SN65LBC174A16DWRG4

The SN65LBC174A16DWRG4 is an integrated circuit (IC) that belongs to the Interface - Drivers, Receivers, and Transceivers, category. It is a high-speed 16-bit Integrated Circuit Transceiver in low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) technology. The SN65LBC174A16DWRG4 supports high-speed data transmission with the help of differential signaling, and the device also incorporates built-in termination resistors to reduce the number of external components required for the interface. This device enables these high transition and low power consumption signals to be used for communication between two digital devices related in a system for high performance operations, such as 5G, PCIE, and more.

The SN65LBC174A16DWRG4 includes 16 ports of driver and receiver pairs, with an active current of only 8mA (in NVT mode). It operates from a single supply voltage at 3.3V and can be used in both single-ended and differential transmission lines. It is designed to be used in applications with rapid rise and fall times of 10 nsec or less on the transmission side. With a maximum data rate up to 6Gbps and a low transition of ER (Edge Rate) of 12ps, the SN65LBC174A16DWRG4 can be used in various bus and interface applications to transfer data efficiently and accurately, such as Ethernet, HDMI, DisplayPort, and others.

The SN65LBC174A16DWRG4 is designed to maintain signal integrity even in high-speed and high-noise environments. It offers protection from EMI/RFI and reduces reflections from the transmission line caused by the low profile design of the package. The device also supports short-circuit detection to protect the connected circuit when a short-circuit occurs and detects faults. The SN65LBC174A16DWRG4 also includes programmable rise and fall time control for added flexibility when designing systems.

The working principle of the SN65LBC174A16DWRG4 is relatively simple. The differential signals from the transmitter, namely the “data-in” and “data-in-bar”, are sent to the receiver. The data is transmitted using differential signaling, which is a method using two voltage signals that are a mirror image of each other. This differential signal is used to reduce noise interference because any noise that is picked up by the signal is equal in magnitude but opposite in phase. As a result, it is canceled out when the data is received at the receiver end.

The LVDS differential receiver at the receiver end transfers the data signals through a low-impedance noise immunity link, which has a wide range of transmission rates, low power consumption, great EMI immunity, and low propagation delay. Then, these signals are amplified by the built-in amplifier, and then passed on to the output ports as “Data-Out” and “Data-Out-Bar”.

The SN65LBC174A16DWRG4 offers numerous advantages with its low power consumption and robust transmission link. It is perfect for applications needing the high speed and low power consumption of differential signaling. As such, this device is suitable for a wide range of digital applications, such as high-speed bus and interfaces, high-speed networking, data storage and more.
