The maximum cable length depends on the specific application and the signal frequency. As a general rule, the maximum cable length for LVDS signals is around 10-15 meters. However, it's recommended to consult the TI application note 'LVDS Owner's Manual' (SLWC073) for more detailed information on cable length and signal integrity.
While the SN65LVDS93DGGG4 is designed for LVDS applications, it can be used for other differential signaling applications with some limitations. However, it's essential to ensure that the device is operated within its specified voltage and current ranges, and that the signal integrity and termination requirements are met.
Proper termination is critical for maintaining signal integrity in LVDS applications. The SN65LVDS93DGGG4 requires a 100-ohm differential termination resistor at the receiver end. Additionally, it's recommended to use a series termination resistor at the transmitter end to reduce reflections and improve signal quality.
The power consumption of the SN65LVDS93DGGG4 depends on the operating frequency, supply voltage, and output load. According to the datasheet, the typical power consumption is around 150 mW at 3.3 V and 100 MHz. However, it's recommended to consult the datasheet and perform power calculations based on the specific application requirements.
The SN65LVDS93DGGG4 is a standard LVDS transceiver that complies with the TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard. As such, it is compatible with other LVDS transceivers that also comply with this standard. However, it's essential to ensure that the specific application requirements, such as signal frequency, voltage, and termination, are compatible between devices.
