LVDS transceiver for 200 Mbps point-to-point links
The DS91D176TMA/NOPB: It is designed for high-speed serial links where low noise and low power matter more than a full-duplex bus — think clock distribution, backplane interconnect, or a short-haul cable replacement. Rated for 200 Mbps, this part sits comfortably in the LVDS lane for point-to-point or multi-drop links up to a few metres. The supply range is 3V to 3.6V, which means a clean 3.3V rail is the natural fit — no 5V tolerance on the supply, and the logic inputs expect LVDS levels, not TTL.
Active production — no end-of-life notice on record
Texas Instruments has not issued a PCN or end-of-life notification for this order code as of the latest data. That means it is still a valid choice for new designs and production builds, with no forced migration timeline. The /NOPB suffix indicates lead-free (ROHS3 compliant) plating. The non-NOPB variant (DS91D176TMA) is the older tin-lead version — functionally identical but not RoHS-compliant. If your BOM requires RoHS, the /NOPB suffix is the one to order.
