Product details
Overview
PI90LV01TEX from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.3V low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) line driver in SOT23-5 package, delivering 350mV differential output into 100Ω load, 1.5ns typical propagation delay, and 20mW power dissipation at 200MHz for high-speed point-to-point data transmission in industrial backplanes and PCB interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the PI90LV01TEX datasheet, PI90LV01TEX pinout, PI90LV01TEX application, or PI90LV01TEX equivalent, this device serves as a TIA/EIA-644-compliant LVDS transmitter with 5V-tolerant LVTTL inputs, –40°C to 105°C operation, and ESD robustness exceeding 2kV HBM-key for noise-sensitive serial links in embedded control and instrumentation systems.
Technical Context
The PI90LV01TEX implements a single-channel LVDS driver with true differential output stage compliant to ANSI TIA/EIA-644-1995, translating LVTTL/CMOS logic levels into low-noise 350mV differential swing. Its input threshold is referenced to ground, and it supports 660Mbps signaling rates under controlled-impedance conditions.
It operates exclusively from a 3.3V supply (3.0–3.6V range), features 5V-tolerant DIN input, and maintains stable common-mode output voltage (1.125–1.375V) across temperature and load. Propagation delay skew is ≤0.3ns, enabling precise timing alignment in multi-lane interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6V: Ensures compatibility with standard 3.3V logic domains without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Differential Output Voltage | 247–454mV (typ. 350mV) into 100Ω: Meets TIA/EIA-644 minimum for reliable receiver detection margin. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5ns (tPLH, typ.), 1.8ns (tPHL, typ.): Enables sub-2ns timing precision for >500MHz data rates. |
| Power Dissipation | 20mW @ 200MHz: Supports thermally constrained SOT23-5 layouts in dense routing environments. |
| ESD Rating | ≥2kV HBM: Provides robustness against handling and board-level transients in industrial assembly. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +105°C: Validated for extended industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.5V to 6V on DIN: Allows direct interfacing with 5V-tolerant microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SOT23 (T), Pb-free and RoHS-compliant, footprint-optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC) | Positive supply rail | 3.3V power input; decoupling capacitor required within 1cm for stable high-speed operation. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Signal and power return path; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 3 (Z) | Inverted differential output | Complementary output terminal; forms 100Ω differential pair with Y for LVDS signaling. |
| 4 (DIN) | Single-ended TTL/CMOS input | 5V-tolerant digital input; drives internal differential stage with no external biasing needed. |
| 5 (Y) | Non-inverted differential output | Primary output terminal; routed with matched length and impedance to Z for signal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LVDS line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN65LVDS1 (Texas Instruments) | Higher ICC (9mA typ. vs. 5.5mA), same 3.3V supply and 100Ω load drive, but lacks 5V-tolerant input. | Requires external level shifter when interfacing with 5V microcontrollers; less suitable for mixed-voltage legacy designs. | Select when TI ecosystem integration or higher drive strength tolerance is prioritized over input voltage flexibility. |
| MAX9121 (Maxim Integrated) | Wider VCC range (2.5–3.6V), lower VOD (250mV min), and higher tPLH/tPHL (2.2ns typ.) than PI90LV01TEX. | Marginally lower noise immunity and reduced timing margin at >500Mbps; better suited for cost-sensitive, lower-speed applications. | Choose where supply rail variation exceeds ±0.3V or where 250mV VOD suffices for short-reach (<10cm) links. |
Compared with SN65LVDS1 and MAX9121, the PI90LV01TEX offers superior input voltage tolerance, tighter propagation delay, and optimized power efficiency-making it preferred for compact, mixed-voltage, high-speed industrial interfaces where layout space and thermal headroom are constrained.

FAQ
Is PI90LV01TEX compatible with 5V logic inputs?
Yes. The DIN input is explicitly rated for –0.5V to 6V, allowing direct connection to 5V-tolerant microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs without external level shifters. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Recommended Operating Conditions section of DS40163 Rev 1-2.
What is the recommended termination for PI90LV01TEX outputs?
A 100Ω differential termination across Y and Z pins is required, matching the device's specified load condition for 350mV output swing. The datasheet confirms RL = 100Ω for PI90LV01 (vs. 50Ω for PI90LVB01), and Figure 1 shows the standard test configuration using 49.9Ω resistors to ground per leg.
Does PI90LV01TEX support operation at 2.5V supply?
No. The Recommended Operating Conditions specify VCC min = 3.0V, and Absolute Maximum Ratings list –0.5V to 4.0V-indicating 2.5V is outside functional range. Operation below 3.0V risks failure to meet TIA/EIA-644 output voltage and timing specifications.
How does PI90LV01TEX handle ground potential differences between transmitter and receiver?
Per TIA/EIA-644 compliance, it tolerates up to 1V ground potential difference between transmitter and receiver while maintaining reliable signal reception. This is enabled by its common-mode output voltage range (1.125–1.375V) and receiver-compatible differential sensitivity (≥100mV).
