Quick Links

The DS280MB810 is an 8 Channel Linear Repeater with the ability to extend the reach and robustness of
high speed serial links for up to 28 Gbps interfaces. Simplified equalization control, low power
consumption, and ultra-low additive jitter make the DS280MB810 ideal for front-port interfaces such as
100G-SR4/LR4/CR4 and backplane applications. The small 8 mm x 13 mm package easily fits behind
numerous standard front-port connectors, including SFP28, QSFP28, CFP2/CFP4, and CDFP, without the
need for a heat sink. The optimized package dimensions, high-speed signal escape, and the pin-
compatible retimer portfolio make the DS280MB810 well-suited for high-density backplane and front port
applications. The DS280MB810 can be configured via the default SMBus slave mode or with an external
EEPROM. With this kit, users can quickly evaluate the linear equalizer's performance.
