SNLS645A August 2019 – December 2019 DS160PR410
PRODUCTION DATA.
The DS160PR410 is a four-channel multi-rate linear repeater with integrated signal conditioning. The four channels operate independently from one another. Each channel includes a continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) and a linear output driver, which together compensate for a lossy transmission channel between the source transmitter and the final receiver. The linearity of the data path is specifically designed to preserve any transmit equalization while keeping receiver equalization effective.
The DS160PR410 can be configured three different ways:
Pin Mode – device control configuration is done solely by strap pins. Pin mode is expected to be good enough for many system implementation needs.
SMBus/I2C Master Mode - device control configuration is read from external EEPROM. When the DS160PR410 has finished reading from the EEPROM successfully, it will drive the ALL_DONE_N pin LOW. SMBus/I2C slave operation is available in this mode before, during or after EEPROM reading. Note during EEPROM reading if the external SMBus/I2C master wants to access DS160PR410 registers it must support arbitration. The mode is preferred when software implementation is not desired.
SMBus/I2C Slave Mode - provides most flexibility. Requires a SMBus/I2C master device to configure DS160PR410 through writing to its slave address.
