Texas Instruments DS90CR285MTD/NOPB: High-Speed LVDS Channel Link Transmitter

The DS90CR285MTD/NOPB is a high-performance LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) channel link transmitter designed by Texas Instruments for high-speed data transmission in industrial, automotive, and communication systems. Housed in a 56-lead TSSOP package, this device operates on a single 3.3 V supply and converts 28 bits of LVCMOS/LVTTL data into four LVDS data streams, achieving a data throughput of up to 1.848 Gbps (231 MB/s). It includes a phase-locked transmit clock synchronized with the data streams over a fifth LVDS link, ensuring reliable timing and synchronization. The transmitter supports an input clock frequency of up to 66 MHz, with each LVDS channel transmitting data at 462 Mbps. Its compact form factor, low EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) emissions, and robust ESD protection (>7 kV) make it ideal for noise-sensitive environments.

DS90CR285MTD/NOPB Key Features

● High-Speed Data Transmission: Supports up to 28 bits of parallel data converted into four LVDS streams, enabling 1.848 Gbps throughput.

● Low Power Consumption: Operates at <250 mW (typical) in active mode and <0.5 mW in power-down mode, extending battery life in portable devices.

● Reduced Cabling Requirements: Multiplexes 28 data lines into 11 conductors (4 data pairs, 1 clock pair, and ground), reducing cable width by 80% compared to traditional parallel buses.
