Hi,
We are planning to use the specific part DS100DF410 in one of our design.
1. It is used for upto 10G speed
2. It is used at an ambient temperature of 105C and the maximum mentioned is 85C in datasheet.
3. Using only 2 channels of the retimer instead of 4 channels available. (power consumption is expected to reduce by half - 360mW expected)
4. Calculated Tj is coming around 125C and the maximum allowable Tj as per datasheet is 150C.
Question : Can we proceed to use this part considering all the points mentioned above. Especially the maximum ambient temperature violation.
