DS90LV017A

LVDS Single High Speed Differential Driver

General Description

The DS90LV017A is a single LVDS driver device optimized

for high data rate and low power applications. The

DS90LV017A is a current mode driver allowing power dissi-

pation to remain low even at high frequency. In addition, the

short circuit fault current is also minimized. The device is de-

signed to support data rates in excess of 600Mbps

(300MHz) utilizing Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS)

technology.

The device is in a 8-lead small outline package. The

DS90LV017A has a flow-through design for easy PCB lay-

out. The differential driver outputs provides low EMI with its

typical low output swing of 355 mV. The DS90LV017A can be

paired

with

its

companion

single

line

receiver,

the

DS90LV018A, or with any of National’s LVDS receivers, to

provide a high-speed point-to-point LVDS interface.
