SN65LVDS109: SN65LVDS109

Part Number: SN65LVDS109

Hi,

I need to know what is its allowable difference between the A and B lines to not cause any problems, i.e. the tolerance between the A and B to the chip lines on the PCB editing, the chip is driving 40MHz clock.

Please advise.

 

Thanks

  • Hi,

    Can you elaborate more on your question? Are you asking about your design margin or layout specific? We are unclear about questions on the PCB editing.

  • Hi Yossi,

     

    I hope you’re asking about the maximum intra-pair skew (between P and N signals) that the SN65LVDS100 device can handle at its input. Please confirm.

     

    If the above is correct, then the device really doesn’t care about the intra-pair skew at its input (A and B pins) as long as the input voltage is within it input threshold limits. An input signal with intra-pair skew will result in an output signal also with an intra-pair skew. You should be concerned at the system level with a clock signal that has intra-pair skew since that can result in duty-cycle distortion and affect your timing. It will also give rise to a high common-mode voltage that is not good for EMI (electromagnetic interference).

     

    Best regards,

     

    Hassan.
