A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the signal traces short and away from the power plane to minimize noise and crosstalk.
Use controlled impedance traces, add series termination resistors, and use a common mode filter to reduce EMI. Also, keep the clock signal traces short and away from the data signal traces.
The maximum cable length supported by the DS10CP152QMA/NOPB is 10 meters at 1 Gbps and 5 meters at 2.5 Gbps, assuming a good quality cable with minimal attenuation.
Use an oscilloscope to check the signal integrity, and a logic analyzer to verify the data transmission. Also, check the power supply voltage and decoupling capacitors to ensure proper power supply.
Yes, the DS10CP152QMA/NOPB can be used in a redundant or redundant/fail-safe configuration to ensure high availability and reliability in critical applications.
