Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's also recommended to follow the guidelines in the 'High-Speed Layout Guidelines' application note (SLVA626) for optimal performance.
To ensure signal integrity, use controlled impedance traces, minimize trace lengths, and use termination resistors as recommended in the datasheet. Also, consider using simulation tools like TI's IBIS model to simulate signal integrity.
The maximum cable length supported by the DS90CR288AMTD depends on the specific application and the type of cable used. As a general guideline, TI recommends keeping cable lengths under 10 meters for optimal performance.
To troubleshoot issues with the DS90CR288AMTD, use tools like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to analyze the signal quality and timing. Also, refer to the 'Troubleshooting Guide' section in the datasheet for common issues and solutions.
Yes, the DS90CR288AMTD can be used in a multi-lane configuration. However, it's essential to follow the guidelines in the datasheet for lane alignment, clocking, and signal routing to ensure proper operation.
