SLLSFC5C November 2021 – January 2023 ISOUSB211
PRODUCTION DATA
The ISOUSB211 has inbuilt programmable receive equalization and transmit pre-emphasis to cancel signal loss caused by board traces, which helps in meeting USB2.0 high-speed TX and RX eye-diagram templates. These settings are controlled by EQ11 and EQ10 on side 1 and EQ21 and EQ20 on side 2. The EQxx pins can be connected to ground, connected to 3.3-V supply or left floating, together creating 9 different equalization levels. EQ11 and EQ10 can be chosen based on the length of D+/D- board trace and corresponding channel loss estimated on side 1, and similarly EQ21 and EQ20 for side 2. Typical 45-Ohm trace in FR4 has about 0.15 dB/inch for 480 Mbps signaling. Further adjustments to the EQ settings can be made by observing the transmit eye-diagram at the connector. If the trace lengths are very small, no equalization may be needed, and the EQxx pins can be connected to ground.
ISOUSB211 samples EQxx pins only at power up, so it is not recommended to change the EQxx settings on the fly after power up.
