The part handles data rates up to 4 Gbps and adds only 460 ps of propagation delay, so it fits into a timing budget without forcing a re-spin of the clock tree. Supply range is 2.375 V to 3.6 V, which lets it run off a common 2.5 V or 3.3 V rail without a separate regulator. The 460 ps typical delay is the time the signal spends inside the part. In a multi-drop clock tree, every buffer stage adds skew; at 4 Gbps a bit period is 250 ps, so this delay is about two bit-times. That is tight enough that you need to account for it in the timing closure spreadsheet, but it will not blow the margin on a well-designed board. The 4 Gbps data rate covers common serial standards like 10GBASE-KR, CPRI, and JESD204B at their lane rates. If the system runs at 3.125 Gbps or lower, the margin is even wider. ## Package and footprint — 8-WSON with exposed pad The part comes in an 8-WFDFN with exposed pad, also called 8-WSON (2x2 mm). The small footprint (2x2 mm) is a plus on dense boards, but the pad is not visible from the top, so orientation relies on pin-1 marking. No lab, no bench — just a good pair of tweezers and a steady hand on the reflow profile. ## Active lifecycle — no LTB worry If a second source is needed for dual-supply resilience, the base product number 65LVDS16 is shared across the family, so a pin-compatible variant in a different tape/reel option is the natural cross-reference.","metaTitle":"SN65LVDS16DRFT Buffer ReDriver, PECL to LVDS, 4 Gbps","metaDescription":"TI SN65LVDS16DRFT single-channel buffer/re-driver: PECL input, LVDS output, 4 Gbps data rate, 460 ps delay, -40 to 85°C, 8-WSON.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Interface & Transceivers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Texas Instruments","Type":"Buffer, ReDriver","Input":"PECL","Output":"LVDS","Series":"-","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Delay Time":"460ps","Applications":"-","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"8-WFDFN Exposed Pad","Product Status":"Active","Data Rate (Max)":"4Gbps","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Current - Supply":"40mA","Voltage - Supply":"2.375V ~ 3.6V","Number of Channels":"1","Base Product Number":"65LVDS16","Signal Conditioning":"-","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~85°C","Supplier Device Package":"8-WSON (2x2)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$4.1260","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/d9caf7e9f22e383db3e90f63aa4a7e67.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/SN65LVDS16DRFT/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the difference between PECL and LVDS?","answer":"PECL (Positive Emitter-Coupled Logic) uses a 5 V or 3.3 V supply with a 800 mV swing centered around 2 V, while LVDS uses a 1.2 V common-mode voltage with a 350 mV swing.
