It accepts CML, LVDS, or LVPECL inputs and retransmits clean LVDS outputs with programmable output pre-emphasis, compensating for interconnect attenuation up to the 2 Gbps data rate per channel. The 1.0 ns propagation delay keeps total link latency low. Each of the four channels draws from a shared 175 mA supply rail, so the total supply current for the device is fixed regardless of how many channels are active. The -40°C to 85°C operating range covers industrial environments: outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor machine vision links, and under-hood automotive infotainment buses (though this part is not AEC-Q100 qualified). The 32-WQFN (5x5 mm) package with exposed pad requires a thermal land on the PCB for heat sinking — the pad must be soldered to a ground plane pour. ## Sourcing and lifecycle — active, no LTB horizon The DS15BR401TSQ/NOPB carries an Active lifecycle status with ROHS3 compliance. There is no last-time-buy notice, no NRND flag, and no official successor announced. For a BOM line that requires a 4-channel LVDS reDriver, this part can be specified into new designs without worrying about near-term obsolescence. The NOPB suffix indicates the lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish — the same die as the original part, just in a green package. The two are electrically identical; the NOPB variant is the current production version. ## Signal conditioning for lossy interconnects Output pre-emphasis boosts the high-frequency content of the LVDS output edge, counteracting skin-effect and dielectric losses of PCB traces. This feature helps close the link with margin at 2 Gbps over long backplane traces. The 3 pF input capacitance is low enough to not load the upstream driver beyond its specification.","metaTitle":"DS15BR401TSQ/NOPB LVDS Buffer/ReDriver, 4-Ch, 2 Gbps","metaDescription":"DS15BR401TSQ/NOPB is a 4-channel LVDS buffer/reDriver with 2 Gbps data rate, output pre-emphasis, and -40°C to 85°C range.
