Hi team,
The customer saw the following requirements in the OUT+- layout of the competitor's SERDES. The customer wanted to know whether we have similar requirements.
“If coax is used route 100ohm differential traces for DOUT+/- signals between IC to AC coupling capacitors. Length match is also necessary for the trace between IC to AC coupling capacitors. Route 50-ohm traces for DOUT- signal between AC coupling capacitor and connector.”
