DS100DF410: Request connector feasibility analysis for the re-timer

Part Number: DS100DF410

Hello,

My customer is using the DS100DF410 re-timer devices with connector as shown below.

They want to change the connector they were using to the following connector because of delivery issue.

S-Parameters Report.pptx

Please review whether there are any problems using the above connector.

Thank you.

  • Hi JH,

    Do you have S-Parameters of your previous connector that we could compare to?

    I would recommend running IBIS-AMI simulations of the channel to gain a better understanding of performance.

    Thanks,

  • We do not have previous S-Parameter data. Previously, the simulation was done by a TI dealer.

  • Would you be able to at least share the s-parameters of your newest connector that you are considering with us? TI could then run some quick simulations with them. What I can comment from the s-parameters report that you shared is that the return loss performance of the connector looks a bit marginal. Simulation would help us assess to what extent we actually have a problem if using this connector as part of the retimer electrical channel.

    Thanks,
