3 Description

The DS560DF410 is a four-channel multi-rate retimer

with integrated signal conditioning. It extends the

reach and robustness of long, lossy, crosstalkimpaired

high-speed serial links.

Each channel in the DS560DF410 independently

locks to symbol rates (PAM4 and NRZ) in a

continuous range from 19.6 to 28.9 GBd or to any

supported sub-rate. The integrated CDR function is

ideal for front-port optical module applications to reset

the jitter budget and retime the high-speed serial

data. These features allow for individual lane forward

error correction (FEC) pass-through. In addition, the

DS560DF410 supports automatic lane rate switching

for CDR lock up to five different combinations of baud

rates and modulation types without host intervention.

The advanced equalization features of the

DS560DF410 include a continuously adaptive

continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE), RX feedforward

equalizer (FFE), decision feedback equalizer

(DFE), and a programmable, low-jitter 4-tap TX feedforward

equalizer (FFE) filter. These features enable

reach extension for lossy interconnects such as

direct-attach copper (DAC) cables and backplanes

with multiple connectors and crosstalk.
