A correct common mode level needs to be observed if the input signals are applied in DC-coupled mode. The application of a common mode voltage on DC-coupled I/O’s greater than 1V may permanently damage the chip.

  • Page 11 Signal polarities in all four channels can be selected by appropriate Invert switches of GUI. The Tap weights are controlled by four pre-emphasis slide bars in the top left corner of GUI (named Tap 1 / Tune 1, Tap 2 / Tune 2, Tap 3 / Tune 3, and Tap 4). Positions of all bar sliders correspond to Tap weights at the output.
