SN65LVDS108DBT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum cable length supported by the SN65LVDS108DBT?
  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.
• Can the SN65LVDS108DBT be used for non-LVDS applications?
  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.
• How do I terminate the SN65LVDS108DBT for optimal performance?
  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.
• What is the power consumption of the SN65LVDS108DBT?
  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.
• Is the SN65LVDS108DBT compatible with other LVDS transceivers?
  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.
