⚙️ Application Notes: Solving Real-World Design Challenges
1. PCB Layout Best PracticesPoor PCB design causes signal integrity issues. To avoid crosstalk:
Layer Stacking: Use 4-layer boards with dedicated ground planes.
Trace Length Matching: Keep differential pairs within ±5mm length tolerance.
Decoupling Capacitors : Place 100nF caps near VDD pins (Pins 12, 45, 89).
💬 Pro Tip:Marvell’s reference design recommends PI3DBS12212AXUAEX analog Switches for signal multiplexing in high-speed lanes (up to 12Gbps). YY-IC integrated circuit stocks these alongside 88E6390 chips for bundled solutions.
2. Driver Compatibility & Firmware TipsLinux Kernel Support: Use mvnetadrivers (v5.15+). Debug LINK DOWNerrors by checking PHY autonegotiation registers.
RTOS Integration: FreeRTOS requires manual ISR prioritization—set interrupt latency ≤2µs.
