Hi all,
I am designing a 100Mb LVDS (EtherCAT) application for the first time, and I'm worried about terminating the signals properly on the PCB. The differential lines are coming in from a twinax cable, through a USB connector, and to the receiver chip.
Obviously I would like to make sure there are no impedance changes causing reflections, but how is this possible when I have to route a connector with one pitch to an IC of another pitch, via a resistor with another pitch?
Many thanks
