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 DS90CR215MTD/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 a 3.3V supply voltage and 5 meters for a 1.8V supply voltage.
To troubleshoot issues with the DS90CR215MTD/NOPB, use a logic analyzer or oscilloscope to capture and analyze the signal waveforms. Check for signal integrity issues, incorrect termination, or incorrect clocking. Consult the datasheet and application notes for troubleshooting guidelines.
Yes, the DS90CR215MTD/NOPB can be used in a multi-lane configuration. However, it's essential to follow the guidelines in the datasheet and application notes for proper lane alignment, clocking, and signal routing.
