Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's essential to follow good PCB design practices, such as using a solid ground plane, minimizing trace lengths, and using 50-ohm transmission lines for the high-speed signals.
To ensure signal integrity, use controlled impedance traces, add series termination resistors, and use a common mode filter to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). Additionally, use a signal integrity analysis tool to simulate and optimize the design.
The maximum cable length supported by the DS90UR241IVS/NOPB depends on the specific application and the type of cable used. As a general guideline, the device supports cable lengths up to 10 meters at 3.125 Gbps and up to 5 meters at 6.25 Gbps.
To troubleshoot issues with the DS90UR241IVS/NOPB, use a logic analyzer or an oscilloscope to capture and analyze the signals. Check the device's power supply, clock signals, and data transmission lines for any anomalies or errors. Consult the datasheet and application notes for troubleshooting guidelines.
Yes, the DS90UR241IVS/NOPB can be used in a multi-lane configuration to increase the aggregate bandwidth. However, it's essential to follow the device's specific guidelines for multi-lane operation, including lane alignment, clocking, and data transmission protocols.
