INTERSIL QLX4270RIQSR

QLx4270-DP
Features
The QLx4270-DP is a settable quad receive-side
equalizer with extended functionality for DisplayPort
applications. The QLx4270-DP compensates for the
frequency dependent attenuation of copper cables,
allowing operation on ultra-thin 40AWG cable.
• Supports data rates up to 2.7Gb/s per lane
The small form factor, highly-integrated quad design is
ideal for high-density data transmission applications
including active copper cable assemblies.
Operating on a single 1.2V power supply, the
QLx4270-DP enables per channel throughputs of up to
2.7Gb/s. The QLx4270-DP uses current mode logic (CML)
inputs/outputs and is packaged in a 4mmx7mm 46 lead
QFN.
• Low power (78mW per channel)
• Low latency (<500ps)
• Four equalizers in a 4mmx7mm QFN package for
straight route-through architecture and simplified
routing
• Each equalizer boost is independently pin selectable
and programmable
• 1.2V supply voltage
Applications
• DisplayPort (VESA DisplayPort Standard v1.1a)
• DisplayPort adaptors and repeaters
Benefits
• Thinner gauge cable
• Extends cable reach greater than 5x
• Improved BER

UNITS NOTES
NOTES:
3. After channel loss, differential amplitudes at QLx4270-DP inputs must meet the input voltage range specified in “Absolute
Maximum Ratings” on page 4.
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.
Control Pin Boost Setting
The voltages at the CP pins are used to determine the
boost level of each channel of QLx4270-DP. 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 1 defines the
mapping from the 3-bit CP word to the 18 out of 32
possible levels available via the serial interface on the
Evaluation Board kit.

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 3.125kΩ resistor because
the 25kΩ is divided by 4.
Channel Power-Down
The IS[k] pin powers down the equalizer channel when
pulled low. This feature allows individually to power down
unused channels and to minimize power consumption.
Example: for DisplayPort applications with 1 or 2 links,
the unused channels may be powered down to save
power. The current draw for a channel is reduced from
50mA to 3.8mA when powered down.

About Q:Active®
Historically, cable manufacturers have relied on
thick wire gauge cables to deliver Deep Color
images to the monitors and projectors. However,
these cables are bulky, unwieldy and esthetically
unappealing. To address this, Intersil has
developed its groundbreaking Q:ACTIVE® product
line. By integrating its analog ICs inside DisplayPort
cables, Intersil is able to achieve unsurpassed
improvements in cable gauges, reach and
transmitted image quality.
