DS36F95M/NOPB

The DS36F95M/NOPB is an octal buffer/driver designed to drive bus-oriented data transmission lines in either the receiver, transmitter, or transceiver interface application. It is manufactured with advanced CMOS technology to meet the high-speed transmission and low-power requirements needed for today\'s high-speed data communications systems.

In receiver applications, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), LEDs, and other high-impedance systems are driven by the DS36F95M/NOPB. In transmitter applications, it is used to drive lines to a voltage higher than the transmitting voltage level. The DS36F95M/NOPB also has bus-hold capability to retain the most recently received data, eliminating the need for a separate bus-hold register. It is capable of driving 0.8 V pp receivers and is ideal for applications including SDRAM, SRAM, and RAMbus interfaces.

In transceiver applications, the DS36F95M/NOPB can be used to buffer and drive three-state signals when bidirectional data transfers are required. It is designed to meet multiple interface requirements such as DDR and DDR2 SDRAM control bus, PCI-Express root port and side-band signals, Ultrasparc control busses, and DVI/Display Port link ports.

The DS36F95M/NOPB has 8-bit buffer/drivers. Each output has 3.2-kΩ pull-up resistors and wide voltage range allows operation from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. An enabled buffer will either source or sink up to 24 mA of current with low output-frequency dependent loading of the bus line. The high-current drive capability of the DS36F95M/NOPB allows worst-case bus loading to be reduced significantly.

The DS36F95M/NOPB\'s wide operating-temperature range makes it ideal for use in automotive and industrial applications. It is also very well suited for applications where transmission line reflections and EMI minimization are critical for system performance and reliability. With its high ESD capability, the DS36F95M/NOPB device ensures that its output signals won’t be damaged due to ESD.

The on-chip enable input allows all outputs to be turned on or off simultaneously, reducing the number of input pins needed to control the device. The DS36F95M/NOPB has a select pin (MODE) that is used to select between the following two modes of operation: bidirectional or push-pull. When in bidirectional mode, the device will output either the signal on the A bus or B bus, depending on which is energized. The DS36F95M/NOPB also has a low-power sleep mode that reduces the power consumption when the device is not in use.

Overall, the DS36F95M/NOPB is a versatile high-performance octal buffer/driver designed to support the most demanding interface applications. It features low-power operation, high-current drive capability, wide operating temperature range, low-noise output, and excellent ESD protection. The DS36F95M/NOPB is an ideal choice for applications demanding speed and power efficiency.
