Serializer identity and signal chain fit
The Texas Instruments SN65LVDS95DGGR is a 21-input, 3-output serializer that converts parallel LVDS data into a serial LVTTL stream at an aggregate data rate of 1.428 Gbps. It is designed for chip-to-chip or board-to-board serial links where reducing cable or trace count matters — typical in flat-panel display interfaces, camera modules, and high-speed backplane data transport.
1.428 Gbps data rate — what it buys you
At 1.428 Gbps aggregate throughput, this serializer can handle a 24-bit color plus control signals for a 1080p display at 60 Hz without compression. The 21:3 serialization ratio means you replace 21 parallel LVDS pairs with just three serial LVTTL traces, cutting board area and connector pin count. For a layout engineer, that translates to simpler routing and fewer vias on dense PCBs.
Supply and temperature — industrial-grade margin
Rated for 3V to 3.6V supply, the part runs comfortably from a nominal 3.3V rail with headroom for ripple. No AEC-Q100 rating here, so it is not qualified for automotive under-hood use.
Package and footprint — 48-TSSOP
Housed in a 48-TFSOP (0.240", 6.10mm width) package, also designated 48-TSSOP, this is a surface-mount part with a fine-pitch leadframe. The supplier device package is 48-TSSOP. The Tape & Reel (TR) packaging option suits automated pick-and-place assembly.
For the BOM cost engineer, this means no forced redesign or bridge-buy risk in the near term.
