The maximum cable length depends on the specific application and the signal frequency. As a general rule, the maximum cable length for LVDS signals is around 10-15 meters. However, it's recommended to consult the TI application note 'LVDS Owner's Manual' (SLWC073) for more detailed information on cable length and signal integrity.
While the SN65LVDM22D is designed specifically for LVDS applications, it can be used for other differential signaling standards like RS-422 or RS-485 with some limitations. However, it's essential to consult the datasheet and application notes to ensure the device meets the specific requirements of the target application.
Proper termination is crucial for maintaining signal integrity in LVDS applications. The SN65LVDM22D datasheet recommends using a 100-ohm differential termination resistor at the receiving end of the cable. Additionally, it's essential to follow the guidelines outlined in the TI application note 'LVDS Owner's Manual' (SLWC073) for proper termination and signal routing.
The SN65LVDM22D is designed to support data rates up to 400 Mbps. However, the actual data rate may vary depending on the specific application, cable length, and signal quality. It's recommended to consult the datasheet and application notes for more detailed information on data rate and signal integrity.
The SN65LVDM22D is rated for operation up to 85°C (junction temperature). However, it's essential to consult the datasheet and application notes for more detailed information on thermal management and derating guidelines for high-temperature applications.
