DP83867E: DP83867E and transceiver chip

Part Number: DP83867E

Hi,

I have a question regarding the bandwidth and filtering of the EVM and transceiver chip. I was wondering if the IC has a limited bandwidth or the EVM has any filtering on the board. I have a SGMII LVDS signal combined with a 2.5 GHz 180 mVpp sin wave. I was wondering what would happen if this signal goes straight to the EVM or IC without filtering the sin wave.

Thanks,

Shaun

  • Hi Shaun,

    There is only 0.1uF DC blocking caps on the SGMII lines.
    No additional filtering is on the board. I am not certain how the response will be for this.
    However, you could try adding an LPF with a cutoff beyond 625MHz to keep the SGMII LVDS signaling and attenuate that 2.5GHz sine wave.
