# SN65MLVD3DRBR

**Texas Instruments** · LVDS ICs · VSON-8-EP(3x3)

SN65MLVD3DRBR from Texas Instruments, in a VSON-8-EP(3x3). 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 | VCC | power_in | Supply voltage with recommended operating range 3.0 V to 3.6 V and absolute maximum range -0.5 to 4 V. |
| 2 | RE | input | Receiver enable input, active low (enables receiver when low), input voltage range -0.5 to 4 V absolute maximum with VIH minimum of 2 V. |
| 3 | R | output | Data output from receiver with slew-rate controlled transitions, output voltage 0 V to 4 V absolute maximum, VOH minimum 2.4 V, VOL maximum 0.4 V. |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Circuit ground connection and return path for receiver current. |
| 5 | GND | power_in | Circuit ground connection and return path for receiver current. |
| 6 | A | input | Non-inverting M-LVDS differential input terminal, input voltage range -1.8 to 4 V absolute maximum with common-mode input voltage range -1 V to 3.4 V. |
| 7 | B | input | Inverting M-LVDS differential input terminal, input voltage range -1.8 to 4 V absolute maximum with common-mode input voltage range -1 V to 3.4 V. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Supply voltage with recommended operating range 3.0 V to 3.6 V and absolute maximum range -0.5 to 4 V. |
| 9 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `SN65MLVD3DRBR`
- Footprint: `Package_SON:VSON-8-1EP_3x3mm_P0.65mm_EP1.6x2.4mm`
- 3D model: VSON-8-EP(3x3), generated from the KiCad footprint (body from the F.Fab outline, terminals on the pads, 0.9 mm nominal VQFN height). Neither the vendor nor KiCad ships a 3D model for this package, so the dimensions are nominal, not the manufacturer's CAD (STEP)
- 3D model files: `sn65mlvd3drbr-etched.step` / `sn65mlvd3drbr-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `sn65mlvd3drbr.step` / `sn65mlvd3drbr.glb` are the bare package body.
