SN65LVDT2：Can the SN65LVDT2DBVR be mounted on an FPC?

Hi,

Are you referring to a flexible printed circuit when you say FPC? 

If no - please could you clarify what you are asking for?

If yes - we don't have direct guidance on it - but there would be some concerns:

1. Bends and curves in the flexible board could change impedance of the line which could lead to impedance mismatch which can cause signal integrity issues. I assume if you are looking at flexible boards the main transmission line would be bent. Smooth bends wouldn't be as dramatic - but if there is any sharp kinks in the bends you could see degraded performance. 

2. The characteristic impedance of the line would still need to be 100 ohms differential and the signal traces still need to be referred to a ground line. That must be kept even if you switch to a flexible board or else you can create issues.

So while I don't want to say with absolute certainty you couldn't but there is risk associated and you would have to make very careful considerations during the design process to avoid potentially significant SI issues - but if the system is impedance matched and there isn't overstress on the driver (too strong of loading) it should be okay. 

Please let me know if FPC you are referring to is a flexible printed circuit and if not please if you could clarify that would be very helpful. 

Best,
