Low Power 10GbE Quad Channel Retimer
General Description
The DS100RT410/DS100DF410 is a four-channel 10GbE re-
timer with integrated signal conditioning. Both the
DS100RT410 and the DS100DF410 include an input Contin-
uous-Time Linear Equalizer (CTLE) on each channel. The
DS100DF410 also includes a five-tap Decision Feedback
Equalizer (DFE) on each channel.
The DS100DF410 can enhance the reach and robustness of
long, lossy, crosstalk-impaired high-speed serial links to
achieve BER < 1×10-15. For less demanding applications/in-
terconnects, the non-DFE variant DS100RT410 can be used
to achieve the same BER performance. The two devices are
pin-compatible.
Each channel of the DS100RT410/DS100DF410 indepen-
dently locks to 10GbE serial data at a data rate of 10.3125
Gbps or to 1GbE data at a data rate of 1.25 Gbps. A reference
clock is not required, which simplifies system design and low-
ers overall cost. Both devices support either data rate. A
protocol-select mode is available to speed up lock time.
Programmable transmit de-emphasis (up to -12 dB), transmit
VOD (up to 1300 mVp-p) and adaptive receive equalization (up
to 34 dB boost at 5 GHz) enable data transmission over lossy
copper cables of typical lengths greater than 10 m or back-
planes with multiple connectors and typical trace lengths
greater than 40 inches. The CDR function is ideal for use in
parallel optical modules to reset the jitter budget and retime
high-speed serial data.
The programmable settings can be applied easily using the
SMBus interface or they can be loaded via an external EEP-
ROM. An on-chip eye monitor and a PRBS generator allow
real-time measurement of high-speed serial data for system
bring-up or field tuning.
The device is offered in a 48-pin LLP, 7 mm x 7 mm flow-
through package.
