DS15BA101 is a high-performance differential buffer from National Semiconductor. It supports data rates up to 1.5 Gbps, supports differential and single-ended inputs, and has adjustable output voltage. It is powered by a single 3.3V supply and operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It is available in a 3x3 mm LLP-8 package.
The DS15BA101 is a high‑speed differential buffer designed for cable driving, level translation, signal buffering, and signal repeating. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply, consumes about 150 mW (typ) at 1.5 Gbps, and supports data rates from DC to over 1.5 Gbps. Output voltage amplitude is set with a single external resistor, allowing level translation for 50‑Ω single‑ended or 100‑Ω differential loads.
The device is specified for an industrial temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C and is offered in a compact 3 × 3 mm LLP‑8 package. It features differential or single‑ended inputs, current‑mode outputs, and can be used in LVDS, LVPECL, or CML applications, as well as in cable‑extender configurations with the companion DS15EA101 serializer/deserializer.
