1:8 LVDS fan-out buffer — 400 Mbps per channel, 2.8 ns propagation delay
The Texas Instruments SN65LVDS108DBTRG4 is a 1:8 LVDS buffer/multiplexer that takes one differential LVDS input and fans it out to eight LVDS outputs. It is designed for high-speed clock and data distribution where signal integrity over short backplane or cable runs is critical — think base-station clock trees, test equipment trigger fan-out, or multi-channel ADC clock distribution. Each output channel supports a maximum data rate of 400 Mbps, and the part exhibits a typical propagation delay of 2.8 ns, which keeps skew low across the eight outputs. The input capacitance is 5 pF, so the upstream driver sees a light load.
38-TSSOP — narrow body, tight pitch
This is a surface-mount package, so the PCB layout must handle the fine pitch — typical pad dimensions and trace routing should follow the TI recommended land pattern in the datasheet. The Tape & Reel (TR) suffix indicates it ships on a reel for automated pick-and-place.
The base product number is 65LVDS108, and the "G4" suffix denotes a lead-free / RoHS-compliant finish.
