SN65LVP16DRFT datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN65LVP16DRFT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the SN65LVP16DRFT?
  The maximum operating frequency of the SN65LVP16DRFT is 100 MHz, but it can operate up to 200 MHz in certain applications with proper signal termination and layout.
• How do I ensure signal integrity with the SN65LVP16DRFT?
  To ensure signal integrity, use proper PCB layout techniques, such as using differential pairs, minimizing trace length, and using signal termination resistors. Additionally, follow the recommended layout guidelines in the datasheet and application notes.
• Can I use the SN65LVP16DRFT in a 3.3V system?
  Yes, the SN65LVP16DRFT is compatible with 3.3V systems, but it requires a 2.5V or 3.3V power supply. The device's VCC pin should be connected to the system's power supply, and the VREF pin should be connected to a 2.5V or 3.3V reference voltage.
• How do I handle hot swapping with the SN65LVP16DRFT?
  To handle hot swapping, use a hot-swap controller or a power sequencer to ensure that the power supply is stable before enabling the SN65LVP16DRFT. Additionally, use a pull-up or pull-down resistor on the enable pin to prevent unwanted switching during hot swap.
• What is the maximum cable length supported by the SN65LVP16DRFT?
  The maximum cable length supported by the SN65LVP16DRFT depends on the specific application and the type of cable used. As a general rule, the maximum cable length is around 10-15 meters for a 100 MHz signal. However, this can be extended up to 30 meters or more with proper signal conditioning and cable selection.
