The maximum cable length supported by the SN65LVDS108DBT 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.
While the SN65LVDS108DBT is designed for LVDS applications, it can be used for other high-speed differential signaling applications, such as PECL or CML, with proper termination and signal conditioning.
For optimal performance, the SN65LVDS108DBT should be terminated with a 100-ohm differential termination resistor at the receiver end. Additionally, the transmitter output should be AC-coupled to the transmission line.
The power consumption of the SN65LVDS108DBT is approximately 150 mW (typical) at a supply voltage of 3.3 V and a data rate of 1.5 Gbps.
The SN65LVDS108DBT is compatible with other LVDS transceivers that comply with the TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard. However, compatibility with specific devices should be verified through testing or consultation with the manufacturer.
