Product details
Overview
SN65CML100DR from Texas Instruments is a 1.5-Gbps LVDS/LVPECL/CML-to-CML translator/repeater in SOIC-8 package, supporting differential signaling up to 1.5 Gbps with <70 ps peak-to-peak jitter, 800 ps max propagation delay, and direct drive of 25-Ω or 50-Ω loads at 1.8-V/2.5-V/3.3-V supplies. It enables high-speed network routing and clock distribution in telecom infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the SN65CML100DR datasheet, SN65CML100DR pinout, SN65CML100DR application, or SN65CML100DR equivalent, key selection criteria include its CML-compatible output drive capability, wide 0–4 V common-mode input range enabling direct coupling, 25 mV input hysteresis for noise immunity, and support for single-ended LVPECL inputs via VBB reference voltage.
Technical Context
The SN65CML100DR implements a fully differential signal path from A/B inputs to Y/Z outputs, minimizing pulse-width distortion and radiated emissions. Its receiver accepts LVDS (TIA/EIA-644), LVPECL, and CML levels, with internal hysteresis and wide common-mode tolerance (0 V to 4 V) eliminating AC-coupling capacitors in many configurations.
Internally generated VBB (1.95 V nominal, tracking VCC 1:1) serves as a switching reference for single-ended LVPECL inputs; unused differential input must be tied to VBB. Output drivers are current-mode with rail-to-rail swing referenced to VTT, supporting 25-Ω or 50-Ω termination to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V supplies without level-shifting circuitry.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN65LVDS100DR | LVDS-to-LVDS repeater only; no CML output or LVPECL input support; 800 Mbps max rate | Limited to LVDS ecosystems; cannot interface with CML transceivers or LVPECL clocks | Select when system uses LVDS exclusively and jitter budget allows higher values (120 ps pp) |
| LMH0384SQ/NOPB | SMPTE serial digital interface repeater; integrated cable equalization; 2.97 Gbps; different pinout and protocol stack | Designed for video broadcast infrastructure; not suitable for generic CML/LVPECL translation | Choose only for SDI/HDMI transport; incompatible for general-purpose high-speed logic translation |
Compared with SN65LVDS100DR and LMH0384SQ/NOPB, the SN65CML100DR uniquely supports true multi-standard level translation (LVDS/LVPECL/CML) at 1.5 Gbps with CML output drive capability, making it irreplaceable in hybrid signal-chain architectures requiring interoperability across legacy and modern high-speed interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for SN65CML100DR?
The SN65CML100DR supports signaling rates up to 1.5 Gbps, validated using 223–1 PRBS patterns at 25°C with 200 mV differential input voltage. This rate is specified under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 25°C, RT = 50 Ω, VTT = 3.3 V) and applies to both translation and repeater modes of the SN65CML100DR.
Can SN65CML100DR accept single-ended LVPECL inputs?
Yes, the SN65CML100DR supports single-ended LVPECL inputs using the VBB pin as a switching reference voltage. When configured this way, the unused differential input (A or B) is connected to VBB, which outputs 1.95 V ±60 mV. The SN65CML100DR datasheet specifies decoupling VBB with a 0.01-µF capacitor and limiting current to ≤400 µA.
What are the output termination requirements for SN65CML100DR?
The SN65CML100DR outputs require external 25-Ω or 50-Ω termination to VTT (1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V). Output voltage levels (VOH/VOL) and differential swing (|VOD|) are specified relative to VTT and track VTT 1:1. For example, with VTT = 2.5 V and 50-Ω termination, |VOD| is 640–1000 mV - a design requirement directly enforced by the SN65CML100DR's CML driver architecture.
Does SN65CML100DR require AC-coupling capacitors on its inputs?
No, the SN65CML100DR does not require AC-coupling capacitors due to its 0 V to 4 V common-mode input voltage range. This allows direct DC coupling from LVDS, LVPECL, and CML sources. The SN65CML100DR's 25 mV input hysteresis further enhances noise immunity in such configurations, eliminating the need for external biasing networks.
What is the function of the NC pin on SN65CML100DR?
The NC (No Connect) pin on SN65CML100DR is Pin 1 - the index marker for SOIC-8 orientation. It has no internal connection and must remain unconnected on the PCB. TI's package drawing D0008A confirms this pin is reserved solely for mechanical indexing; routing or grounding the NC pin may compromise SN65CML100DR signal integrity or thermal performance.
