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 at a frequency of 100 MHz. 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 SN75LVDS32PW is designed for LVDS applications, it can be used for other differential signaling applications such as RS-422 or RS-485. However, the device's performance and signal integrity may vary depending on the specific application and signal frequency.
Proper termination of LVDS signals is critical for signal integrity. The recommended termination scheme for the SN75LVDS32PW is 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 SN75LVDS32PW depends on the specific application and operating conditions. According to the datasheet, the typical power consumption is around 15 mA per channel at a supply voltage of 3.3 V. However, this value can vary depending on the signal frequency, output load, and other factors.
The SN75LVDS32PW is rated for operation up to 85°C. However, it's recommended to consult the TI datasheet and application notes for more detailed information on operating the device in high-temperature environments. Additionally, it's recommended to perform thermal analysis and testing to ensure the device's reliability and performance in the specific application.
