DS250DF410: Decoupling Capacitors

We're getting ready to start our first card design using the 25G Ethernet retimer. I found three different decoupling solutions in TI's documentation. Which one do you recommend we use?

  • Hi,

    I would recommend using the solution shown in the EVM schematic.  I think there was likely a copy/paste issue with the footprints in the BRD file that are resulting in the inconsistent descriptions.  Our BOM file supports the EVM schematic file. 

    Thanks,
