Overview
The DS91C176TMA, produced by Texas Instruments, is a 100 MHz single-channel M-LVDS (Multipoint Low Voltage Differential Signaling) transceiver. This device is specifically designed for applications that utilize multipoint networks, such as clock distribution in ATCA (Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture) and uTCA (micro Telecommunications Computing Architecture) based systems. The DS91C176TMA operates within the M-LVDS standard (TIA/EIA-899), which is optimized for multidrop networks, offering controlled edge rates, tight input receiver thresholds, and increased drive strength.
