The maximum cable length supported by the SN75179BPSR is dependent on the specific application and the type of cable used. However, as a general guideline, the device can support cable lengths of up to 100 meters (328 feet) at a data rate of 100 Mbps.
To ensure signal integrity and minimize EMI, it is recommended to use a shielded cable, keep the cable away from noise sources, use a common-mode choke, and follow proper PCB layout and grounding techniques.
The power consumption of the SN75179BPSR is typically around 150 mA. To reduce power consumption, consider using a lower supply voltage, reducing the clock frequency, and using the device's power-down mode when not in use.
To troubleshoot issues with the SN75179BPSR, start by checking the power supply, clock signal, and data transmission lines. Use an oscilloscope to verify signal integrity and check for noise or distortion. Also, review the device's datasheet and application notes for guidance on troubleshooting common issues.
Yes, the SN75179BPSR can be used in a redundant or fault-tolerant system. The device's built-in features, such as automatic polarity detection and correction, make it suitable for use in high-reliability applications.
