PI90LV048AL LVDS Receiver Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PI90LV048AL is a 0/4 LVDS receiver IC manufactured by Diodes Incorporated in a 16-TSSOP surface mount package. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent and substitute parts for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The part operates at 500 Mbps data rate with 3V to 3.6V supply voltage and supports the full industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs, MAX9122EUE+ is the primary equivalent, offering identical electrical specifications (500 Mbps, -40°C to 85°C) with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part provides direct functional replacement with superior supply availability.

DS90LV048ATMTC/NOPB and SN65LVDS048APW/APWR are secondary equivalents with reduced data rate (400 Mbps) but maintain full industrial temperature range and active status. These parts are suitable for applications not requiring 500 Mbps performance.

SN65LVDS390PW, SN65LVDS390PWR, and SN65LVDT390PWR operate at 200 Mbps with full industrial temperature support and active status. These are appropriate for lower-speed LVDS applications.

SN75LVDS390PW, SN75LVDS390PWR, and SN75LVDT390PW operate at 200 Mbps with restricted temperature range (0°C to 70°C). These parts are suitable only for commercial temperature applications.

All substitute parts maintain the 16-TSSOP package, 3V to 3.6V supply voltage, and MSL-1 rating. All active substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements not met by the obsolete PI90LV048AL.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SN75LVDS390PW replace PI90LV048AL in all applications?

A: SN75LVDS390PW maintains package, voltage, and protocol compatibility but operates at 200 Mbps versus 500 Mbps and supports only 0°C to 70°C temperature range versus -40°C to 85°C. Use only in applications with lower data rate requirements and commercial temperature operation.

Q: What is the primary advantage of MAX9122EUE+ as a substitute?

A: MAX9122EUE+ provides identical 500 Mbps data rate and -40°C to 85°C operating range as the original PI90LV048AL, with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. It is the direct functional equivalent.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging options?

A: All substitute parts use the 16-TSSOP package. Packaging formats (Tube, Cut Tape & Digi-Reel) vary by part number. Verify packaging availability with your supplier for procurement requirements.

Q: Why do some substitutes have lower data rates?

A: SN65LVDS390, SN65LVDT390, SN75LVDS390, and SN75LVDT390 series are designed for lower-speed LVDS applications. These parts are electrically and mechanically compatible but operate at reduced bandwidth. Select based on actual system data rate requirements.

Q: Is RoHS compliance required for my application?

A: All active substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original PI90LV048AL is non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is a design requirement, select from the active substitute list. If legacy non-compliant parts are acceptable, the original PI90LV048AL remains available in limited inventory.

Q: Can I use SN65LVDS048APW in place of PI90LV048AL?

A: SN65LVDS048APW is compatible in package, voltage, and temperature range but operates at 400 Mbps versus 500 Mbps. Use only if your application does not require the full 500 Mbps bandwidth of the original part.
