DS280DF810: DS280DF810- PRBS generator and FIR question

Part Number: DS280DF810

Hello sir,

I have two question need your help.

1. 

Did DS280DF810 can be generate prbs without rx input signal?

I cannot find any info on datasheet and programmer;s guide

2. 

In the FIR filter, the datasheet and the programmer ’s guide describe that "(+) main-cursor, (-) pre-cursor, and (-) post-cursor will create a high-pass filter effect. When the sign of the pre- or post-cursor is the same as thesign of the main-cursor, this creates a low-pass filter response" .

Do you have additional information or documents may explain this?

Thanks and  Best Regards

    1. The DS280DF810 requires input signal for CDR to lock to in order to be able to generate PRBS pattern
    2. Refer to section 2 of the TI 25G Tx link optimization application note, per link below

  • Hi Rodrigo,

    Thanks for your reply.

    But I still can't understand the FIR on high/low pass filter. in addition, I did not find similar information on the Internet. can you give me more description in this topical?

    Thanks and Best Regards

  • Equalization via FIR effectively applies de-emphasis via digital method.  The rising and falling edges of the waveform contain the high-frequency component of the signal while the low-frequency component resides in the non-transitions (or main cursor.) The FIR block acts as a high-pass filter when it boosts the high-frequency component by de-emphasizing the non-transition amplitude relative to amplitude right after the edge transition. The FIR block acts as a low pass filter when attenuating the high-frequency amplitude relative to the non-transition amplitude.

    I would suggest to read on FIR based equalization as well as analog de-emphasis. There is plenty of literature out there on these topics, from textbooks to papers and presentations prepared for high-speed communication industry committees and technical groups. 

  • Hi Rodrigo,

    Many thank.

    Thanks and Best Regards
