DATASHEET

QLx4300-S45
Features
The QLx4300-S45 is a settable quad receive-side
equalizer with extended functionality for advanced
protocols operating with line rates up to 3.125Gb/s such
as InfiniBand (SDR) and 10GBase-CX4. The
QLx4300-S45 compensates for the frequency dependent
attenuation of copper twin-axial cables, extending the
signal reach up to 40m on 24AWG cable.
The small form factor, highly-integrated quad design is
ideal for high-density data transmission applications
including active copper cable assemblies. The four
equalizing filters within the QLx4300-S45 can each be set
to one of 32 compensation levels, providing optimal
signal fidelity for a given media and length. The
compensation level for each filter can be set by either (a)
three external control pins or (b) a serial bus interface.
When the external control pins are used, 18 of the 32
boost levels are available for each channel. If the serial
bus is used, all 32 compensation levels are available.
Operating on a single 1.2V power supply, the
QLx4300-S45 enables per channel throughputs of up to
3.125Gb/s while supporting the lower data rates of
2.5Gb/s and 1.5Gb/s. The QLx4300-S45 uses current
mode logic (CML) inputs/outputs and is packaged in a
4mmx7mm 46 lead QFN. Individual lane impedance
select support is included for module applications.

NOTES:
3. After channel loss, differential amplitudes at QLx4300-S45 inputs must meet the input voltage range specified in “Absolute
Maximum Ratings” on page 5.
4. Temperature = +25°C, VDD = 1.2V.
5. Output residual jitter is the difference between the total jitter at the lane extender output and the total jitter of the transmitted
signal (as measured at the input to the channel). Total jitter (TJ) is DJPP + 14.1 x RJRMS.
6. Measured using a PRBS 27-1 pattern. Deterministic jitter at the input to the lane extender is due to frequency-dependent,
media-induced loss only.
7. Rise and fall times measured using a 1GHz clock with a 20ps edge rate.
8. For active data mode, cable input amplitude is 400mVP-P (differential) or greater. For line silence mode, cable input amplitude
is 20mVP-P (differential) or less.
9. Measured differentially across the data source.

Typical Performance Characteristics
VDD = 1.2V, TA = +25°C, unless otherwise noted. Performance was characterized using the system testbed shown in
Figure 1. Unless otherwise noted, the transmitter generated a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) PRBS-7 sequence at 800mVP-P
(differential) with 10ps of peak-to-peak deterministic jitter. This transmit signal was launched into twin-axial cable test
channels of varying gauges and lengths. The loss characteristics of these test channels are plotted as a function of
frequency in Figure 2. The received signal at the output of these test channels was then processed by the QLx4300-S45
before being passed to a receiver. Eye diagram measurements were made with 4000 waveform acquisitions and include
random jitter.

Operation
The QLx4300-S45 is an advanced quad lane-extender for
high-speed interconnects. A functional diagram of one of
the four channels in the QLx4300-S45 is shown in
Figure 17. In addition to a robust equalization filter to
compensate for channel loss and restore signal fidelity,
the QLx4300-S45 contains unique integrated features to
preserve special signaling protocols typically broken by
other equalizers. The signal detect function is used to
mute the channel output when the equalized signal falls
below the level determined by the Detection Threshold
(DT) pin voltage. This function is intended to preserve
periods of line silence (“quiescent state” in InfiniBand
contexts).
As illustrated in Figure 17, the core of each high-speed
signal path in the QLx4300-S45 is a sophisticated

the CP[k] pins are used to set the level. The equalizer
transfer functions for a subset of these compensation
levels are plotted in Figure 18. The flexibility of this
adjustable compensation architecture enables signal
fidelity to be optimized on a channel-by-channel basis,
providing support for a wide variety of channel
characteristics and data rates ranging from 2.5Gb/s to
3.125Gb/s. Because the boost level is externally set
rather than internally adapted, the QLx4300-S45
provides reliable communication from the very first bit
transmitted. There is no time needed for adaptation and
control loop convergence. Furthermore, there are no
pathological data patterns that will cause the
QLx4300-S45 to move to an incorrect boost level.
The “Applications Information” section beginning on
page 12 details how to set the boost level by both the
CP-pin voltage approach and the serial programming
approach.

