Experiment with S-10 Transceiver IO Terminations

Hi, I am performing some experiment with S-10 SoC Dev kit (L-tile). I am using FMC loopback cards to check the behavior of SERDES so as to use for my final requirement. My goal is to connect a dev...

Hi HPB,

Thanks for your update. Glad to hear that by setting the slew rate to the highest is helping to improve the BER in your board setup. I understand that the existing impedance mismatch is due to the devkit trace impedance. Please note that in your final board implementation, it is still recommended ensure impedance matching with trace impedance and TX/RX OCT.

Thank you.
