JAJSI41B February 2017 – October 2019 DS250DF210
PRODUCTION DATA.
For this design example, the following guidelines outlined in Table 12 apply.
DESIGN PARAMETER | REQUIREMENT |
---|---|
Device placement | A full-active QSFP cable uses DS250DF210 per paddle card. |
AC-coupling capacitors | Transmit data direction (that is, data coming from the host system and towards the cable): 100-nF AC-coupling capacitors are required for the RX inputs and are not required for the TX outputs. This link segment is AC-coupled on the paddle card at the opposite end of the cable.
Receive data direction (that is, data coming from the cable and towards the host system):100-nF AC-coupling capacitors are required for the RX inputs and the TX outputs. |
Cable insertion loss | The raw cable insertion loss including the insertion loss of the paddle card must be ≤ 35 dB at 25.78125-Gbps Nyquist frequency (12.9 GHz). |
