The maximum cable length supported by the SN65LVDM176DR is 10 meters (33 feet) at a data rate of 1.5 Gbps, and 5 meters (16 feet) at a data rate of 2.97 Gbps.
To ensure signal integrity with the SN65LVDM176DR, use a differential pair for each lane, keep the traces as short as possible, and use a common mode choke or a ferrite bead to filter out common-mode noise.
The power consumption of the SN65LVDM176DR is typically 350 mW (1.8V, 200 mA) when operating at 1.5 Gbps, and 450 mW (1.8V, 250 mA) when operating at 2.97 Gbps.
The SN65LVDM176DR can be configured for different data rates by setting the RATE_SEL pins to select the desired data rate. The device also has an auto-negotiation feature that can be enabled to automatically detect the link partner's capabilities.
The operating temperature range of the SN65LVDM176DR is -40°C to 85°C.
