DS90UB947-Q1: Confirm the difference in wiring length between lanes of different ports

Part Number: DS90UB947-Q1

Hi team，

The customer currently uses the dual PORT inputs of 947. LVDS shares a set of clock inputs. I understand that D0- and D0+ must be of equal length.
On the same port, for example:
Within what error do the trace lengths of D0+D0- of Port0 and D1+D1- of Port0 need to be controlled?
Do the lanes between different ports need to be of equal length, for example:
Do the trace lengths of D0+D0- of Port0 and D7+D7- of Port1 need to be controlled to be the same length? If necessary, what is our error requirement for trace length?

    Hi Alan,

    The OLDI standard defines the max inter-pair skew between trace pairs. This is regardless of whether the traces are for Port 0 or Port 1. For inter-pair skew, the traces must be within 1 bit time (1 bit time = 1/7 * LVDS clock).

    Best,

    Hi Jack,

    Thanks for your help, but I still don't understand. Do Port0 (D0-D3) and Port1 (D4-D7) need to be of equal length? As shown below:

    Or do we just need to ensure that each pair of data lines is of equal length. Or the data lines in the same Port can be of equal length.

    Hi Alan,

    Each pair of data lines needs to ideally be of equal length. Port 0 (D0-D3) and Port 1 (D4-D7) are recommended to be length matched. The general recommendation for OLDI signals is inter-pair skew within 60ps. Using a general rule of thumb of 6 in/ns for signal propagation, that would mean a max recommended difference in length of 0.36 inches.

    What is the max difference in length between Port 0 and Port1?

    Best,

    Jack
