SN65LVDM179DR

Texas Instruments · LVDS ICs · SOIC-8

SN65LVDM179DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-8. 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 Single 3.3-V supply pin; the driver is high impedance when VCC is below 1.5 V.
2 R output Receiver output: high for VID ≥ 50 mV, low for VID ≤ −50 mV, high when the inputs are open (open-circuit failsafe), and indeterminate between ±50 mV.
3 D input Driver input with LVTTL levels that are 5-V tolerant.
4 GND power_in Ground reference; the receiver tolerates up to 1 V of ground potential difference between transmitter and receiver.
5 Y output Non-inverting LVDS driver output; typical 340 mV across a 50-Ω load with a minimum differential magnitude of 247 mV.
6 Z output Inverting LVDS driver output; typical 340 mV across a 50-Ω load with a minimum differential magnitude of 247 mV.
7 B input Inverting receiver differential input; detects a differential voltage of 50 mV.
8 A input Non-inverting receiver differential input; detects a differential voltage of 50 mV.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: SN65LVDM179DR
  • Footprint: Package_SO:SOIC-8_3.9x4.9mm_P1.27mm
  • 3D model: SOIC-8 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: sn65lvdm179dr-etched.step / sn65lvdm179dr-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); sn65lvdm179dr.step / sn65lvdm179dr.glb are the bare package body.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:
