Texas Instruments Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers SN65MLVD204DR

The SN65MLVD204DR is a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) transceiver designed for multipoint applications, compliant with the M-LVDS standard (TIA/EIA-899). It operates from a single 3.3-V supply and supports signaling rates up to 100 Mbps. The device features Type-2 receivers that provide an offset threshold of 100 mV to detect open-circuit and idle-bus conditions, ensuring reliable operation in various scenarios. Propagation delay times are typically 2.3 ns for drivers and 5 ns for receivers, contributing to efficient data transmission. The transceiver is characterized for operation in a temperature range of -40¬8C to 85¬8C, making it suitable for industrial applications. It also includes features such as glitch-free power-up/down operation and the ability to handle continuous short circuits without damage. The bus pins are high impedance when disabled or when VCC is below 1.5 V, enhancing system reliability. This product is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC format, making it suitable for compact designs.
