> 32 to 64 symbol filter: symbol rate ≤ 12.5 MHz
> 16 to 32 symbol filter: symbol rate ≤ 25 MHz
Internal filters switch to 16 tap when symbol rate is
between 25 and 50 MHz
Symbol rate
For external serial data, symbol rate is adjustable
from 1000 symbols/sec to a maximum symbol rate of
For internally generated data, symbol rate is adjustable from 1000 symbols/sec to
50 Msymbols/sec. and a maximum of 8 bits per symbol. Modulation quality may be
degraded at high symbol rates.
