Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's essential to follow good high-speed design practices, such as using a solid ground plane, minimizing trace lengths, and using 50-ohm transmission lines.
To ensure signal integrity, use a well-designed PCB with controlled impedance, minimize signal reflections, and use termination resistors as recommended in the datasheet. Additionally, use a signal integrity analysis tool to simulate and optimize your design.
The maximum cable length supported by the DS90C363BMT depends on the specific application and the type of cable used. As a general guideline, the datasheet recommends a maximum cable length of 10 meters for a 24-bit bus and 5 meters for a 48-bit bus.
To troubleshoot issues with the DS90C363BMT, use a logic analyzer or oscilloscope to capture and analyze the signal waveforms. Check for signal integrity issues, incorrect termination, or incorrect clock settings. Consult the datasheet and application notes for troubleshooting guidelines.
Yes, the DS90C363BMT can be used in a multi-drop configuration, but it requires careful design and layout consideration to ensure signal integrity and minimize signal reflections. Consult the datasheet and application notes for guidelines on multi-drop configuration.
