NRND — plan a replacement for production
It remains available for existing BOM lines through independent distribution, but TI advises against starting a new design with this order code.
400 Mbps per channel — signal-integrity budget
Each of the four drivers delivers a 400 Mbps data rate on a single differential pair. At this speed, the LVDS swing (typically 350 mV into a 100 Ω termination) keeps EMI low and edge rates clean over a few meters of twisted-pair or ribbon cable. For a 24-bit parallel RGB video link at 60 Hz, three DS90LV031 drivers plus a clock channel cover the data lanes; the fourth channel can carry sync or be left unused.
16-SOIC footprint — hand-solderable, rework-friendly
No thermal pad or exposed paddle — standard SOIC land pattern.
