Hi TI,
The datasheet states that the data source must be between 10 and 66MHz.
"The serializer transmits serialized data and appended clock bits (10+2 bits) from the serial data output (DO±) at 12 times the TCLK frequency. For example, if TCLK is 66 MHz, the serial rate is 66 × 12 = 792 Mbps. Because only 10 bits are input data, the useful data rate is 10 times the TCLK frequency. For instance, if TCLK = 66 MHz, the useful data rate is 66 × 10 = 660 Mbps. The data source, which provides TCLK, must be in the range of 10 MHz to 66 MHz."
If I am only using two of the bits and leaving the others floating, is this going to change my rate? I am using a 50MHz clock and expecting to see at least .5Gbps. Is this accurate?
Additionally, can I leave the input pins floating or do I need to tie them to a known state?
Regards,
Aaron
