SN65LVDS100DGK datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN65LVDS100DGK Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum cable length supported by the SN65LVDS100DGK?
  The maximum cable length supported by the SN65LVDS100DGK 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 ensure signal integrity with the SN65LVDS100DGK?
  To ensure signal integrity with the SN65LVDS100DGK, it is recommended to use a differential pair for the LVDS signals, keep the signal traces short and well-matched, and use a common-mode choke or ferrite bead to filter out electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Can I use the SN65LVDS100DGK for non-LVDS applications?
  While the SN65LVDS100DGK is designed for LVDS applications, it can be used for other differential signaling applications such as RS-422 or RS-485 with some modifications to the circuit design and component selection.
• How do I handle power sequencing with the SN65LVDS100DGK?
  To ensure proper operation, it is recommended to sequence the power supplies to the SN65LVDS100DGK such that the analog power supply (VCCA) is powered up before the digital power supply (VCCD).
• What is the recommended layout and routing for the SN65LVDS100DGK?
  For optimal performance, it is recommended to follow a star topology for the LVDS signals, keep the signal traces short and well-matched, and avoid crossing signal traces over each other or over power planes.
