Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the DS90C363MTD/NOPB evaluation module documentation, which includes guidelines for trace routing, component placement, and power supply decoupling. Following this layout can help minimize signal integrity issues and ensure optimal performance.
The DS90C363MTD/NOPB is a highly configurable device, and the configuration depends on the specific application. Texas Instruments provides a software development kit (SDK) that includes a graphical user interface (GUI) tool, which allows users to configure the device for their specific application. The SDK also includes example code and documentation to help with the configuration process.
The maximum cable length supported by the DS90C363MTD/NOPB depends on the specific application and the type of cable used. In general, the device supports cable lengths up to 10 meters at a data rate of 1.5 Gbps. However, signal integrity can be affected by cable length, and users should follow Texas Instruments' guidelines for cable selection and routing to minimize signal degradation.
The DS90C363MTD/NOPB has built-in clock skew compensation and jitter filtering capabilities. However, users should follow Texas Instruments' recommended clocking schemes, such as using a common clock source for the transmitter and receiver, and using a clock frequency that is a multiple of the data rate. Additionally, users should ensure that the clock signal is clean and stable to minimize jitter and skew.
The power consumption and thermal characteristics of the DS90C363MTD/NOPB depend on the specific application and operating conditions. Texas Instruments provides power consumption and thermal data in the datasheet, and users can optimize power consumption by using power-saving features, such as dynamic voltage scaling and clock gating. Additionally, users should follow proper thermal design practices, such as using a heat sink and ensuring good airflow, to minimize thermal issues.
