Active production — no BOM risk for new builds
The SN65LVDS31PW: It is ROHS3 compliant, so no exemption-based restrictions apply to the solder finish.
400 Mbps LVDS driver — pure transmit path
This is a 4-channel LVDS driver with no integrated receiver — the 4/0 count means it handles the transmit side only, pairing with a separate LVDS receiver on the other end of the differential pair. Rated for 400 Mbps per channel, the driver supports serial links up to that data rate. Industrial temperature grade (-40 to 85 °C) covers factory-floor and outdoor equipment without the cost premium of a full automotive-grade part.
16-TSSOP — 4.4 mm body, fine-pitch footprint
The 0.65 mm pin pitch requires standard PCB fabrication — no via-in-pad or microvia needed for fan-out. Supplied in tube format; the base product number 65LVDS31 covers the family, so the PW suffix identifies this specific TSSOP variant.
