The maximum cable length supported by the SN65LBC176D is dependent on the specific application and the type of cable used. However, as a general guideline, the device can support cable lengths of up to 100 meters at a data rate of 100 Mbps.
To ensure signal integrity and minimize EMI, it is recommended to use a shielded cable, keep the cable away from noise sources, use a common mode choke, and follow proper PCB layout and grounding techniques.
The recommended termination scheme for the SN65LBC176D is a 100-ohm differential termination resistor at the receiving end of the cable, and a 50-ohm single-ended termination resistor at the transmitting end.
The SN65LBC176D has built-in hot swap and fault tolerance capabilities. It can detect and recover from faults, and it also has a hot swap detection circuit that can detect when a device is inserted or removed.
The power consumption of the SN65LBC176D is typically around 150 mW. To reduce power consumption, it is recommended to use the device's low-power mode, reduce the clock frequency, and use a lower voltage supply.
