3 Description
The DS280BR820 is an extremely low-power, high-
performance eight-channel linear equalizer supporting
multi-rate, multi-protocol interfaces up to 28 Gbps. It
is used to extend the reach and improve the
robustness of high-speed serial links for backplane,
front-port, and chip-to-chip applications.
The linear nature of the DS280BR820’s equalization
preserves the transmit signal characteristics, thereby
allowing the host and link partner ASICs to freely
negotiate transmit equalizer coefficients (100G-
CR4/KR4). This transparency to the link training
protocol facilitates system-level interoperability with
minimal effect on the latency. Each channel operates
independently, which allows the DS280BR820 to
support individual lane Forward Error Correction
(FEC) pass-through.
The DS280BR820's small package dimensions,
optimized high-speed signal escape, and the pin-
compatible Retimer portfolio make the DS280BR820
ideal for high-density backplane applications.
Simplified equalization control, low power
consumption, and ultra-low additive jitter make it
suitable for front-port interfaces such as 100G-
SR4/LR4/CR4. The small 8-mm x 13-mm footprint
easily fits behind numerous standard front-port
connectors like QSFP, SFP, CFP2/CFP4, and CDFP
without the need for a heat sink.
Integrated AC coupling capacitors (RX side) eliminate
the need for external capacitors on the PCB. The
DS280BR820 has a single power supply and minimal
need for external components. These features reduce
PCB routing complexity and bill of materials (BOM)
cost.
A pin-compatible Retimer device is available for
longer reach applications.
The DS280BR820 can be configured either via the
SMBus or through an external EEPROM. Up to 16
devices can share a single EEPROM.
