8 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

The DS110RT410 is a 4-channel retimer that supports many different data rates and application spaces.

The following sections describe the typical use cases and common implementation practices.

8.2 Typical Application

Figure 6 shows a typical system implementation, where the DS110RT410 is used both on the backplane and port side.

8.2.1 Design Requirements

This section lists some critical areas for high speed printed circuit board design consideration and study.

  • Use 100-Ω differential impedance traces.
  • Back-drill connector vias and signal vias to minimize stub length.
  • Use reference plane vias to ensure a low inductance path for the return current.
  • Place AC-coupling capacitors for the transmitter links near the receiver for that channel.
  • The maximum body size for AC-coupling capacitors is 0402.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

To begin the design process:

  • Determine the maximum power draw for PCB regulator selection. For this calculation, use the maximum transient power supply current specified in the data sheet. The lock time for each channel is typically very short, so this power calculation should not be used for the thermal simulations of the PCB.
  • Determine the maximum operational power for thermal calculations. For this calculation, use the Average Power Consumption value in Electrical Characteristics.
  • Select a reference clock frequency and routing scheme.
  • Plan out channel connectivity. Be sure to note any desired polarity inversion routing in the board schematics.
  • Ensure that each device has a unique SMBus address if the control bus is shared with other devices or components.
  • Use the IBIS-AMI model for simple channel simulations before PCB layout is complete.

8.2.3 Application Curves

Figure 7 shows a typical output eye diagram for the DS110RT410 operating at 10.3125 Gbps with default VOD of 600 mVp-p and de-emphasis setting of –2 dB.

Figure 8 shows an example of TX de-emphasis for a DS110RT410 operating at 10.3125 Gbps. In this example, the high speed output is configured for 600 mVp-p VOD and de-emphasis is set to –4.5 dB. An 8T pattern is used to evaluate the driver, which consists of 0xFF00.
