Hello,
One of my customer is using this retimer for his front port optical application. The data baud rate is OC-192(9.95G) mainly. The device also needs to support STM1- 155.52 Mbps and STM4- 622 Mbps for which the CDR bypass mode is sufficient.
To put the device in CDR bypass,
0x09[5] = 1'b to over ride the setting
0x1E[7:5] = 000'b to set it to raw data.
Is there any other register write needed to ensure the raw mode? Does the VCO rate/subrate register need to be configured to the corresponding rate(STM-64 = 9.953G) to operate in bypass?
