Product details
Overview
DS90C031BTMX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a quad CMOS LVDS differential line driver supporting 155.5 Mbps data rates (77.7 MHz), ±350 mV differential signaling, 3.5 ns max propagation delay, and ultra-low 11 mW typical idle power in TRI-STATE mode. It translates TTL/CMOS inputs to low-voltage differential outputs for high-speed point-to-point serial links in industrial video and embedded interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DS90C031BTMX/NOPB datasheet, DS90C031BTMX/NOPB pinout, DS90C031BTMX/NOPB application, or DS90C031BTMX/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-16 pin mapping, fail-safe floating-input behavior, LVDS bus termination requirements, and TI-confirmed pin-compatible alternatives for high-speed interface redesigns.
Technical Context
The DS90C031BTMX/NOPB implements a current-mode LVDS driver architecture with fixed 3.4 mA output loop current, delivering 340 mV differential voltage across 100 Ω termination. Its balanced current source design ensures flat quiescent current versus frequency-unlike RS-422 voltage-mode drivers-and eliminates overlap current during switching.
It integrates dual enable logic (EN active-high, EN* active-low OR-ed), power-off high-impedance outputs, and fail-safe circuitry that forces logic "0" on floating inputs. The device conforms strictly to ANSI/TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standards and operates across −40°C to +85°C at 4.5–5.5 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 155.5 Mbps - supports 77.7 MHz clocked serial links without signal integrity degradation |
| Differential Output Voltage (VOD) | 250–450 mV - ensures ≥240 mV noise margin when terminated into 100 Ω |
| Propagation Delay | 0.5–3.5 ns - enables sub-nanosecond timing alignment across four channels |
| Channel Skew | ≤600 ps - maintains inter-channel timing integrity for parallel LVDS buses |
| Supply Current (Enabled) | 15.4–21.0 mA - low power vs. PECL equivalents while sustaining full-speed operation |
| Power-Off Leakage | ±10 μA - prevents bus contention when VCC is absent |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems deployment |
Pinout & Package
DS90C031BTMX/NOPB uses a narrow-body SOIC-16 package (Package Code D, 150-mil width) with standard JEDEC pinout and RoHS-compliant Sn lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7, 9, 15 | DIN | TTL/CMOS-compatible input per channel - accepts 0–5 V logic levels without level-shifting |
| 2, 6, 10, 14 | DOUT+ | Non-inverting LVDS output - sources/sinks 3.4 mA to develop +170 mV relative to DOUT− |
| 3, 5, 11, 13 | DOUT− | Inverting LVDS output - completes differential pair; referenced to DOUT+ for noise rejection |
| 4 | EN | Active-high enable - OR-ed with EN*; drives outputs to high-Z when low |
| 12 | EN* | Active-low enable - OR-ed with EN; provides flexible control via either polarity |
| 16 | VCC | +5 V ±10% supply - powers all four drivers; supports industrial rail tolerance |
| 8 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - shared return path for all channels and enable logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LVDS Compliance | Fully conforms to ANSI/TIA/EIA-644 - guarantees interoperability with standard LVDS receivers like DS90C032B |
| Power-Off High-Z | Outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0 V - prevents bus loading in hot-swap or redundant driver configurations |
| Fail-Safe Inputs | Guarantees logic "0" output (DOUT+ low, DOUT− high) when DIN pins float - eliminates undefined states in unterminated systems |
| TRI-STATE Control | EN/EN* OR logic enables bidirectional disable - reduces supply current to 2.2–4.0 mA in idle mode |
| Pin Compatibility | Matches footprint of DS26C31, MB571, and 41LG PECL drivers - allows drop-in replacement with no PCB change |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LVDS driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS90C031TMX/NOPB | Lacks power-off high-impedance outputs; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and electrical specs | Not suitable for redundant or hot-swap LVDS bus architectures requiring VCC-absent isolation | Select DS90C031BTMX/NOPB when bus contention must be avoided during power sequencing or failure events |
| SN65LVDS046DR | Quad LVDS driver with 400 Mbps capability, 3.3 V only supply, and different enable logic (single EN pin) | Requires 3.3 V system integration and lacks EN*/EN OR functionality; higher speed but less flexible control | Choose SN65LVDS046DR only when migrating to 3.3 V designs and needing >155 Mbps bandwidth |
Compared with DS90C031TMX/NOPB, DS90C031BTMX/NOPB adds critical power-off isolation for fault-tolerant systems; versus SN65LVDS046DR, it retains 5 V compatibility and dual-enable flexibility at lower speed-making it optimal for industrial 5 V LVDS infrastructure upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the DS90C031BTMX/NOPB?
The DS90C031BTMX/NOPB supports a maximum data rate of 155.5 Mbps, corresponding to a 77.7 MHz clock frequency. This rating is validated across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and under 4.5–5.5 V supply conditions, with guaranteed timing margins per the SNLS051B datasheet switching characteristics table.
Does the DS90C031BTMX/NOPB require external termination resistors?
Yes, the DS90C031BTMX/NOPB requires a 100 Ω differential termination resistor placed at the receiver end of the transmission line. As a current-mode LVDS driver, it sources 3.4 mA into the load; the 100 Ω resistor converts this to the specified 340 mV differential output voltage (VOD), which the receiver detects with adequate noise margin.
How does the fail-safe logic function on the DS90C031BTMX/NOPB inputs?
When any DIN input is left floating, the DS90C031BTMX/NOPB's internal fail-safe circuitry forces the corresponding DOUT+ output low and DOUT− high-producing a defined logic "0" state. This prevents metastability or undefined bus states in systems where inputs may be unconnected during initialization or fault conditions.
Can the DS90C031BTMX/NOPB operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, the DS90C031BTMX/NOPB is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V operation per its Recommended Operating Conditions table. Attempting 3.3 V operation violates absolute maximum ratings and will result in non-functional outputs, excessive skew, or latch-up. For 3.3 V LVDS drivers, consider TI's SN65LVDS046DR instead.
What is the purpose of the EN and EN* pins on the DS90C031BTMX/NOPB?
The EN (active-high) and EN* (active-low) pins on the DS90C031BTMX/NOPB are OR-ed internally to control TRI-STATE output enable. Driving either EN high or EN* low activates the outputs; driving EN low and EN* high disables them, placing all DOUT+/DOUT− pairs in high-impedance mode and reducing supply current to 2.2–4.0 mA for power savings.
