Product details
Overview
DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a quad CMOS LVDS differential line receiver supporting 400-Mbps data rates (200-MHz clock), operating from a 3.3-V supply, with 2.7-ns max propagation delay and flow-through pinout for simplified PCB routing in high-speed point-to-point interfaces such as multifunction printers and LVDS-to-LVCMOS translation systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB datasheet, DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB pinout, DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB application, or DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include differential skew (≤150 ps channel-to-channel), fail-safe operation under open/short/terminated inputs, −100 mV to 0 V threshold region, and interoperability with 5-V LVDS drivers while delivering 3-V CMOS logic outputs.
Technical Context
The DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB implements four independent LVDS receivers with AND-gated EN/EN* enable control, supporting TRI-STATE outputs common to all channels. Its input stage accepts low-amplitude (350 mV typical) differential signals across a 0.1–2.3 V common-mode range and features internal fail-safe biasing that forces HIGH output during open, shorted, or 100-Ω-terminated conditions.
It conforms fully to ANSI/TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standards, delivers 100-ps typical differential skew and 150-ps typical channel-to-channel skew, and operates over −40°C to +85°C with 40 mW static power dissipation at 3.3 V - enabling ultra-low-power, high-integrity signal reception in noise-sensitive industrial and imaging applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 400 Mbps (200 MHz) - supports high-speed serial links without requiring complex equalization or pre-emphasis. |
| Propagation Delay | Max 2.7 ns - ensures tight timing budgets in synchronous digital systems with minimal latency impact. |
| Channel Skew | Typical 150 ps - enables precise alignment of parallel LVDS data lanes in multi-channel interfaces like printer engine controllers. |
| Differential Skew | Typical 100 ps - maintains signal integrity within each differential pair, reducing jitter and eye closure. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±0.3 V - compatible with standard 3.3-V logic domains and simplifies power rail design versus mixed-voltage solutions. |
| Input Threshold | −100 mV to 0 V region - provides enhanced fail-safe margin over standard ±100 mV LVDS thresholds, improving robustness against noise-induced false switching. |
| Power Dissipation | 40 mW static at 3.3 V - enables dense integration in thermally constrained embedded modules without active cooling. |
Pinout & Package
DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB is packaged in a 16-pin TSSOP (PW0016A) with nominal body size 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm, optimized for compact board layouts and thermal performance (RθJA = 110.2°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RIN1+, RIN2+, RIN3+, RIN4+ | Noninverting LVDS input | Accepts differential voltage referenced to RIN−; supports 350-mV typical swing and failsafe HIGH output when open. |
| RIN1−, RIN2−, RIN3−, RIN4− | Inverting LVDS input | Completes differential pair; internal biasing ensures stable HIGH output if shorted to corresponding RIN+. |
| ROUT1–ROUT4 | 3-V CMOS output | Drives standard LVCMOS loads; outputs enter high-impedance state when EN/EN* disable condition is met. |
| EN / EN* | AND-gated enable control | Both must be asserted (EN = HIGH, EN* = LOW or open) to enable outputs; any other combination forces TRI-STATE. |
| VCC | 3.3-V power supply | Must be decoupled with 0.1-μF + 0.001-μF ceramic capacitors placed adjacent to pin 13 for stable high-frequency operation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Single ground connection (pin 12) serves all four receivers and enables clean return path for differential currents. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Enables straight-line PCB trace routing between driver and receiver, minimizing stub length and differential pair mismatch. |
| Fail-safe operation | Guarantees HIGH output for open, shorted, or 100-Ω-terminated inputs - eliminates need for external bias resistors in most configurations. |
| Low-power LVDS interface | 40 mW static consumption at 3.3 V allows deployment in battery-backed or thermally limited systems without derating. |
| Interoperability with 5-V LVDS | Accepts standard 5-V LVDS driver outputs while generating 3-V CMOS levels - bridges legacy and modern logic families. |
| Enhanced threshold region | −100 mV to 0 V switching window improves noise immunity and enables reliable fail-safe biasing with minimal external components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LVDS receiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN65LVDS048A | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, but rated for −40°C to +125°C industrial temp range and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2. | Preferred for automotive infotainment displays and ADAS camera links requiring extended temperature reliability. | Select SN65LVDS048A when operating above +85°C or requiring automotive qualification; otherwise DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB offers cost-optimized performance. |
| MAX9107 | Quad LVDS receiver with 3.3-V supply, but lacks integrated fail-safe and has higher 3.5-ns max propagation delay. | Suitable for non-critical industrial control where external biasing is acceptable and timing margins are relaxed. | Choose MAX9107 only if existing board layout uses its different pinout and external fail-safe resistors are already implemented. |
Compared with SN65LVDS048A and MAX9107, DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB delivers optimal balance of cost, fail-safe robustness, and 2.7-ns timing performance for commercial-grade high-speed imaging and printing systems - without requiring external biasing or extended-temp qualification overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB?
The DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB supports a maximum operating frequency of 200 MHz (400 Mbps data rate) under recommended conditions (VCC = 3.3 V, TA = −40°C to +85°C). This is verified in the Switching Characteristics table (Section 6.6) of the official datasheet, with fMAX specified as 200 MHz minimum and 250 MHz typical across all four channels simultaneously.
Does DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB require external termination resistors?
Yes, DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB requires a 100-Ω differential termination resistor placed as close as possible to its RIN+/RIN− inputs. The device itself does not integrate termination; the resistor converts the LVDS driver's current-mode output into a detectable voltage. Layout guidelines specify ≤10 mm distance between termination and input pins to maintain signal integrity and minimize reflections.
How does the fail-safe feature work on DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB?
The DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB implements internal fail-safe circuitry that guarantees a HIGH output state when inputs are open, shorted together, or terminated with 100 Ω - without external components. This is achieved via internal high-value pullup/pulldown resistors. The feature is confirmed in Section 8.3.1 and Table 1 of the datasheet, covering all standard fault conditions encountered in field-deployed systems.
Can DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB interface directly with 5-V LVDS drivers?
Yes, DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB is explicitly interoperable with 5-V LVDS drivers per its Features list and Section 3 Description. Its input stage accepts standard LVDS differential swings (350 mV typical) and tolerates common-mode voltages up to VCC, enabling direct connection without level-shifting circuitry - a key advantage documented in TI's SNLS045C datasheet revision C.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB in its TSSOP package?
The DS90LV048ATMX/NOPB in the PW0016A (TSSOP-16) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 110.2°C/W, as specified in Section 6.4 (Thermal Information) of the datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and informs thermal design for continuous operation at full data rate in enclosed enclosures.
