LVDS receiver for point-to-point backplane links
The DS90LV028ATM-TI is a dual-channel LVDS receiver from Texas Instruments, designed to convert a differential LVDS signal back to a single-ended CMOS logic level on the receiving end of a high-speed serial link. It handles data rates up to 400 Mbps per channel, which suits it for backplane clock distribution, cable extender inputs, or as the receive side of a point-to-point interconnect in a system that already uses LVDS drivers.
Active production, but RoHS gap matters for some BOMs
A critical compliance detail: the part is RoHS non-compliant. Any BOM that requires full RoHS 2011/65/EU conformance — common for EU-market consumer goods or medical devices — cannot use this order code without a waiver. The non-compliant status typically means the leads are tin-lead (SnPb) plated, which is still preferred for high-reliability or military soldering profiles that avoid pure-tin whisker risk.
