Hi Team,
Is it possible to please provide a specific calculation to determine cable length for a given SERDES pair?
I tried to find this first in the datasheet, but could not find anything specific to calculate max cable length. I also found this app note (http://www.ti.com/lit/an/snla229/snla229.pdf), but Table 1 only provides attenuation allowance at the given frequencies, it does not provide a calculation that can be used for other SERDES pairs.
I also tried looking at Table 6 in the 948 datasheet, which provides a little more insight, but I would like to understand how the Nyquist Frequency relates to the channel attenuation. I think this should be relatively straight forward in a calculation.
Thank you for your support,
Jared
