AWR2243: 4 cascade system without clock buffer

Part Number: AWR2243

Hi supporter;

TI suggests use clock buffer when there are more than 2 cascade in  swra574b.

what if we just use microstrip line or stripline and keep the equal length?

Is there any concern about  drive capability or any other reason?

  • Hi,

          The drive strength level requirement is listed in the datasheet. For 2 chip cascade you dont need a buffer as the OSC_CLK_OUT from primary device can be fed to the only secondary device, however, for more than 2 cascade device(s) topology if you can maintain the spec requirement then it should be OK.

    Regards