Line Silence/Electrical Idle/Quiescent Mode
Line silence is commonly broken by the limiting
amplification in other equalizers. This disruption can be
detrimental in many systems that rely on line silence as
part of the protocol. The QLx4300-S45 contains special
lane management capabilities to detect and preserve
periods of line silence while still providing the
fidelity-enhancing benefits of limiting amplification during
active data transmission. Line silence is detected by
measuring the amplitude of the equalized signal and
comparing that to a threshold set by the current at the
DT pin. When the amplitude falls below the threshold,
the output driver stages are muted and held at their
nominal common mode voltage1.

Applications Information
Several aspects of the QLx4300-S45 are capable of being
dynamically managed by a system controller to provide
maximum flexibility and optimum performance. These
functions are controlled by interfacing to the highlighted
pins in Figure 21. The specific procedures for controlling
these aspects of the QLx4300-S45 are the focus of this

In addition to controlling the input impedance, the IS[k]

This feature allows a system controller individually to
power down unused channels and to minimize power
consumption. Example: the signal to power down a
channel could come from an Intelligent Platform
Management controller in ATCA applications for
E-Keying. The current draw for a channel is reduced from
50mA to 3.8mA when powered down.

QLx4300-S45
Equalization Boost Level
Channel equalization for the QLx4300-S45 can be
individually set to either (a) one of 18 levels through the
DC voltages on external control pins or (b) one of 32
levels via a set of registers programmed by a low speed
serial bus. The pins used to control the boost level are
highlighted in Figure 21. Descriptions of these pins are
listed in Table 1. Please refer to “Pin Descrptions” on
page 3 for descriptions of all other pins on the
QLx4300-S45.
The boost setting for equalizer channel k can be read as
a three digit ternary number across CP[k][A,B,C]. The
ternary value is established by the value of the resistor
between VDD and the CP[k][A,B,C] pin.
As a second option, the equalizer boost setting can be
taken from a set of registers programmed through a
serial bus interface (pins 16, 17, 45, and 46). Using this
interface, a set of registers is programmed to store the
boost level. A total of 21 registers are used. Registers 2
through 21 are parsed into four 5-bit words. Each 5-bit
word determines which of 32 boost levels to use for the
corresponding equalizer. Register 1 instructs the
QLx4300-S45 to use registers 2 through 21 to set the
boost level rather than the control pins CP[k][A,B,C].
Both options have their relative advantages. The control
pin option minimizes the need for external controllers as
the boost level can be set in the board design resulting in
a compact layout. The register option is more flexible for
cases in which the optimum boost level will not be known
and can be changed by a host bus adapter with a small
number of pins. It is noted that the serial bus interface
can also be daisy-chained among multiple QLx4300-S45
devices to afford a compact programmable solution even
when a large number of data lines need to be equalized.
Upon power-up, the default value of all the registers (and
register 1 in particular) is zero, and thus, the CP pins are
used to set the boost level. This permits an alternate
interpretation on setting the boost level. Specifically, the
CP pins define the default boost level until the registers
are (if ever) programmed via the serial bus.

