TDA4VEN-Q1: TDA4VEN-Q1 Inquiries

Part Number: TDA4VEN-Q1

Hello,

Regarding the TDA4VEN I have the following questions:

  1. USB3SS (USB1) Subsystem: For the TDA4VEN-Q1 USB3SS (USB1) subsystem, does Device/Peripheral mode support SuperSpeed (5 Gbps), or is Device mode limited to High Speed (480 Mbps)? The USB3SS capability list in the TRM appears to show SuperSpeed under Host only.
  2. Decoupling Caps: Where can decoupling cap recommendations for TDA4VEN power be found?
  3. OLDI (unused feature): If OLDI is not being used, what is the recommended pin connection for its power pin VDDA1P8_OLDI0? Should it be left unconnected?
  4. SERDES Block – REFCLK for PCIe only: Is the external SERDES REFCLK (REFCLK_P/N) required ONLY for PCIe? For a design with no PCIe, can these pins be left unused?
  5. SERDES Block – SGMII clocking: Can the SERDES CORE_REF_CLK be sourced from the internal MAIN_PLL2_HSDIV0 for SGMII, and does the internal reference meet SGMII jitter requirements without an external REFCLK?
  6. SERDES Block – USB3 clocking: Can the SERDES run USB3 from an internal reference, or does USB3 SuperSpeed require an external low-jitter REFCLK? If external is required, what frequency/jitter spec applies?
  7. SERDES Block – PCIe clock output: Can the SoC (as PCIe Root Port) source a PCIe clock output on SERDES REFCLK (REFCLK_P/N) for the endpoint device while meeting PCIe jitter spec?
  8. SERDES Block – Unused REFCLK termination: If REFCLK_P/N is left unused (internal clocking used instead), how should these pins be terminated?

Any and all help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
