Hello!
We are using the SN65MLVD203B in a design where we are using large quantities of this transceiver across multiple PCBAs that are each subject to different loading conditions. I am concerned about the variance in propagation delay for the transmitter (2ns to 3.5 ns) in addition to the variance in propagation delay for the receiver (2ns to 10 ns) as possibly making our data and clock timing not tenable across many different devices. I see that there is a callout for part to part skew being less than 1 ns when the devices are operating at the same temperature and voltage. I wanted to know:
- Is there more data showing the propagation delay as a function of the temperature and operating voltage? Understanding how much environmental conditions affect propagation delay would help us to design around our target data rates
- Is the variance in propagation delay reduced if the M-LVDS bus only includes SN65MLVD203B components, such that there are uniform transmitters and receivers on the bus?
