3 Description
The DS250DF210 device is a two-channel, multi-rate
retimer with integrated signal conditioning. It is used
to extend the reach and robustness of long, lossy,
crosstalk-impaired, high-speed serial links while
achieving a bit error rate (BER) of 10
Each channel of the DS250DF210 independently
locks to serial data rates in a continuous range from
20.6 Gbps to 25.8 Gbps or to any supported sub-rate
(÷2 and ÷4), including key data rates such as 10.3125
Gbps and 12.5 Gbps, which allows the DS250DF210
to support individual lane Forward Error Correction
(FEC) pass-through.

    (FIR) filter. The output FIR compensates for dispersion in the transmission channel at the output of the DS250DF210. Between the two channels is a full 2x2 cross-point switch. This allows multiplexing and de-multiplexing/fanout applications for fail-over redundancy, as well as cross-over applications to aid PCB routing.
  • Page 17: Feature Description

    DS250DF210 Programming Guide (SNLU202). 8.3.5 Cross-Point Switch The channels in the DS250DF210 have a 2×2 cross-point that may be enabled to implement a 2-to-1 mux, a 1- to-2 fanout, or an A-to-B/B-to-A lane cross. 8.3.6 Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) A 5-tap DFE can be enabled within the data path of each channel to assist with reducing the effects of crosstalk, reflections, or post cursor inter-symbol interference (ISI).
  • Page 18 8.3.9 Differential Driver With FIR Filter The DS250DF210 output driver has a three-tap finite impulse response (FIR) filter which allows for precursor and postcursor equalization to compensate for a wide variety of output channel media. The filter consists of a weighted sum of three consecutive retimed bits as shown in the following diagram.

    8.5.1 Bit Fields in the Register Set Many of the registers in the DS250DF210 are divided into bit fields. This allows a single register to serve multiple purposes which may be unrelated. Often, configuring the DS250DF210 requires writing a bit field that makes up only part of a register value while leaving the remainder of the register value unchanged.

  • Page 74: Application And Implementation

    9.1 Application Information The DS250DF210 is a high-speed retimer which extends the reach of differential channels and cleans jitter and other signal impairments in the process. It can be deployed in a variety of different systems from backplanes to front ports to active cable assemblies.
  • Page 75 The DS250DF210 has strong equalization capabilities that allow it to equalize insertion loss, reduce jitter, and extend the reach of front-port interfaces. A single DS250DF210 can be used to support the egress and ingress channel of a 25GbE port. Similarly, two DS250DF210 devices can be used to support a 50GbE (2x25G) port, one DS250DF210 for the two egress channels and another DS250DF210 for the two ingress channels.

    4. Determine the SMBus address scheme needed to uniquely address each DS250DF210 device on the board, depending on the total number of devices identified in step 2. Each DS250DF210 can be strapped with one of 16 unique SMBus addresses. If there are more DS250DF210 devices on the board than the number of unique SMBus addresses which can be assigned, then use an I2C expander like the TCA/PCA family of I2C/SMBus switches and multiplexers to split up the SMBus into multiple busses.
  • Page 78 The DS250DF210 has strong equalization capabilities that allow it to recover data over long or thin-gauge copper cables. A single DS250DF210 can be used on a SFP28 paddle card to create a full-active cable assembly which is longer or thinner than passive cables.
  • Page 79 DESIGN PARAMETER REQUIREMENT Device placement A full-active QSFP cable uses DS250DF210 per paddle card. Transmit data direction (that is, data coming from the host system and towards the cable): 100-nF AC-coupling capacitors are required for the RX inputs and are not required for the TX outputs. This link...
  • Page 80 The design procedure for active cable applications is as follows: 1. Determine the maximum current draw required for the DS250DF210 retimer(s) on the paddle card. This may impact the selection of the regulator for the 2.5-V supply rail. To calculate the maximum current draw, multiply the maximum transient power supply current by the total number of DS250DF210 devices.
  • Page 81 SNLS561B – FEBRUARY 2017 – REVISED OCTOBER 2019 9.2.3 Backplane and Mid-Plane Applications The DS250DF210 has strong equalization capabilities that allow it to recover data over channels up to 35 dB insertion loss. As a result, the optimum placement for the DS250DF210 in a backplane/mid-plane application is with the higher-loss channel segment at the input and the lower-loss channel segment at the output.

    For differential pair, the typical via configuration is ground-signal-signal- ground. 9. Note that some BGA balls in the DS250DF210 pinout have been de-populated to allow for GND and VDD vias to be placed with ≥1.0 mm via-to-via spacing.
