Serializer for high-speed video and imaging links
The Texas Instruments SN65LVDS301ZXHR is a serializer that takes 24 parallel CMOS inputs and serializes them into three LVDS output pairs, achieving a total data rate of 1.755 Gbps. This part is built for applications like flat-panel display interfaces, camera modules, and high-speed data aggregation where you need to reduce the number of board traces between a parallel bus and a remote receiver.
Supply rail and signal-level fit
The 1.65 V to 1.95 V supply range means this serializer is designed for low-voltage core logic — typically 1.8 V systems. The CMOS input threshold tracks the supply, so a 1.8 V logic source drives it directly. If your system runs a 3.3 V parallel bus, you will need level translation on the 24 input lines before feeding them to the SN65LVDS301ZXHR. The LVDS outputs are standard 350 mV swing into a 100 Ω differential termination, compatible with any LVDS receiver on the other end of the cable or flex.
Package and board-level handling
Housed in an 80-NFBGA (5x5 mm) package, this is a fine-pitch BGA. The ball pitch and 5x5 array require a stencil, reflow oven, and preferably X-ray inspection to verify the joints.
This is a standard TI catalog part, available through the usual distribution channels. For BOM planning, the active status means no last-time-buy risk on the horizon.
