DP83867IR: SGMII signal extention

Part Number: DP83867IR
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS25BR110

customer is considering Retimer/redriver for SGMII interface because SGMII traces might be >30". Is the  DS25BR110 good to support the SGMII traces ?If yes, Do they need install AC coupling capacitor (like 0.1uF) in DS25BR110 input and output paths? 

  • Hi Peter,
    Many of our redrivers will work for SGMII applications. The DS25BR110 is a good choice. It is an equalizer, so it should be placed within 10" of the SGMII receiver. Since the DS25BR110 is a LVDS device it should not require AC coupling capacitors.
