3 Description
The DS280MB810 is an extremely low-power, high-
performance eight-channel linear equalizer supporting
multi-rate, multi-protocol interfaces up to 28 Gbaud. 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 DS280MB810 includes a full 2x2 crosspoint
switch between each pair of adjacent channels which
enables 2-to-1 multiplexing and 1-to-2 de-multiplexing
applications for failover redundancy, as well as signal
cross-over to aid PCB routing. The crosspoint can be
controlled through pins or the SMBus register
interface.
The linear nature of the DS280MB810’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. The DS280MB810
supports two-level and four-level pulse amplitude
modulation (PAM) for symbol rates up to 28 Gbaud
and peak signal amplitude within the linear operating
range.
Each channel operates independently, and every
channel can be configured uniquely. In most
application scenarios, the same configuration can be
used regardless of data rate.
The DS280MB810's small package dimensions,
optimized high-speed signal escape, and the pin-
compatible Retimer portfolio make the DS280MB810
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, CFP, and CDFP without
the need for a heat sink.
