The SN65LVPE512RGER is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) repeater and multiplexer designed for high-speed data transmission applications in various electronic systems. This IC provides several key features that enhance signal integrity and simplify data communication.
One of the primary functions of the SN65LVPE512RGER is to extend the maximum reach of LVDS signals by receiving, amplifying, and retransmitting them. It supports data rates up to 3.125 Gbps, making it suitable for demanding applications requiring high-speed data transmission. The IC operates with a power supply voltage ranging from 3.135V to 3.465V.
The SN65LVPE512RGER offers a flexible input configuration, supporting differential inputs with either AC-coupled or DC-coupled signals. This flexibility allows for compatibility with various signal sources, enabling seamless integration into different system designs. Moreover, it provides built-in impedance matching on the high-speed input pins, further enhancing signal integrity by minimizing reflections and signal distortions.
This IC features five receiver channels, each with an individual enable pin, which provides control over the specific channels that need to be activated. This selective enabling feature helps reduce power consumption, as unused receiver channels can be disabled. Additionally, each receiver channel includes input fail-safe circuitry, allowing for proper signal detection even when the input signal is in a floating state
