Jul 12, 2012 11.1Gb/s Lane Extender
The ISL36111 is a settable single-channel receive-side
equalizer with extended functionality for advanced protocols
operating with line rates up to 11.1Gb/s, such as 10G
Ethernet. The ISL36111 compensates for the frequency
dependent attenuation of copper twin-axial cables, extending
the signal reach up to at least 10m on 28AWG cable.
The small form factor, highly-integrated design is ideal for
high-density data transmission applications including active
copper cable assemblies. The equalizing filter within the
ISL36111 can be set to provide optimal signal fidelity for a
given media and length. The compensation level for the filter is
set by two external control pins.
Operating on a single 1.2V power supply, the ISL36111
enables channel throughputs of 10Gb/s to 11.1Gb/s while
supporting lower data rates including 8.5, 6.25, 5, 4.25, 3.125,
2.5 and 1 Gb/s. The ISL36111 uses current mode logic (CML)
input/output and is packaged in a 3mmx3mm 16 lead QFN.
The device supports LOS functionality for module applications. Features Supports data rates up to 11.1Gb/s Low power (~110mW) Low latency (<500ps) Single channel equalizer in a 3mmx3mm QFN package for
straight route-through architecture and simplified routing Adjustable equalizer boost Supports 64b/66b encoded data – long run lengths Line silence preservation 1.2V supply voltage Loss of Signal support Applications SFP+ active copper cable modules QSFP active copper cable modules 10G Ethernet Fibre Channel High-speed active cable assemblies High-speed printed circuit board (PCB) traces Benefits Thinner gauge cable Extends cable reach greater than 3x Improved BER 1.2V LOS …
