PRODUCTION DATA.
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.
The DS125DF111 is a 2 channel retimer that support many different data rates and application spaces.
Figure 9 shows a typical implementation for the DS125DF111 in a back plane application. The DS125DF111 can also be used for front port applications. The DS125DF111 supports data rates for CPRI, Infiniband, Ethernet, Interlaken and other custom data rates.
This section lists some critical areas for high speed printed circuit board design consideration and study.
To begin the design process determine the following:
Initialization Sequence: Channel Register Configurations repeated for all desired channels:
Testing for Receiver Jitter Tolerance based on SFF-8431 section D11.
The SFF-8431 specification combines deterministic, random, and periodic jitter components. The combination of these jitter components has been measured and calibrated to ensure adequate levels of individual jitter components and total jitter.
The SFF-8431 specification defines a transmit eye mask to ensure robust signal reception across the host - module interface.
