SN65LVDS34DR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum cable length supported by the SN65LVDS34DR?
  The maximum cable length supported by the SN65LVDS34DR is approximately 10 meters (33 feet) at a data rate of 1.5 Gbps. However, this can vary depending on the specific application and cable quality.
• How do I terminate the differential pairs in the SN65LVDS34DR?
  The SN65LVDS34DR requires a 100-ohm differential termination resistor at the receiver end. This can be achieved using a 100-ohm resistor in series with a 0.01-uF capacitor to ground.
• What is the power consumption of the SN65LVDS34DR?
  The power consumption of the SN65LVDS34DR is approximately 135 mW at a supply voltage of 3.3 V and a data rate of 1.5 Gbps.
• Can I use the SN65LVDS34DR for non-LVDS applications?
  While the SN65LVDS34DR is designed for LVDS applications, it can be used for other differential signaling applications such as RS-422 or RS-485 with proper termination and signal conditioning.
• How do I handle skew and jitter in the SN65LVDS34DR?
  Skew and jitter can be minimized by using a high-quality clock source, ensuring proper termination, and using a low-jitter oscillator. Additionally, the SN65LVDS34DR has built-in skew compensation and jitter filtering to help mitigate these effects.
