Figure 57: Layout for a Single GT-64260A to Multiple CPUs
The placement for multi-GT mode depends on the number of GT-64260A devices and interfaces used on each one
of them.
Depending on the system configuration and timing simulation, parallel termination on the bi-directional signals can
be placed near the CPUs or the GT-64260As.
14.5.2 Routing
The CPU interface traces must be 55 to 65 Ohm impedance.
The CPU and GT-64260A clocks (see section
Section 19. "Clocks" on page 143
) must be routed on separate lay-
ers from the other signals.
The point-to-multipoint topology signals must be routed in a "V" or "T" shape.
