Broadcom recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and a microstrip transmission line with a 50-ohm impedance to minimize signal reflections and ensure optimal performance.
The AFBR-5701LZ requires a bias voltage of 3.3V ± 0.3V, and a bias current of 10mA to 30mA. Ensure that the bias circuitry is designed to provide a stable voltage and current to the device.
The AFBR-5701LZ is rated for operation from -40°C to 85°C, but it's recommended to operate within the -20°C to 70°C range for optimal performance and reliability.
Use a combination of visual inspection, signal integrity analysis, and debugging tools such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to identify and troubleshoot issues with the AFBR-5701LZ.
While the AFBR-5701LZ is designed for IEEE 802.3bt applications, it can be used in other applications with similar requirements. However, ensure that the device is operated within its specified parameters and that the application meets the necessary safety and regulatory requirements.
