After channel loss, differential amplitudes at QLx4300-S45 inputs must meet the input voltage range specified in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” on page5. 4. Temperature = +25°C, VDD = 1.2V. 5. Output residual jitter is the difference between the total jitter at the lane extender output and the total jitter of the transmitted signal (as measured at the input to the channel). Total jitter (TJ) is DJPP + 14.1 x RJRMS. 6. Measured using a PRBS 27-1 pattern. Deterministic jitter at the input to the lane extender is due to frequency-dependent, media-induced loss only. 7. Rise and fall times measured using a 1GHz clock with a 20ps edge rate. 8. For active data mode, cable input amplitude is 400mVP-P (differential) or greater. For line silence mode, cable input amplitude is 20mVP-P (differential) or less. 9. Measured differentially across the data source. FN6982 Rev 1.00 Page 6 of 21 November 19, 2009

QLx4300-S45 NOTES:(Continued) 10. During line silence, transmitter noise in excess of this voltage range may result in differential output amplitudes from the QLx4300-S45 that are greater than 20mVP-P. 11. The data pattern preceding line silence mode is comprised of the PCIe electrical idle ordered set (EIOS). The data pattern following line silence mode is comprised of the PCIe electrical idle exit sequence (EIES). 12. The data pattern preceding or following line silence mode is comprised of the SAS-2 ALIGN (0) sequence for OOB signaling at 3.125Gb/s, and amplitude of 800mVP-P.

Performance was characterized using the system testbed shown in Figure 1. Unless otherwise noted, the transmitter generated a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) PRBS-7 sequence at 800mVP-P (differential) with 10ps of peak-to-peak deterministic jitter. This transmit signal was launched into twin-axial cable test channels of varying gauges and lengths. The loss characteristics of these test channels are plotted as a function of frequency in Figure 2. The received signal at the output of these test channels was then processed by the QLx4300-S45 before being passed to a receiver. Eye diagram measurements were made with 4000 waveform acquisitions and include random jitter.

The equalizer DD transfer functions for a subset of these compensation levels are plotted in Figure 18. The flexibility of this IN[k] P adjustable compensation architecture enables signal fidelity to be optimized on a channel-by-channel basis, 50Ω providing support for a wide variety of channel characteristics and data rates ranging from 2.5Gb/s to 3.125Gb/s. Because the boost level is externally set Buffer rather than internally adapted, the QLx4300-S45 provides reliable communication from the very first bit transmitted. There is no time needed for adaptation and control loop convergence. Furthermore, there are no 50Ω pathological data patterns that will cause the IN[k] N QLx4300-S45 to move to an incorrect boost level. The “Applications Information” section beginning on page12 details how to set the boost level by both the FIGURE 19.

The input and output buffers for the high-speed data channels in the QLx4300-S45 are implemented using Line Silence/Electrical Idle/Quiescent Mode CML. Equivalent input and output circuits are shown in Line silence is commonly broken by the limiting Figures 19 and 20, respectively. amplification in other equalizers. This disruption can be detrimental in many systems that rely on line silence as part of the protocol. The QLx4300-S45 contains special lane management capabilities to detect and preserve periods of line silence while still providing the fidelity-enhancing benefits of limiting amplification during active data transmission. Line silence is detected by measuring the amplitude of the equalized signal and comparing that to a threshold set by the current at the DT pin. When the amplitude falls below the threshold, the output driver stages are muted and held at their nominal common mode voltage1. 1. The output common mode voltage remains constant during both active data transmission and output muting modes. FN6982 Rev 1.00 Page 11 of 21 November 19, 2009

This permits an alternate While [A] can take one of two values, ‘LOW’ or ‘HIGH’, interpretation on setting the boost level. Specifically, the [B] and [C] can take one of three different values: ‘LOW’, CP pins define the default boost level until the registers ‘MIDDLE’, or ‘HIGH’. This is achieved by changing the are (if ever) programmed via the serial bus. value of a resistor connected between VDD and the CP pin, which is internally pulled low with a 25k resistor. Thus, a ‘HIGH’ state is achieved by using a 0 resistor, ‘MIDDLE’ is achieved with a 25k resistor, and ‘LOW’ is achieved with an open resistance. Table 2 defines the mapping from the 3-bit CP word to the 18 out of 32 possible levels available via the serial interface. If all four channels are to use the same boost level, then a minimum number of board resistors can be realized by tying together like CP[k][A,B,C] pins across all channels k. For instance, all four CP[k][A] pins can be tied to the same resistor running to VDD. Consequently, only three resistors are needed to control the boost of all four channels. If the CP Pins are tied together and the 25k is used, the value changes to a 6.25k resistor because the 25k is divided by 4. FN6982 Rev 1.00 Page 13 of 21 November 19, 2009

Register Description The QLx4300-S45’s internal registers are listed in Table4. Register 1 determines whether the CP pins or register values 2 through 21 are used to set the boost level. When this register is set, the QLx4300-S45 uses registers 2-6, 7-11, 12-16, and 17-21 to set the boost level of equalizers 1, 2, 3, and 4. When register 1 is not set, the CP pins are used to determine the boost level for each equalizer channel. The use of five registers for each equalizer channel allows all 32 boost levels as candidate boost levels. TABLE 4.

TIMING DIAGRAM FOR PROGRAMMING MULTIPLE QLx4300-S45 DEVICES USING DI/DO CARRYOVER Detection Thereshold (DT) Pin Functionality The QLx4300-S45 is capable of maintaining periods of line silence on any of its four channels by monitoring each channel for loss of signal (LOS) conditions and subsequently muting the outputs of a respective channel when such a condition is detected. A reference current applied to the detection threshold (DT) pin is used to set the LOS threshold of the internal signal detection circuitry. Current control on the DT pin is done via one or two external resistors. Nominally, both a pull-up and pull-down resistor are tied to the DT pin (Figure 27A), FIGURE 27A. but if adequate control of the supply voltage is maintained to within ±3% of 1.2V, then a simple pull down resistor is adequate (as in Figure 27B). Resistors used should be at least 1/16W, with ±1% precision. The internal bias point of the DT pin, nominally 1.05V, is used in conjunction with the voltage divider (R1 and R2) shown in Figure 27A to set the reference current on the DT pin. Case 1: Channels with less than or equal to 17dB loss at 1.5625GHz: For signals transmitted on channels having less than or equal to 25dB of loss at 2.5GHz, the optimal DT FIGURE 27B. reference current is 0µA. This optimal reference current may be achieved by either leaving the DT pin floating, or tying the DT pin to ground (GND) with a 10M resistor. Case 2: Channels with greater 17dB loss at 1.5625GHz: For channels exhibiting more than 25dB of total loss (this includes cable or FR-4 loss) the DT pin should be configured for a reference sink current (coming out of the DT pin) of approximately 2µA. A typical configuration for a 2µA sink current is given in Figure 27C. If the configuration in Figure 27B is utilized, a 525k resistor is used. FIGURE 27C. FIGURE 27.
