The SN65LVDS179DRG4: The 150 Mbps rating sets the maximum serial link speed.
A 100 nF ceramic bypass cap at each supply pin, placed within 2 mm of the pin, keeps the internal bias stable and the differential output swing within spec. The industrial temperature rating means the part must maintain lock and output levels across the full range, not just at 25°C.
The SN65LVDS179DR and SN65LVDS179DRG4 are functionally identical — same transceiver, same 150 Mbps data rate, same package. The 'G4' suffix indicates a lead-free (RoHS) finish variant in TI's ordering code system. The DRG4 version is the current mainstream offering.
Yes, the SN65LVDS179DRG4 is the direct lead-free successor to the SN65LVDS179D. Both are 8-SOIC, full-duplex LVDS transceivers with the same 150 Mbps rating and supply range. The DRG4 is the active, RoHS-compliant version.
