XR33038ID-F

XR33038ID-F is a product from the famous semiconductor supplier Exar Corporation. It is a 8-bit serial interface receiver-transceiver which supports both standard and low voltage differential (LVDS) signaling. This product is especially suited for use in communication links with electronic equipment and applications where low power and data signal integrity are requirements.

Application Field

The XR33038ID-F is ideal for use in many applications with data rates from 10 Mbps to 1 Gbps. It is applicable to point-to-point connections and common buses, such as MIL-STD-1553 and Avionics Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX). Moreover, it supports JEDEC standard 1.8V and 2.5V I/O supply voltage levels and can be used to implement high-speed serial interfaces in various communication systems.

Working Principle

The XR33038ID-F is a transceiver that supports both standard (1.5 V) and low voltage differential (LVDS) signaling. It integrates a differential driver and a differential receiver along with control logic and output latches. The receiver portion of the device is compatible with PECL, CML and LVDS inputs making it suitable for host system interfacing. It also includes an output latch, so the signal data is latched for serially outputting upon host request.

The XR33038ID-F supports common-mode signal termination for improved signal integrity, limiting noise interference in the system. It also includes both EMI and signal noise immunity, which guarantees that its receiver section is immune to signal noise in the system.

The device is designed to interface with low speed serial protocols such as UART and I2C. Additionally, it is suitable for I2S and SPI bus organizations. The device offers a data rate of up to 10 Mbps, and its data rate is selectable at 8 Mbps, 4 Mbps, and 2 Mbps.

The device also features a sleep mode to reduce power consumption. Its power shutdown mode reduces power consumption to less than 10 µA, making it suitable for applications requiring low power consumption. Furthermore, it is designed to support hot-plugging, which allows a board to be removed and replaced without powering down the system.

The XR33038ID-F is compliant to RoHS and other environmental safety standards and comes in a compact, surface-mount package with a 20-pin QFN-type package. Therefore, it can be employed with existing micro-controllers and other digital components for wide range of modern communications systems.
