3 Description
The DS250DF210 device is a two-channel, multi-rate
retimer with integrated signal conditioning. It is used
to extend the reach and robustness of long, lossy,
crosstalk-impaired, high-speed serial links while
achieving a bit error rate (BER) of 10-15 or less.
Each channel of the DS250DF210 independently
locks to serial data rates in a continuous range from
20.6 Gbps to 25.8 Gbps or to any supported sub-rate
(÷2 and ÷4), including key data rates such as 10.3125
Gbps and 12.5 Gbps, which allows the DS250DF210
to support individual lane Forward Error Correction
(FEC) pass-through.
