PRODUCTION DATA
The DS90UB635-Q1 is designed to support the Power-over-Coax (PoC) method of powering remote sensor systems. With this method, the power is delivered over the same medium (a coaxial cable) used for high-speed digital video data, bidirectional control, and diagnostics data transmission. This method uses passive networks or filters that isolate the transmission line from the loading of the DC-DC regulator circuits and their connecting power traces on both sides of the link as shown in #SNLS47910566.
The PoC networks' impedance of ≥ 1 kΩ over a specific frequency band is recommended to isolate the transmission line from the loading of the regulator circuits. Higher PoC network impedance will contribute to favorable insertion loss and return loss characteristics in the high-speed channel. The lower limit of the frequency band is defined as ½ of the frequency of the back channel, fBC. The upper limit of the frequency band is the frequency of the forward high-speed channel, fFC. However, the main criteria that need to be met in the high-speed channel, which consists of a serializer PCB, a deserializer PCB, and a cable, are the insertion loss and return loss limits defined in the Total Channel Requirements(1) over the entire system, while the system is under maximum current load and extreme temperature conditions (2).
#SNLS47910566A shows an example PoC network suitable for a "4G" FPD-Link III consisting of DS90UB635-Q1 and DS90UB638-Q1 or DS90UB662-Q1 pair with the bidirectional channel operating at 50 Mbps (½ fBCC = 25 MHz) and the forward channel operating at 4.16 Gbps (fFC ≈ 2.1 GHz). Other PoC networks are possible and may be different on the serializer and the deserializer boards as long as the printed-circuit board return loss requirements listed in Table 8-2 are met.
Table 8-1 lists essential components for this particular PoC network. Note that the impedance characteristic of the ferrite beads deviates with the bias current. Therefore, keeping the current going through the network below 150 mA is recommended.

In addition to the selection of PoC network components, their placement and layout play a critical role as well.
The suggested characteristics for single-ended PCB traces (microstrips or striplines) for serializer or deserializer boards are listed in Table 8-2. The effects of the PoC networks must be accounted for when testing the traces for compliance to the suggested limits.

The VPOC fluctuations on the serializer side, caused by the transient current draw of the sensor, the DC resistance of cables, and PoC components, must be kept to a minimum as well. Increasing the VPOC voltage and adding extra decoupling capacitance (> 10 µF) help reduce the amplitude and slew rate of the VPOC fluctuations.
