Hi,
What are the trace lengths of RIN0~RIN3 of EVM?

Hello Lucy,
The trace lengths are roughly:
RIN0+ - 480.274mil
RIN1+ - 455.038mil
RIN2+ - 443.943mil
RIN3+ - 445.032mil
However, keep in mind that customers must design their high-speed transmission channel to be within the IL/RL loss limits defined in the datasheets. Loss depends on the layout and the PCB material used. Depending on these factors, customers may be more limited to use shorter PCB traces, depending on their PCB stack-up.

Hello Lucy,
The lengths listed above were the total sum of the RIN traces before and after the AC coupling capacitors.
The EVM board uses an FR-4 High Tg material

Hello Lucy,
Yes. I added the trace length from IC to AC Cap and the trace length from AC Cap to the connector.
