Product details
Overview
DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel 3.3V LVDS CMOS differential line receiver with integrated 102Ω input termination, designed for point-to-point high-speed serial links. It supports >400 Mbps data rates (200 MHz), delivers ≤3.5 ns propagation delay, and operates across −40°C to +85°C in SOT-23-5 package - enabling compact, low-power interface solutions in industrial video, FPGA-to-FPGA interconnects, and embedded display timing systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB datasheet, DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB pinout, DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB application, or DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated termination, fail-safe HIGH output on open/short/terminated inputs, 350 mV typical differential input sensitivity, and compatibility with ANSI TIA/EIA-644-A LVDS standard - all critical for noise-immune, layout-efficient differential signaling at sub-1 ns skew.
Technical Context
The DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB implements a high-gain, current-mode LVDS receiver architecture with internal fail-safe biasing that forces TTL OUT HIGH under open, shorted, or 100Ω-terminated input conditions. Its differential threshold range of −100 mV to 0 mV enables robust noise margin with minimal external biasing.
Unlike the DS90LV012A, the DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB integrates a 102Ω termination resistor optimized for point-to-point topologies, eliminating external components and reducing PCB stub length. It accepts LVDS, BLVDS, and LVPECL inputs while translating to 3-V CMOS logic levels with 2.4 V minimum VOH and 0.5 V maximum VOL at 2 mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 400 Mbps (200 MHz) - supports high-bandwidth pixel clock forwarding and serial sensor interfaces |
| Propagation Delay | ≤3.5 ns max - ensures tight timing alignment in synchronous parallel-to-serial conversion paths |
| Differential Skew | 100 ps typical - minimizes jitter accumulation in multi-channel LVDS receivers |
| Input Termination | 102 Ω integrated - eliminates external resistor and placement constraints for point-to-point links |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V rail and tolerant of ±10% regulation variation |
| Fail-Safe Output | HIGH state on open/short/100Ω-terminated inputs - prevents undefined logic states during cable disconnect or driver power loss |
| Common-Mode Range | 0.05 V to (VDD − 0.3 V) - accommodates ground offsets up to ±1 V in mixed-voltage system interconnects |

| 3 (IN+) | Non-inverting differential input | Paired with IN− to form 100Ω differential termination path; rejects common-mode noise |
| 4 (VDD) | Power supply | 3.3 V ±0.3 V supply; requires local 0.1 µF + 0.001 µF ceramic decoupling |
| 5 (TTL OUT) | CMOS-compatible output | Drives 3-V logic loads directly; 2.4 V min VOH at −0.4 mA, 0.5 V max VOL at 2 mA |
Key Features

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS90LV012ATMF/NOPB | No integrated termination resistor; requires external 100Ω across IN+/IN− | Better suited for multi-drop or stubbed topologies where termination location flexibility is needed | Select DS90LV012ATMF/NOPB when board layout allows precise placement of external termination near receiver pins |
| SN65LVDS1 | Higher 5.5 mA ICC, no integrated termination, wider −40°C to +125°C temp range | Preferred for extended temperature automotive or aerospace applications requiring higher drive strength | Choose SN65LVDS1 only if operating above +85°C or requiring higher output drive capability beyond DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB's 2 mA load rating |
Compared with DS90LV012ATMF/NOPB and SN65LVDS1, the DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB uniquely combines integrated termination, ultra-low 10 mW static power, and fail-safe HIGH output in SOT-23-5 - making it optimal for space-constrained, single-point interconnects where layout simplicity and reliability outweigh termination flexibility or extended temperature needs.

FAQ
What is the function of the integrated 102Ω resistor in DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB?
The integrated 102Ω resistor in DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB provides on-chip differential termination for point-to-point LVDS links, eliminating the need for an external 100Ω resistor. This reduces PCB area, minimizes trace stubs, and improves signal integrity by placing termination precisely at the receiver input. It is optimized for use with 100Ω characteristic impedance media and cannot be disabled or bypassed.
Does DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB support fail-safe operation with open inputs?
Yes, DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB guarantees a HIGH output state when inputs are open, shorted, or terminated with 100Ω - due to internal fail-safe circuitry that sources/sinks small bias current. This behavior is specified across the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range and requires no external components, ensuring deterministic logic states during cable disconnect or driver power-down events.
Can DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB accept LVPECL input signals?
Yes, DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB explicitly supports LVPECL inputs per its datasheet, in addition to LVDS and BLVDS. Its wide common-mode input range (0.05 V to VDD − 0.3 V) and differential sensitivity down to 100 mV enable interoperability with LVPECL drivers without level-shifting. However, proper AC-coupling and biasing may be required to center the LVPECL common-mode voltage within the DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB's valid range.
What is the maximum propagation delay specification for DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB?
The maximum propagation delay for DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB is 3.5 ns, measured differentially (tPHLD or tPLHD) under CL = 15 pF load and VID = ±200 mV input conditions. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature and voltage range (−40°C to +85°C, 2.7 V to 3.6 V), making it suitable for timing-critical applications such as high-speed pixel clock recovery and FPGA synchronization.
Is DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB pin-compatible with DS90LV012ATMF/NOPB?
Yes, DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB and DS90LV012ATMF/NOPB share identical SOT-23-5 (DBV) pinout, pin functions, and package dimensions. Both devices use the same IN+, IN−, VDD, GND, and TTL OUT pin assignments. The only functional difference is the presence of integrated termination in DS90LT012ATMF/NOPB - meaning they are drop-in replacements in layouts where external termination is omitted or relocated.
