Working Principle

The SN65MLVD201DR is a low voltage differential line driver and receiver used in many communications and multimedia applications. It offers high speed, low power consumption and wide noise rejection capabilities. It uses differential PECL with in-situ hybrid termination technology to ensure receiver sensitivity.

The SN65MLVD201DR consists of two receiver channels and two driver channels. The receiver consists of two full bridge rectifiers, one of which is coupled to a low pass filter consisting of transfer gates and capacitors. The receiver is insensitive to voltage drops and noise due to the differential PECL architecture.

The driver channels consist of a pair of complementary n-channel and p-channel MOSFETs. The MOSFETs are used to generate differential PECL signals and provide a low impedance drive to the line.

The SN65MLVD201DR also features low harmonic distortion, an output state indicator and an enable input. It is designed to tolerate up to –7V at its input pins, enabling data to be transmitted in harsh environments.

Conclusion

The SN65MLVD201DR is a high speed low voltage differential line driver and receiver used in a variety of multimedia applications. It offers low power consumption, wide noise rejection and low harmonic distortion. The SN65MLVD201DR is available in both a surface mount and ball grid array package and is used in products such as cameras, routers, hard drives, DVD players and other multimedia devices.
