Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's also recommended to follow general high-speed PCB design guidelines, such as using a solid ground plane, minimizing trace lengths, and using differential pair routing.
To ensure signal integrity, use a controlled impedance PCB, minimize signal reflections, and use termination resistors as recommended in the datasheet. Additionally, use a signal integrity analysis tool to simulate and optimize the design.
The maximum cable length supported by the DS90CF364MTD/NOPB 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 FPD-Link III applications.
To troubleshoot issues with the DS90CF364MTD/NOPB, use a logic analyzer or oscilloscope to capture and analyze the signal waveforms. Check the power supply voltage, clock frequency, and signal integrity. Consult the datasheet and application notes for troubleshooting guidelines.
While the DS90CF364MTD/NOPB is optimized for FPD-Link III applications, it can be used in other high-speed serial interface applications with proper design and testing. However, Texas Instruments may not provide full support or guarantee compatibility in non-FPD-Link III applications.
