A good PCB layout for the DS90C363BMT/NOPB involves keeping the input and output traces as short as possible, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the distance between the device and the connectors. It's also recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated power plane and a dedicated ground plane.
Proper termination for the DS90C363BMT/NOPB involves using a combination of series and parallel termination resistors to match the impedance of the transmission line. The datasheet provides guidelines for termination, but it's also recommended to consult with a signal integrity expert or use simulation tools to optimize the termination scheme.
The maximum cable length supported by the DS90C363BMT/NOPB depends on the specific application and the type of cable used. However, as a general rule, the device can support cable lengths of up to 10 meters at data rates of up to 1.5 Gbps. Longer cable lengths may be possible with the use of repeaters or active cables.
Troubleshooting issues with the DS90C363BMT/NOPB involves using a combination of tools and techniques, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal integrity analysis software. It's also recommended to consult the datasheet and application notes, as well as to contact Texas Instruments support for guidance.
The DS90C363BMT/NOPB is a commercial-grade device, but it can be used in harsh environments with proper design and testing. However, it's recommended to consult with Texas Instruments support and to perform thorough testing and validation to ensure the device meets the specific requirements of the application.
