DS90UB913Q-Q1: For this SERDES chip (DS90UB914Q-Q1) , what is an appropriate connector part number for STP cable?

Part Number: DS90UB913Q-Q1

Can I get away with a standard mini-fit type molex connector, or do I need a more specialized connector for Shielded Twisted Pair?

(My PCLK from Camera will be around 15 MHz )

Also do I need a special microstrip on my PCB board to route the traces to the serializer and deserializer cihps.
What is the maximum length of the traces on my PCB?

Is there a TI app note to help with this?

  • Hi Craig,

    Please refer to this app note: www.ti.com/.../snla002.pdf

    Although it deals with an older FPD-Link device most of the layout guidelines are still very relevant and useful.

    I doubt you can use the mini-fit molex connector and keeping the the traces to a minimum will be ideal. There is no maximum limit, it's all going to depend on everything else in the system/ design.

    Regards,
