Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's essential to follow good high-speed design practices, such as using a solid ground plane, minimizing trace lengths, and using 50-ohm transmission lines.
To ensure signal integrity, use controlled impedance traces, minimize vias and stubs, and use termination resistors as close to the device as possible. Also, consider using simulation tools to analyze signal integrity before prototyping.
The maximum cable length depends on the specific application and the type of cable used. As a general guideline, the DS90C365AMT/NOPB can support cable lengths up to 10 meters at 1 Gbps and 5 meters at 2 Gbps. However, it's essential to consult the datasheet and perform signal integrity analysis for specific applications.
To troubleshoot issues, start by verifying the power supply and clock signals. Use an oscilloscope to check signal integrity and verify that the device is receiving a valid clock signal. Consult the datasheet and application notes for specific troubleshooting guidelines.
Yes, the DS90C365AMT/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.
