SN65LVP18DRFT datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN65LVP18DRFT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the SN65LVP18DRFT?
  The maximum operating frequency of the SN65LVP18DRFT is 100 MHz, but it can operate up to 200 MHz with reduced voltage swing.
• How do I ensure signal integrity with the SN65LVP18DRFT?
  To ensure signal integrity, use a transmission line with a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms, and terminate the line with a 50-ohm resistor to match the output impedance of the device.
• What is the recommended power-up sequence for the SN65LVP18DRFT?
  The recommended power-up sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by VREF, and then the input signals. This ensures that the device is properly biased and configured before signal transmission begins.
• Can I use the SN65LVP18DRFT with a 3.3V supply voltage?
  Yes, the SN65LVP18DRFT can operate with a 3.3V supply voltage, but the output voltage swing will be reduced. Consult the datasheet for specific voltage and current requirements.
• How do I handle EMI and RFI with the SN65LVP18DRFT?
  To minimize EMI and RFI, use a shielded cable, keep the transmission line as short as possible, and use a common-mode choke or ferrite bead to filter out high-frequency noise.
