The output differential voltage (VOD) of the driver is controlled by manipulating the FIR tap settings. The main cursor tap is the primary knob for amplitude adjustment. The pre and post cursor FIR tap settings can then be adjusted to provide equalization. To maintain a constant peak-to-peak VOD, the user should adjust the main cursor tap value relative to the pre tap or post tap changes so as to maintain a constant absolute sum of the FIR tap values. The table below shows various settings for VOD settings ranging from 205 mVpp to 1225 mVpp (typical). Note that the output peak-to-peak amplitude is a function of the sum of the absolute values of the taps, whereas the low-frequency amplitude is purely a function of the main-cursor value.

The recommended pre-cursor and post-cursor settings for a given channel will depend on the channel characteristics (mainly insertion loss) as well as the equalization capabilities of the downstream receiver. The DS280DF810 receiver, with its highly-capable CTLE and DFE, does not require a significant amount of pre-cursor or post-cursor. The figures below give general recommendations for pre- and post-cursor for different channel loss conditions. The insertion loss (IL) in these plots refers to the total loss between the link partner transmitter and the DS280DF810 receiver.
