The DS90C401 is a dual driver device optimized for high data rate and low power applications. This device along with the DS90C402 provides a pair chip solution for a dual high speed point-to-point interface. The DS90C401 is a current mode driver allowing power dissipation to remain low even at high frequency. In addition, the short circuit fault current is also minimized. The device is in a 8 lead small outline package. The differential driver outputs provides low EMI with its low output swings typically 340 mV.
The DS90C401 is a dual current-mode driver device designed to operate at speeds above 155.5 Mbps with ultra-low power dissipation. It features standard TIA/EIA-644 compliance and utilizes an 8-lead SOIC package to save space on the PCB.
The device provides low differential output swings, typically 340 mV, which helps minimize EMI. It is intended for use in point-to-point configurations where it acts as a balanced current source, requiring a resistive termination (typically 100Ω) at the receiver end to convert the signal into a voltage detectable by the receiving circuit.
