DESCRIPTION
The DS42BR400 is a quad 250 Mbps – 4.25 Gbps CML transceiver, or 8-channel buffer, for use in backplane
and cable applications. With operation down to 250 Mbps, the DS42BR400 can be used in applications requiring
both low and high frequency data rates. Each input stage has a fixed equalizer to reduce ISI distortion from
board traces. The equalizers are grouped in fours and are enabled through two control pins. These control pins
provide customers flexibility where ISI distortion may vary from one direction to another.
All output drivers have four selectable steps of de-emphasis to compensate against transmission loss across
long FR4 backplanes. The de-emphasis blocks are also grouped in fours. In addition, the DS42BR400 also has
loopback control capability on four channels. All CML drivers have 50Ω termination to VCC. All receivers are
internally terminated with differential 100Ω.
Applications
• Backplane driver or cable driver
• Signal repeating, buffering and conditioning applications
