STMicroelectronics Launches QML-V Qualified LVDS Receiver

What happened

STMicroelectronics announced it has expanded its space-grade semiconductor portfolio with the RHFLVDS42, a QML-V-qualified quad low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) receiver for high-speed data links in aerospace and space systems. The device offers data rates up to 600 Mbps, operates from a supply voltage of 2.3V to 3.6V, complies with TIA/EIA-644 and relevant JEDEC requirements, and has an input common-mode voltage range from -4V to +5V with an absolute maximum voltage rating of 4.8V. For radiation performance, according to STMicroelectronics, it provides SEL-free operation at a LET of 122.6 MeV·cm²/mg and SET- and SEU-free performance at 61.3 MeV·cm²/mg, qualifies under the RHA QML-V framework for total ionizing doses up to 300 krad (Si), and provides 8kV ESD immunity. The device is manufactured at ST's Rennes facility in France using 130nm CMOS technology, which the company says it has used in space-related applications for more than a decade, carries an EAR99 export classification, supports an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, comes in a grounded-lid hermetic Flat-16 package, and a bare-die option is also available.
