SN65MLVD202DR LVDS Transceiver Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SN65MLVD202DR is a full-duplex LVDS transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for multipoint low-voltage differential signaling applications. This interface IC operates at 100 Mbps data rate with a 1/1 driver/receiver configuration in a 14-SOIC surface mount package. The part is classified as "Not For New Designs," making identification of active equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status where available.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SN65MLVD202DR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Protocol and signaling standard: LVDS, Multipoint
• Driver/Receiver configuration: 1/1 full-duplex
• Data rate: 100 Mbps
• Supply voltage range: 3V ~ 3.6V
• Receiver hysteresis: 25 mV
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Package type: 14-SOIC with identical physical dimensions (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: SN65MLVD202ADR and SN65MLVD205ADR. Both maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. The primary distinction is product status: SN65MLVD202ADR and SN65MLVD205ADR are classified as Active, whereas the original SN65MLVD202DR is Not For New Designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SN65MLVD202ADR and SN65MLVD205ADR are direct parametric equivalents to SN65MLVD202DR. Selection between these substitutes should be based on product status and supply chain availability:

SN65MLVD202ADR maintains the identical base product number (65MLVD202) and is classified as Active, providing continuity with the original design while offering ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

SN65MLVD205ADR uses an alternative base product number (65MLVD205) but is also classified as Active. This part offers higher inventory availability (11,694 pcs in stock versus 2,428 pcs for SN65MLVD202ADR) and maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution.

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for current production environments. Packaging availability differs: SN65MLVD202ADR packaging is not specified, while SN65MLVD205ADR is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SN65MLVD202ADR and SN65MLVD205ADR be used interchangeably with SN65MLVD202DR?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications (100 Mbps data rate, 1/1 driver/receiver configuration, 25 mV receiver hysteresis, 3V ~ 3.6V supply voltage, -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature) and mechanical compatibility (14-SOIC package, 0.154" width, 3.90mm). Pin-to-pin compatibility is maintained across all three parts.

Q: What is the difference between SN65MLVD202ADR and SN65MLVD205ADR?

A: The primary difference is the base product number: SN65MLVD202ADR uses 65MLVD202, while SN65MLVD205ADR uses 65MLVD205. Both are Active products with identical electrical performance and package specifications. SN65MLVD205ADR has significantly higher inventory availability (11,694 pcs versus 2,428 pcs) and is available in Tape & Reel packaging.

Q: Why is the original SN65MLVD202DR marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This classification indicates the part is in mature or end-of-life status from the manufacturer. Active alternatives (SN65MLVD202ADR and SN65MLVD205ADR) are recommended for new designs and ongoing production to ensure long-term supply chain stability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry identical MSL ratings (1 - Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent across all substitutes.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: SN65MLVD202DR is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. SN65MLVD205ADR is also available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. SN65MLVD202ADR packaging format is not specified in available documentation.
