Hi Team,
Does TUSB542 has requirement of routing length? I didn't see it in DS.

Hi Team,

Hi Kailun,
For layout guidelines and techniques, have a look at the following app note:
The TUSB542 can equalize up to 9dB.
Assuming fr4 material.the loss constant is approx. 0.2dB/inch/GHz. at 5Gbps we are at 2.5Ghz. So the loss is approx. .5dB per inch. Id say with the additional loses of connectors + via+ board jitter try to keep total trace length(pre-channel and post-channel) under 12in.
Thanks Vish,
Is that means the length should less than 12 inches from the host to the USB Connector?
Hi Kailun,
Yes end to end 12in is the absolute maximum in trace length.
pre-channel = from SoC to redriver
post-channel = from redriver to conn.
Its best to keep the redriver closer to the connector (id say 2/3 pre-channel 1/3 post channel)
Hi Kailun,
Apologies for the delay, here is the schematic review:
1) Is there any additional AC coupling on these paths? I see that this connects to the FPC connector, but I cannot see the path from the FPC to the MB.
2) I recommend having some filtering on the power to reduce power plane noise coupling: (recommendation 1x 10uF, and 1x 100nF)
3) Tri-level CFG pins all have PUP and PDWN options allowing for 0,F,1. OK
4) TX pins go through 100nF capacitor, to 220k PDOWN (no pop), to PESD5V0R1BSF, to connector. OK
RX pins go through 0ohm resistor, to 220k PDOWN (no pop), to PESD5V0R1BSF, to connector. OK
5) Sel will be controlled by a signal form the FPC conn. no need to connect to 1.8V