Control Pin Boost Setting
When register 1 of the QLx4300-S45 is zero (the default
state on power-up), the voltages at the CP pins are used
to determine the boost level of each channel. For each of
the four channels, k, the [A], [B], and [C] control pins
(CP[k]) are associated with a 3-bit non binary word.
While [A] can take one of two values, ‘LOW’ or ‘HIGH’,
[B] and [C] can take one of three different values: ‘LOW’,
‘MIDDLE’, or ‘HIGH’. This is achieved by changing the
value of a resistor connected between VDD and the CP
pin, which is internally pulled low with a 25kΩ resistor.
Thus, a ‘HIGH’ state is achieved by using a 0Ω resistor,
‘MIDDLE’ is achieved with a 25kΩ resistor, and ‘LOW’ is
achieved with an open resistance. Table 2 defines the
mapping from the 3-bit CP word to the 18 out of 32
possible levels available via the serial interface.
If all four channels are to use the same boost level, then
a minimum number of board resistors can be realized by
tying together like CP[k][A,B,C] pins across all channels
k. For instance, all four CP[k][A] pins can be tied to the
same resistor running to VDD. Consequently, only three
resistors are needed to control the boost of all four
channels. If the CP Pins are tied together and the 25kΩ is
used, the value changes to a 6.25kΩ resistor because the
25kΩ is divided by 4.

QLx4300-S45
Optimal Cable Boost Settings
The settable equalizing filter within the QLx4300-S45
enables the device to optimally compensate for
frequency-dependent attenuation across a wide variety
of channels, data rates, and encoding schemes. For the
reference channels plotted in Figure 2, Table 3 shows the
optimal boost setting when transmitting a PRBS-7 signal.
The optimal boost setting is defined as the equalizing
filter setting that minimizes the output residual jitter of
the QLx4300-S45. The settings in Table 4 represent the
optimal settings for the QLx4300-S45 across an ambient
temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The optimal setting
at room temperature (+20°C to +40°C) is generally one
to two settings lower than the values listed in Table 3.

NOTE: Optimal boost settings should be determined on an

a starting point for application-specific optimization.
Register Description
The QLx4300-S45’s internal registers are listed in
Table 4. Register 1 determines whether the CP pins or
register values 2 through 21 are used to set the boost
level. When this register is set, the QLx4300-S45 uses
registers 2-6, 7-11, 12-16, and 17-21 to set the boost
level of equalizers 1, 2, 3, and 4. When register 1 is not
set, the CP pins are used to determine the boost level for
each equalizer channel. The use of five registers for each
equalizer channel allows all 32 boost levels as candidate
boost levels.

FIGURE 22. TIMING DIAGRAM FOR PROGRAMMING THE INTERNAL REGISTERS OF THE QLx4300-S45
Serial Bus Programming
Pins 16 (DI), 45 (ENB), and 46 (CLK) are used to
program the registers inside the QLx4300-S45. Figure 22
shows an exemplary timing diagram for the signals on
these pins. The serial bus can be used to program a
single QLx4300-S45 according to the following steps:
1. The ENB pin is pulled ‘LOW’.
- While this pin is ‘LOW’, the data input on DI are
read into registers but not yet latched.
- A setup time of tSCK is needed between ENB going
‘LOW’ and the first rising clock edge.
2. At least 21 values are read from DI on the rising
edge of the CLK signal.
- If more than 21 values are passed in, then only the
last 21 values are kept in a FIFO fashion.
- The data on DI should start by sending the value
destined for register 21 and finish by sending the
value destined for register 1.
- A range of clock frequencies can be used. A typical
rate is 10MHz. The clock should not exceed 20MHz.
- Setup (tSDI) and hold (tHDI) times are needed
around the rising clock edge.
3. The ENB pin is pulled ‘HIGH’ and the contents of the
registers are latched and take effect.
- After clocking in the last data bit, an additional
tHEN should elapse before pulling the ENB signal
‘HIGH’.
- After completing these steps, the new values will
affect within tD.
uses a common ENB signal as the serial data is
carried-over from one QLx4300-S45 to the next.
Separate ENB Signals
Multiple QLx4300-S45 devices can be programmed from
a common serial data stream as shown in Figure 23.
Here, each QLx4300-S45 is provided its own ENB signal,
and only one of these ENB signals is pulled ‘LOW’, and
hence accepting the register data one at a time. In this
situation, the programming of each equalizer follows the
steps outlined in Figure 22.
DI/DO Carryover
The DO pin (pin 17) can be used to daisy-chain the serial
bus among multiple QLx4300-S45 chips. The DO pin
outputs the overflow data from the DI pin. Specifically, as
data is pipelined into a QLx4300-S45, it proceeds
according to the following flow. First, a bit goes into
shadow register 1. Then, with each clock cycle, it shifts
over into subsequent higher numbered registers. After
shifting into register 21, it is output on the DO pin on the
same clock cycle. Thus, the DO signal is equal to the DI
signal, but delayed by 20 clock cycles. The timing
diagram for the DO pin is shown in Figure 24 where the
first 20 bits output from the DO are indefinite and
subsequent bits are the data fed into the DI pin. The
delay between the rising clock edge and the data
transition is tCQ.
A diagram for programming multiple QLx4300-S45s is
shown in Figure 25. It is noted that the board layout
should ensure that the additional clock delay experienced
between subsequent QLx4300-S45s should be no more
than the minimum value of tCQ, i.e. 12ns.
Programming Multiple QLx4300-S45
Devices
The serial bus interface provides a simple means of
setting the equalizer boost levels with a minimal amount
of board circuitry. Many of the serial interface signals can
be shared among the QLx4300-S45 devices on a board
and two options are presented in this section. The first
uses common clock and serial data signals along with
separate ENB signals to select which QLx4300-S45
accepts the programmed changes. The second method

