Product details
Overview
SN65LVELT23D from Texas Instruments is a dual 3.3-V differential LVPECL/LVDS-to-LVTTL translator IC used for high-speed clock and data level conversion in backplane and timing interfaces. It delivers 24-mA LVTTL outputs, supports >180 MHz operation, exhibits 2-ns typical propagation delay, and integrates internal 50-kΩ pullup/pulldown resistors for open-input biasing.
For engineers reviewing the SN65LVELT23D datasheet, SN65LVELT23D pinout, SN65LVELT23D application, or SN65LVELT23D equivalent, this device is selected for precise low-jitter signal translation between differential high-speed buses and single-ended TTL logic domains in telecom infrastructure, FPGA interconnects, and test equipment.
Technical Context
The SN65LVELT23D implements two independent differential input stages with built-in termination biasing at VCC/2, enabling direct connection to LVPECL or LVDS sources without external resistors. Each channel converts differential swing (200–1000 mV) into full-rail LVTTL-compatible outputs (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.5 V at 24 mA).
Its internal temperature-compensated design maintains stable DC thresholds across –40°C to 85°C, while AC performance is characterized with <160 ps output skew and 4–10 ps RMS random jitter - critical for synchronous multi-channel timing distribution.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - enables direct integration into 3.3-V systems with ±0.3-V tolerance |
| Max switching frequency | 300 MHz (typical) - supports high-speed serial clock recovery and parallel data strobes |
| Propagation delay | 1.2–2.2 ns (over temp) - ensures sub-nanosecond timing margin in tight setup/hold windows |
| LVTTL output drive | 24 mA sink/source - directly drives standard TTL loads without external buffers |
| Input common-mode range | 1.2 V to VCC - accommodates LVPECL (VCC–1.3 V) and LVDS (1.2 V) input standards |
| Output skew | ≤160 ps (tSK++) - preserves phase alignment between Q0 and Q1 outputs for dual-clock paths |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom base station environments |
Pinout & Package
SN65LVELT23D is housed in an industry-standard SOIC-8 package (D package), 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm, 1.75 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 4 (D1) | Inverting LVPECL/LVDS input | Complementary input for second channel; supports independent dual-channel translation |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply | 3.3-V power rail; powers both input receivers and LVTTL output drivers |
| 6 (Q0) | LVTTL output | Single-ended TTL-compatible output for Channel 0; 24-mA drive capability |
| 7 (Q1) | LVTTL output | Single-ended TTL-compatible output for Channel 1; matched delay and skew to Q0 |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for supply and signals; requires low-impedance PCB plane for jitter control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential-to-single-ended translator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC100LVELT23DG | Same pinout and function; identical AC specs but rated for –40°C to +85°C only under commercial conditions (no extended temp validation) | Valid for cost-sensitive commercial designs; not recommended for industrial ambient extremes | Select if sourcing legacy inventory or requiring identical footprint with TI-agnostic supply chain |
| SN65LVDS31DR | LVDS-to-LVTTL only (no LVPECL support); higher 3.5-ns propagation delay; no internal pullup/pulldown | Suitable for pure LVDS source systems but requires external biasing and offers lower speed margin | Choose only when LVPECL compatibility is unnecessary and board space allows for external 50-Ω termination |
Compared with MC100LVELT23DG and SN65LVDS31DR, the SN65LVELT23D uniquely combines LVPECL/LVDS dual-standard input support, integrated biasing, and sub-2-ns delay in a production-qualified industrial-grade SOIC-8 package - making it the optimal choice for mixed-signal timing bridges where layout simplicity and jitter performance are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported input voltage swing for SN65LVELT23D?
The SN65LVELT23D accepts differential input voltage swings from 200 mV to 1000 mV, with guaranteed full logic swing at the LVTTL outputs even at the minimum 200-mV input level. This range covers standard LVDS (350 mV) and LVPECL (800 mV) signaling amplitudes without external gain or attenuation.
Does SN65LVELT23D require external pullup or pulldown resistors on its differential inputs?
No, the SN65LVELT23D includes internal 50-kΩ pullup and pulldown resistors on all four differential inputs (D0, D0, D1, D1). These ensure proper VCC/2 biasing when inputs are left open or unterminated, eliminating the need for external resistors in most applications.
Can SN65LVELT23D operate with a 3.0-V supply voltage?
Yes, the SN65LVELT23D is fully specified for operation from 3.0 V to 3.6 V. At 3.0 V, it maintains LVTTL-compatible VOH ≥ 2.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.5 V under 24-mA load, and supports >180 MHz switching - making it compatible with low-voltage 3.0-V system rails.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of SN65LVELT23D in its SOIC-8 package?
The SN65LVELT23D in SOIC-8 (D package) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 79°C/W under low-K board conditions and 98°C/W under high-K board conditions. Its maximum power dissipation is derated linearly above 25°C ambient, down to 288 mW at 85°C.
Is SN65LVELT23D pin-compatible with MC100LVELT23?
Yes, the SN65LVELT23D is explicitly drop-in compatible with MC100LVELT23, sharing identical SOIC-8 pinout, electrical behavior, and functional operation. TI confirms this compatibility in the official datasheet, enabling seamless replacement in existing designs.
