Dear TI,
I have two questions.
1. What is the recommended inductor or ferrite bead spec on page 22, Figure 21, used at the outputs OUT+ and OUT- pins? My circuit is very similar to the application circuit on page 22. Do these inductors/beads affect much on the instantaneous DC level of the outputs? I observed charging-up on low-output bit and discharging-down on high-output bit of the waveform at OUT+ for 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps. The impact of the 10Gbps is smaller as the bit period is shorter which leads to smaller discharging/charging. The changes of of the DC blocking capacitor value (1/10 and x10) does not change the outcome of the waveform. Any idea why this is happening?
2. In addition, this part is rated from 1Gbps to 10Gbps. Any tricks we can do on the register configuration or the supporting circuits to make the part run at lower data rates? Why this part is only rated down to 1 Gbps?
Thanks!
