I am wondering if the DS90UR904Q deserializer can drive multiple loads or is it meant for single point to point wiring?
Currently we are deserializing data and sending it to multiple loads - one on the same board and one off board through a significant amount of trace length. I looked but didn't see a maximum load capacitance specified for the parallel output bus on the 904Q driver.
Has anyone tried this before? I ran simulations and found there were some nasty reflections causing the on board receiver to be non-monotonic and in danger of causing a functional problem.
