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 a frequency of 100 MHz. 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 SN65LVDS32DRG4 is designed 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 that the device meets the specific requirements of the target application.
Proper termination is crucial for signal integrity in LVDS applications. The recommended termination scheme for the SN65LVDS32DRG4 is a 100-ohm differential termination resistor at the receiving end, along with a 50-ohm series resistor at the transmitting end. Consult the TI application note 'LVDS Owner's Manual' (SLWC073) for more detailed information on termination schemes.
The power consumption of the SN65LVDS32DRG4 depends on the operating frequency, supply voltage, and output load. According to the datasheet, the typical power consumption is around 150 mW at 3.3 V and 100 MHz. To reduce power consumption, consider using a lower supply voltage, reducing the operating frequency, or using the device's power-down mode when not in use.
The SN65LVDS32DRG4 is specified to operate from -40°C to 85°C. However, it's essential to consult the datasheet and reliability reports to ensure that the device meets the specific requirements of the target application, especially in high-temperature environments.
