Active LVDS line receiver in SOT-23-5
The DS90LV012ATMFX/NOPB: The SOT-23-5 footprint (SC-74A) keeps the PCB area small — the 0.95 mm pitch is routable on two-layer boards with careful trace spacing.
400 Mbps link budget and temperature grade
At 400 Mbps the receiver's input threshold and propagation delay set the maximum cable length — for a typical backplane trace or twisted-pair run under 10 m, the 400 Mbps ceiling is safe. Above that, the differential skew and jitter accumulation start eating the setup-and-hold margin at the FPGA or ASIC input.
Sourcing and compliance
The part is RoHS3 compliant (lead-free per EU 2015/863), and the standard packaging is Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) for the SOT-23-5 carrier. For BOM planning: the base product number DS90LV012 covers the whole family, so a reel of the -NOPB suffix is the lead-free, RoHS-compliant variant. No second-source or pin-compatible alternative is listed on the official record — the design is single-sourced to TI unless a board spin is accepted.
