11.1 Layout Guidelines

For optimum performance, use 50-Ω transmission lines (100-Ω differential) for connecting the high-speed inputs and outputs. The length of transmission lines must be kept as short as possible to reduce loss and pattern-dependent jitter. TI recommends maximizing the separation of the DOUT+ and DOUT– transmission lines from the DIN+ and DIN– transmission lines to minimize transmitter to receiver crosstalk.
