There are four main parameters that need to be considered when designing a GMSL system. Those are insertion loss, return loss, cross talk, and link margin.
Customers should do analysis and testing to make sure that whatever connector is chosen passes the channel specification. Fakra, HMTD, and HFM are some examples of connectors that are commonly used.
The channel for GMSL means all the components on the path from the serializers SIO pin(s) to the deserializer's SIO pin(s). That includes the cables, connectors, PCB traces and any other component touching…
Our GMSL2 Hardware Design Guide outlines a strong recommendation of +/-5%. However, this may be difficult to achieve or more expensive to manufacture. Ultimately, the GMSL Channel Specification is a requirement…
It is not applicable to have an eye mask for a GMSL system. Eye masks are only used on inputs which do not have equalization. This is because many equalizers (GMSL included) can handle a completely closed…
The link speed. GMSL2 is fixed at 6Gbps or 3Gbps while GMSL1 is proportional to the incoming data rate. All three examples have different channel specifications.
Excessive reflected energy from the serializer's transmitted signal reduces the ability of the serializers reverse channel receiver to recover data transmitted by the deserializer. The same is true at…
