DS250DF410: Casecade 3 Retimer is workable?

Part Number: DS250DF410


Hi Sir,

My customer is asking if they can cascade 3 Retimer in one path, is it workable?

Did you cascade Retimer in real case before? how many pcs Retimer are you cascade,

Please help to advice.

Thanks

  • Hi,

    Though three cascaded retimers is not a configuration TI has actively validated, I would not expect an issue with it. My two suggestions would be:

    • Ensure the minimum insertion loss in between retimer channels is at least 4dB
    • Do not apply retimer Tx FIR post-cursor. FIR pre-cursor is ok

    Cordially,
