(See Simplified Application Diagram) DS80EP100 DEVICE DESCRIPTION The DS80EP100 Power-Saver equalizer is a passive network circuit composed of resistive, capacitive, and inductive components (See Figure 4). A Differential bridged T-network compensates for the transmission medium losses and minimizes medium-induced deterministic jitter with FR4 and cables. The equalizer attenuates low frequency signals and is a bandpass filter at the resonant frequency. The response is linear and symmetric. SYMMETRIC I/O STRUCTURES The symmetry of the passive equalization network allows bidirectional operation. Signals receive equal compensation regardless of the direction of data flow. (See Simplified Block Diagram). PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS FOR DIFFERENTIAL PAIRS AND NO CONNECT PADS The differential I/Os must have a controlled differential impedance of 100Ω. It is preferable to route all differential lines exclusively on one layer of the board. The use of vias should be avoided if possible. If vias must be used, they should be used sparingly and must be placed symmetrically for each side of a given differential pair. Differential signals should be routed away from other signals and noise sources on the printed circuit board. Pin 2, Pin 5, and the center DAP have to be left as no connect. Therefore, do not connect the landing pads of these pins to the power or ground plane. See AN-1187 for additional information on the LLP package. I/O TERMINATIONS The DS80EP100 I/O impedance is 100Ω differential. The equalizer is designed for 100Ω-balanced differential signals and is not intended for single-ended transmission. LINEAR COMPENSATION The unique linear compensation feature of the DS80EP100 combined with the tiny package allows maximum flexibility in placement. The equalizer can be placed anywhere in the data www.national.com 6 DS80EP100 Typical Performance Characteristics 30029407 30029408 Residual Deterministic Jitter vs. FR4 Length Residual Deterministic Jitter vs. FR4 Length 30029409 30029410 Eye Height vs. FR4 Length Eye Height vs. FR4 Length 7 www.national.com DS80EP100 Typical Eye Diagrams — Includes Transmitter Setup, Interconnect, and Device Total Jitter 30029411 30029414 FIGURE 5.