Detection Thereshold (DT) Pin Functionality
The QLx4300-S45 is capable of maintaining periods of
line silence on any of its four channels by monitoring
each channel for loss of signal (LOS) conditions and
subsequently muting the outputs of a respective channel
when such a condition is detected. A reference current
applied to the detection threshold (DT) pin is used to set
the LOS threshold of the internal signal detection
circuitry. Current control on the DT pin is done via one or
two external resistors. Nominally, both a pull-up and
pull-down resistor are tied to the DT pin (Figure 27A),
but if adequate control of the supply voltage is
maintained to within ±3% of 1.2V, then a simple pull
down resistor is adequate (as in Figure 27B). Resistors
used should be at least 1/16W, with ±1% precision.
FIGURE 27A.
The internal bias point of the DT pin, nominally 1.05V, is
used in conjunction with the voltage divider (R1 and R2)
shown in Figure 27A to set the reference current on the
DT pin.
Case 1: Channels with less than or equal to 17dB loss at
1.5625GHz:
For signals transmitted on channels having less than
or equal to 25dB of loss at 2.5GHz, the optimal DT
reference current is 0µA. This optimal reference
current may be achieved by either leaving the DT pin
floating, or tying the DT pin to ground (GND) with a
10MΩ resistor.
FIGURE 27B.
Case 2: Channels with greater 17dB loss at 1.5625GHz:
For channels exhibiting more than 25dB of total loss
(this includes cable or FR-4 loss) the DT pin should
be configured for a reference sink current (coming
out of the DT pin) of approximately 2µA. A typical
configuration for a 2µA sink current is given in
Figure 27C. If the configuration in Figure 27B is
utilized, a 525kΩ resistor is used.

About Q:ACTIVE®
Intersil has long realized that to enable the complex
server clusters of next generation datacenters, it is
critical to manage the signal integrity issues of electrical
interconnects. To address this, Intersil has developed its
groundbreaking Q:ACTIVE® product line. By integrating
its analog ICs inside cabling interconnects, Intersil is able
to achieve unsurpassed improvements in reach, power
consumption, latency, and cable gauge size as well as
increased airflow in tomorrow’s datacenters. This new
technology transforms passive cabling into intelligent
“roadways” that yield lower operating expenses and
capital expenditures for the expanding datacenter.
Intersil Lane Extenders allow greater reach over existing
cabling while reducing the need for thicker cables. This
significantly reduces cable weight and clutter, increases
airflow, and reduces power consumption.
