Hi all, have just subscribed and would greatly appreciate your advice on the following. We are currently utilising a linescan camera to upload data in RS422 @ 20MHz to a host PC. I haven't alot of information on the interconnect cable except that its 32 pairs of twisted pair in a Shielded cable running a length of 15 metres. We are having ongoing problems with signal integrity, manifesting itself as crosstalk, resulting in noisy images being transferred. The camera is available with an LVDS option as well. Given the obvious speed advantages of LVDS, and low levels of transmission, are there any downsides to running LVDS over such a distance.We are endeavouring to re-layout the RS422 receiving(Host) end and adopt hight speed layout techniques which may be a source of a lot of our current problems, but am wondering if LVDS technology will improve things further -it will obviously tighten up propagation delays and allow a greater timing margin on the receiver side.
