**Texas Instruments** · LVDS ICs · SOIC-16

SN65LVDS051DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1B | input | Inverting differential (LVDS) input of channel 1; the differential input magnitude must be between 0.05 V and 0.6 V (|VID|) under recommended operating conditions. |
| 2 | 1A | input | Non-inverting differential (LVDS) input of channel 1; the differential input magnitude must be between 0.05 V and 0.6 V (|VID|) under recommended operating conditions. |
| 3 | 1R | output | LVTTL receiver output of channel 1. |
| 4 | 1DE | input | Driver 1 enable; per the family description, it disconnects the driver input and reduces quiescent power rather than placing the differential outputs in high impedance. |
| 5 | 2R | output | LVTTL receiver output of channel 2. |
| 6 | 2A | input | Non-inverting differential (LVDS) input of channel 2; the differential input magnitude must be between 0.05 V and 0.6 V (|VID|) under recommended operating conditions. |
| 7 | 2B | input | Inverting differential (LVDS) input of channel 2; the differential input magnitude must be between 0.05 V and 0.6 V (|VID|) under recommended operating conditions. |
| 8 | GND | power_in | Ground reference for the device. |
| 9 | 2D | input | LVTTL driver input of channel 2; VIH must be at least 2 V and VIL at most 0.8 V, and the input is 5-V tolerant. |
| 10 | 2Y | output | Non-inverting differential (LVDS) driver output of channel 2; driver output voltage is specified from 0 V to 2.4 V. |
| 11 | 2Z | output | Inverting differential (LVDS) driver output of channel 2; driver output voltage is specified from 0 V to 2.4 V. |
| 12 | 2DE | input | Driver 2 enable; per the family description, it disconnects the driver input and reduces quiescent power rather than placing the differential outputs in high impedance. |
| 13 | 1Z | output | Inverting differential (LVDS) driver output of channel 1; driver output voltage is specified from 0 V to 2.4 V. |
| 14 | 1Y | output | Non-inverting differential (LVDS) driver output of channel 1; driver output voltage is specified from 0 V to 2.4 V. |
| 15 | 1D | input | LVTTL driver input of channel 1; VIH must be at least 2 V and VIL at most 0.8 V, and the input is 5-V tolerant. |
| 16 | VCC | power_in | Supply voltage, 3 V minimum to 3.6 V maximum (3.3 V nominal); absolute maximum is 4 V. |
