Applying TFI-5 and Understanding The Backplane Environment John D’Ambrosia Tyco Electronics
Agenda • TFI-5 • The Evolution of the Interconnect • Variability of the Backplane Environment • Example – Transmit De-Emphasis as a Solution • The Common Electrical Interface
TFI-5 • Point-to-point connection between a TDM framer and a TDM switch fabric device • 30 inches (76 cm) of total PCB trace including two connector • Support lane bandwidths of 2.488 Gb/s (3.11 Gb/s optional) • Support higher bandwidth across multiple lanes • Example – 4 TFI-5 Lanes OC-192 Traffic • Lane Deskew • Capable of checking for errors • Capable of bit error rate of 10E-12 for PCB
