DS90UB948-Q1: eye diagram freq is wrong.

Part Number: DS90UB948-Q1

We use 941->948 in our project. 4 lanes input and Dual-Link output.

And input 445MHz DSICLK to 941 for 148MHz pclk. So we think the date freq is 148M * 24bps = 3.56GHz. And then one link freq should about 1.8GHz. But we find the freq is 2.4GHz.

Can you help us to analysis it? Why the data freq is wrong?

  • Hi Xinyu, 

    Would you mind sharing the following register values on the 941? 

    0x4F, 0x5D, 0x5E and 0x5F. 

    Best,

    Shu

  • addr: 0x4f data : 0x8c
    addr: 0x5d data : 0x6
    addr: 0x5e data : 0x44
    addr: 0x5f data : 0x96

  • Hi Xinyu, 

    I will review the registers and get back to you in 2-3 business days. 

    Best,

    Shu

  • Hi Xinyu, 

    Can you send the register dump for the 948 and show a picture of the set up? IE, where are you measuring and the connection to the scope. 

    Best,

    Shu

    This is our register dump of 941 and 948. The test point is DOUT like the picture.

  • anything update?

  • Hi Xinyu, 

    The FPD rate on a dual-link 94x device is actually calculated as (PCLK * 35) / 2. Since the 941 register read (0x5F = 0x96) of the PCLK is reading 150MHz the date rate for one link should be ~2.6G. 

    One thing to note is that the deserializer needs to be turned off or disconnected to see the forward channel and that should measure around 1.3GHz. 

    Best,

    Shu
