Nine-channel LVDS transceiver for backplane and cable links
The DS92LV090ATVEH/NOPB is a half-duplex LVDS transceiver from Texas Instruments that integrates nine drivers and nine receivers in a single 64-TQFP package. It handles data rates up to 100 Mbps per channel, making it a fit for parallel backplane buses, cable interconnects, and clock distribution links where low noise and low power are priorities. That covers most factory-floor and outdoor telecom enclosures without needing a wider-range military-grade device.
Data rate and channel count — sizing the bus throughput
With nine differential pairs each capable of 100 Mbps, the aggregate throughput across the bus is 900 Mbps. The half-duplex architecture means each pair carries bidirectional traffic one direction at a time; the driver/receiver count of 9/9 gives a full 9-bit parallel bus with no external direction muxing. The 100 Mbps per-channel rate is well matched to LVDS backplane designs running at 50–80 MHz parallel clocks; the skew between channels stays within the timing budget for a 9-bit word on a single edge. For faster serial links, a higher-rate LVDS part would be needed.
Package and footprint — what hits the pick-and-place
The 64-TQFP (10x10 mm) package has a 0.5 mm pitch. That pitch is standard for this density; the exposed pad is not present, so the thermal path is through the leads alone. If your pick-and-place feeder expects embossed tape, plan for a tray-to-tape transfer or order the tape-and-reel variant (check TI's ordering options).
Active production — no obsolescence watch needed
ROHS3 compliance is confirmed, so it passes the EU RoHS exemption regime without a separate waiver.
