PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The DS280DF810 has strong equalization capabilities that allow it to recover data over channels up to 35dB insertion loss (at 12.9GHz). As a result, the optimum placement for the DS280DF810 in a backplane and mid-plane application is with the higher-loss channel segment at the input and the lower-loss channel segment at the output. This reduces the equalization burden on the downstream ASIC/FPGA, as the DS280DF810 is equalizing a majority of the overall channel. This type of asymmetric placement is not a requirement, but when an asymmetric placement is required due to the presence of a passive backplane or mid-plane, then this becomes the recommended placement.
