DS50EV401 2.5 Gbps / 5.0 Gbps or 8.0 Gbps Quad Cable and Backplane Equalizer
DS50EV401
June 8, 2010
2.5 Gbps / 5.0 Gbps or 8.0 Gbps Quad Cable and Backplane Equalizer
General Description
The DS50EV401 is a low power, programmable equalizer specifically designed to reduce inter-symbol interference (ISI) induced by a variety of interconnect media. In all modes, the equalizer can operate, error free, with an input eye that is completely closed by interconnect ISI. The MODE control, allows the user to select between equalization settings for 8.0 Gbps operation or 2.5 Gbps / 5.0 Gbps operation.
The DS50EV401 uses Current-mode logic (CML) on both input and output ports, which provide constant 50 ohm singleended impedance to AC ground.
