Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's also recommended to follow the guidelines in the 'DS90CR286A PCB Layout and Routing Guidelines' application note (SLVAUH5) for optimal performance.
To ensure signal integrity, it's essential to follow proper PCB design and layout practices, such as using differential pairs, minimizing trace length and impedance mismatches, and using termination resistors. Additionally, the device's built-in features like equalization and clock/data alignment can help improve signal integrity.
The maximum cable length supported by the DS90CR286AQMTX/NOPB depends on the specific application and the type of cable used. However, as a general guideline, the device can support cable lengths up to 10 meters at 3.125 Gbps and up to 5 meters at 6.25 Gbps.
The DS90CR286AQMTX/NOPB can be configured using the SPI interface or through the use of external resistors. The device's configuration depends on the specific application requirements, such as data rate, cable length, and signal conditioning. Refer to the datasheet and application notes for more information.
The power consumption of the DS90CR286AQMTX/NOPB depends on the specific application and operating conditions. However, the typical power consumption is around 250 mW at 3.3 V and 3.125 Gbps, and around 400 mW at 3.3 V and 6.25 Gbps.
