Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's also recommended to follow the guidelines in the 'High-Speed PCB Layout Guidelines' application note (SLVA466) for optimal performance.
To ensure signal integrity, use controlled impedance traces, minimize trace lengths, and use termination resistors as recommended in the datasheet. Additionally, use simulation tools like IBIS-AMI models to simulate and optimize signal integrity.
The maximum cable length supported by the DS90CR288AMTDX/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 DS90CR288AMTDX/NOPB, use tools like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to analyze the signal waveforms and protocol activity. Also, refer to the 'Troubleshooting Guide' section in the datasheet and the 'DS90CR288A Troubleshooting Guide' application note (SLVA744).
The power consumption of the DS90CR288AMTDX/NOPB depends on the specific application and operating conditions. The datasheet provides typical power consumption values, but for more accurate estimates, use the 'Power Estimator' tool on the Texas Instruments website.
