SNLS545E March 2017 – July 2022 LMH1297
PRODUCTION DATA
If the LMH1297 is placed in CD mode (EQ/CD_SEL = H), then PCB trace equalization is enabled for IN0. While the LMH1297 is in CD mode, SDI_IO EQ is powered down.
IN0 has an on-chip 100-Ω termination and is designed for AC coupling, requiring a 4.7-μF, AC-coupling capacitor for minimizing base-line wander. The PCB equalizer can compensate up to 20 inches of board trace at data rates up to 11.88 Gbps. There are two adapt modes for IN0: AM0 manual mode and AM1 adaptive mode. In AM0 manual mode, fixed EQ boost settings are applied through user-programmable control. In AM1 adaptive mode, state machines automatically find the optimal EQ boost from a set of 16 predetermined settings defined in Registers 0x40-0x4F.
In CD mode, the HOST_EQ0 pin determines the IN0 adapt mode and EQ boost level. For normal operation, HOST_EQ0 = F is recommended. HOST_EQ0 pin logic settings are shown in Table 8-5. These HOST_EQ0 pin settings can be overridden by register control. For more information, refer to the LMH1297 Programming Guide.
HOST_EQ0(1) | IN0± EQ BOOST(2) | RECOMMENDED BOARD TRACE IN0±(3) |
---|---|---|
H | All Rates: AM0 Manual mode, EQ=0x00 | < 1 inch |
F | Normal Operation 12G to 3G Rates: AM1 Adaptive mode 1.5G, 270M Rates: AM0 Manual mode, EQ= 0x00 | 0-20 inches |
R | All Rates: AM0 Manual mode, EQ=0x80 | 10-15 inches |
L | All Rates: AM0 Manual mode, EQ=0x90 | 20 inches |
