LVDS line driver for high-speed serial links
The MAX9112ESA+T from Analog Devices is a dual LVDS driver in an 8-SOIC package. It handles 500 Mbps per channel, translating parallel CMOS/TTL signals into a low-voltage differential pair for noise-immune transmission over twisted-pair or PCB traces. Typical applications include backplane interconnects, flat-panel display interfaces, and high-speed clock distribution in industrial or telecom equipment where the -40°C to 85°C temperature range covers the enclosure ambient.
Supply and signaling — what the 3V–3.6V rail means
The driver operates from a single 3V to 3.6V supply. The 2/0 driver/receiver count means this part drives two differential pairs.
Package and storage — 8-SOIC on tape and reel
Supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT), the 8-SOIC body (0.154" wide, 3.90 mm) is a standard footprint that reflows easily and fits tight board layouts. Store the reels dry — the MSL level is not stated here, but SOIC packages typically require dry-bake before reflow if the moisture-barrier bag is breached. The surface-mount package suits automated pick-and-place; no through-hole variants exist.
Lifecycle and sourcing — active, no LTB watch needed
The MAX9112ESA+T carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant.
