TS2PCIE2212ZAHRG1 datasheet by Texas Instruments

TS2PCIE2212ZAHRG1 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's also recommended to follow the PCIe specification guidelines for PCB layout. Additionally, using a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane can help reduce noise and improve signal integrity.
• How do I ensure signal integrity with this device?
  To ensure signal integrity, it's essential to follow proper PCB design and layout guidelines, use high-quality components, and implement proper termination and filtering. Additionally, using a signal integrity analysis tool can help identify potential issues before prototyping.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for this device?
  The TS2PCIE2212ZAHRG1 has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, but it's essential to consider the junction temperature (TJ) which is specified as 150°C. It's recommended to ensure the device is operated within the specified temperature range to ensure reliability and performance.
• How do I handle power sequencing and voltage regulation for this device?
  The TS2PCIE2212ZAHRG1 requires a 3.3V power supply, and it's recommended to use a low-dropout regulator (LDO) to ensure a stable voltage supply. Power sequencing should be handled according to the PCIe specification, with the 3.3V power supply being applied before the PCIe clock signal.
• What is the recommended clocking scheme for this device?
  The TS2PCIE2212ZAHRG1 uses a 100MHz clock signal, and it's recommended to use a clock generator that meets the PCIe specification. A clock generator with a low jitter and phase noise is essential to ensure reliable data transmission.
