DS280DF810: hw design

Part Number: DS280DF810

I have a question about HW design guides of DS280DF810.

1) When using 25Gbps 6port (2port non-connection), what is the total power consumption?

2) What should I do with connection processing for RXP / RXN pin that is not connected?

I look forward to your prompt reply.

Thank you.

    1. You may calculate the max power consumption for thermal analysis using the active power per channel and static power consumption max values from the product datasheet
      • Max total power consumption = (number of active channels)*Wchannel + Wstatic_total = 6*305mW + 1050mW = 2.88W
    2. Unused high speed I/) pins may be left floating or tied to ground. The channel registers routine below may be applied to disable unused retimer channels

    Thanks,

  • I am going to use 6 retimers for the board currently development.
    If it is 2.88W per part, total power is 17.28W when 6 parts are used under the same conditions.
    Power must be supplied using a switch device rather than an LDO due to its capacity.
    can I use the Voltage regulator(TPS543C20RVFR), which is a switch device, for the power of the retimer?

    i understand that there is no power constraint in the datasheet, is that correct?

  • Hi,

    For determining the max power consumption for voltage regulator selection the following calculation applies

    • Max total power consumption = (number of active channels)*Wchannel_CDR_locking + Wstatic_total = 6*430mW + 1050mW = 3.63W. This comes out to 1.45A per retimer assuming VDD=2.5V or 8.7A for six retimers
    • Related to TPS543C20RVFR
      • This regulator has max current of 40A, so it has more that sufficient capability to supply current to 6 retimers
      • Per the datasheet "Frequency - Switching 300kHz ~ 2MHz". For this range TI recommends that supply noise amplitude be within 20mVpp. As long as you can be around that target then I would not expect an issue

    Thanks,
