DS250DF230: frequency characteristic of CTLE

Part Number: DS250DF230

Hi:


I'm using DS250DF230  in the design at 10.3125 Gbps .

I want to  manually set the EQ value (i.e. no adaption mode).


The data sheet indicates that  combined equalization supporting 35-dB channel loss at 12.9 GHz.
Please tell me what the frequency characteristic of CTLE will be like at 5GHz.

  • Hi,

    For the highest DS250DF230 Rx CTLE setting the boost at 5GHz is around 7dB. The retimer Rx DFE may provide 5+ dB of additional boost. In addition the TX FIR taps can provide additional boost in the order of 8-10dB.

    Cordially,
