SN65LVDS104PWR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum cable length supported by the SN65LVDS104PWR?
  The maximum cable length supported by the SN65LVDS104PWR is approximately 10 meters (33 feet) at a data rate of 655 Mbps. However, this length can vary depending on the specific application, cable quality, and noise environment.
• How do I terminate the differential pairs in the SN65LVDS104PWR?
  The SN65LVDS104PWR requires a 100-ohm differential termination resistor at the receiver end. The termination resistor should be placed as close to the receiver as possible to minimize reflections and ensure signal integrity.
• What is the power consumption of the SN65LVDS104PWR?
  The power consumption of the SN65LVDS104PWR depends on the operating frequency and output load. Typically, the device consumes around 150 mW at 3.3 V and 100 Mbps, but this can increase to around 300 mW at 3.3 V and 655 Mbps.
• Can I use the SN65LVDS104PWR for non-LVDS applications?
  While the SN65LVDS104PWR is designed for LVDS applications, it can be used for other differential signaling applications with some limitations. However, the device's performance and signal integrity may not be optimal for non-LVDS applications, and additional circuitry may be required to ensure compatibility.
• How do I ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with the SN65LVDS104PWR?
  To ensure EMC with the SN65LVDS104PWR, follow proper PCB layout and design guidelines, use shielding and grounding techniques, and consider adding electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters or common-mode chokes to the circuit.
