TLK2711EVM-CVAL: TLK2711EVM schematics clarifications

Part Number: TLK2711EVM-CVAL
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLK2711-SP

I am designing a SerDes interface using TLK2711-SP and referring to this EVK schematic: /cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/138/5775.HREL002A_5F00_SCH.pdf

  1. Is it recommended to have 10K pull up on all TXD lines?
  2. Are any series resistors recommended on any pins?
  3. 0.01uF caps near serial data connectors, what if no dedicated connectors are used for each data line. Can those caps be omitted or is it recommended on VDDA1 line
  4. Is filter recommended (VDD --> VDDA1) irrespective of the power source?
  5. Are external pull-up and pull-down recommended? Datasheet mentions internal 10K pulls on ENABLE, LCKREFN, LOOPEN, PRE, PRBSEN, TKLSB, TKMSB, TESTEN

Awaiting your response

  • Hi Jayshree:

    Is it recommended to have 10K pull up on all TXD lines?

    If TXD is not used, it's better to pullup or pulldown TXD pin. 

    Are any series resistors recommended on any pins?

     no series resistors recommended on any pins.

    0.01uF caps near serial data connectors, what if no dedicated connectors are used for each data line. Can those caps be omitted or is it recommended

    C25 is needed no matter with connector or not, C38 is not needed if without connector.

    Is filter recommended (VDD --> VDDA1) irrespective of the power source?

      yes

    Are external pull-up and pull-down recommended? Datasheet mentions internal 10K pulls on ENABLE, LCKREFN, LOOPEN, PRE, PRBSEN, TKLSB, TKMSB

    not all these pins has internal pullup, ENABLE  and LCKREFN pins have internal pulldown resistors.

    Best

  • Thanks Brian.

    Also, Enable and Lockrefn have internal pull-up right?

    not all these pins has internal pullup, ENABLE  and LCKREFN pins have internal pulldown resistors.

       

    So, should I add

    external 4.7K pull-up resistors for ENABLE, LOCKREFN

    external 10K pull-down resistors for LOOPEN, PRE, PRBSEN, TKLSB, TKMSB

  • Sorry, my mistake, there is no need to add external resistors for 

    external 4.7K pull-up resistors for ENABLE, LOCKREFN

    external 10K pull-down resistors for LOOPEN, PRE, PRBSEN, TKLSB, TKMSB.

    Regards
