SN65LVDS307ZQCR datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN65LVDS307ZQCR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum cable length that can be used with the SN65LVDS307ZQCR?
  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 at 100 Mbps. However, it's recommended to consult the TI application note 'LVDS Owner's Manual' (SLMA002) for more detailed information on cable length and signal integrity.
• How do I terminate the LVDS outputs of the SN65LVDS307ZQCR?
  The LVDS outputs of the SN65LVDS307ZQCR should be terminated with a 100-ohm differential load to ensure proper signal integrity. This can be achieved using a 100-ohm resistor between the positive and negative outputs of each channel.
• Can I use the SN65LVDS307ZQCR with a 3.3V power supply?
  Yes, the SN65LVDS307ZQCR can operate with a 3.3V power supply. However, it's recommended to ensure that the power supply voltage is within the specified range of 3.0V to 3.6V to ensure proper device operation.
• What is the maximum data rate that the SN65LVDS307ZQCR can support?
  The SN65LVDS307ZQCR can support data rates up to 1.5 Gbps per channel. However, the actual data rate may be limited by the specific application, cable length, and signal integrity.
• How do I configure the SN65LVDS307ZQCR for point-to-point or multidrop applications?
  The SN65LVDS307ZQCR can be configured for point-to-point or multidrop applications by connecting the outputs of the device to the corresponding inputs of the receiving device(s). For multidrop applications, it's recommended to use a common clock signal and to ensure that the outputs of the device are properly terminated.
