Product Description

The PI90LV179, PI90LV180, PI90LV050, and PI90LV051 are differential line drivers and receivers (transceivers) that are compliant with the IEEE 1596.3 SCI and ANSI/TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standards. These devices use low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) to achieve data rates in excess of 660 Mbps while being less susceptible to noise than single-ended transmission.

The drivers translate a low-voltage TTL/CMOS input into a low voltage (350mV typical) differential output signal. The receivers translate a differential 350mV input signal to a 3V CMOS output level. The driver section can be independently set to a power-down and high-impedance output mode with the DEN pin (active HIGH). The receiver section is controlled by the REN* pin (active LOW).

Applications

Applications include point-to-point and multidrop baseband data transmission over a controlled impedance media of approximately 100 ohms. These include intra-system connections via printed circuit board traces or cables, hubs and routers for data communications; PBXs, switches, repeaters and base stations for telecommunications and other applications such as digital cameras, printers and copiers.
