SNLS544B September 2016 – October 2019 DS280BR820
PRODUCTION DATA.
The DS280BR820 has strong equalization capabilities that allow it to equalize insertion loss and extend the reach of backplane channels by 17-22 dB beyond the normal capabilities of the ASICs operating over the channel. The DS280BR820 is designed to apply gain in a linear fashion. In most cases, the DS280BR820 should be placed with the higher loss channel segment at the input and the lower loss channel segment at the output; however, since the DS280BR820 operates in a linear fashion, it can also be used in applications where the lower loss channel segment is at the input and the higher loss channel segment is at the output. Refer to Figure 8.
