    Thread Summary
    
                The user inquired about using the AD9084 with a JESD controller that supports 32 lanes (16Rx/16Tx). The AD9084 supports up to 24 lanes (12Tx/12Rx per side) and can be configured as single or dual links. Unused pins should be powered down by firmware and can be left floating.

    I'm currently working on an AFE hardware design using the AD9084, the JESD controller being used can provide 32 lanes (16Rx/16Tx). Can the AD9084 support this? If so, are there specific pins that should be used and any care to be taken to unused pins?
    

    Thanks.

      The AD9084 supports a total of 24 transmit lanes and 24 receive lanes. It has two sides, with each side supporting up to 12 TX and 12 RX lanes. Each side can be configured either as a single link with 12 lanes or as dual links with 6 lanes per link. Whether this configuration works, and which pins need to be used, depends on the specific use case. Please refer to the user guide for more details. The unused pins must be powered down by firmware, so I think it is OK to leave them floating.
