Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN65LVDM176
We are using the SN65LVDS180 device to drive a differential signal across a cable which is 50 feet long. The same device (SN65LVDS180) is used on both ends of the cable as the driver and the receiver. Some boards seem to work fine. Other boards exhibit strange behavior. One side of the differential pair does not switch properly but the other side does. The strange part is that it seems to follow the receiver and not the driver. Do you have any explanation for this behavior?
