DS90C401

Dual Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Driver

General Description

The DS90C401 is a dual driver device optimized for high

data rate and low power applications. This device along with

the DS90C402 provides a pair chip solution for a dual high

speed point-to-point interface. The DS90C401 is a current

mode driver allowing power dissipation to remain low even at

high frequency. In addition, the short circuit fault current is

also minimized. The device is in a 8 lead small outline

package. The differential driver outputs provides low EMI

with its low output swings typically 340 mV.
