Description (continued)

The DS250DF210 has a single power supply and minimal need for external components. These features reduce PCB-routing complexity and BOM cost.

The advanced equalization features of the DS250DF210 include a low-jitter 3-tap transmit finite impulse response (FIR) filter, an adaptive continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE), and an adaptive decision feedback equalizer (DFE). This enables reach extension for lossy interconnect and backplanes with multiple connectors and crosstalk. The integrated CDR function is ideal for front-port optical module applications to reset the jitter budget and retime the high-speed serial data. The DS250DF210 implements a 2x2 cross-point, providing the host with lane crossing, fanout, and multiplexing options

The DS250DF210 can be configured either through the SMBus or through an external EEPROM. Up to 16 devices can share a single EEPROM using Common Channel format. A non-disruptive, on-chip eye monitor and a PRBS generator or checker allow for in-system diagnostics.
