Hi Kato-san,

The DS280MB810 and DS280BR810 do not support PAM4 signaling.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael-san,

According to the datasheet, it seems that the DS280MB810 supports NRZ and PAM4. Is this incorrect information?

Best Regards,

Hi Toshiyuki-san,

Success using the DS280MB810 in a PAM4 application is highly dependent on the system PAM-4 receiver and training algorithm. This increases the risk associated with the application and is not recommended at this time.
