11.1Gb/s Driver ISL35111 Features The ISL35111 is a de-emphasis driver with extended functionality for advanced protocols operating with line rates up to 11.1Gbps such as 10G Ethernet. The ISL35111 is a high-speed driver/limiting amplifier with built-in de-emphasis to drive twin-axial copper cables and compensate for the frequency dependent attenuation of PCB traces, such as the SFI channel in the 10G SFP+ specification (SFF-8431). • Supports data rates up to 11.1Gbps Used in conjunction with Intersil’s ISL36111 receive-side equalizer, ISL35111 enables active copper cable assemblies that support 10G serial data transmission over >15m of twin-axial copper cables. • Supports 64b/66b encoded data – long run lengths Operating on a single 1.2V power supply, the ISL35111 enables channel throughputs of 10Gbps to 11.1Gbps while supporting lower data rates including 8.5, 6.25, 5, 4.25, 3.125, 2.5 and 1Gb/s. The ISL35111 uses current mode logic (CML) input/output and is packaged in a 3mmx3mm 16 lead QFN. • TX_Disable and TX_LOS • Low power (85mW typical) • Low latency (<500ps) • Adjustable output de-emphasis • Single channel driver in a 3mmx3mm QFN package for straight route-through architecture and simplified routing • Line silence preservation • 1.2V supply voltage Applications • Active copper cable modules (SFP+, QSFP, CXP, etc.) • Optical transceiver modules (SFP+, QSFP, CXP, etc.) • 10G Ethernet • 40G/100G Ethernet • Fibre Channel • High-speed active cable assemblies • High-speed printed circuit board (PCB) traces Benefits • Thinner gauge cable • Extends cable reach greater than 3x • Improved BER 1.2V LOS 0.1mF CP-A CP-B Vdd 0.1mF IN [P] OUT [P] 0.1mF 1.2V ISL36111 QLx111VRx OUT [N] IN [N] GND DT LOS 0.1mF Vdd DE-A DE-B IN [P] 0.1mF 0.1mF OUT [P] ISL35111 QLx111VTx IN [N] TDSBL GND OUT [N] DT FIGURE 1.

FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE ISL35111 Operation The ISL35111 is an advanced driver for high-speed interconnects. A functional diagram of ISL35111 is shown in Figure 5. In addition to a de-emphasis circuit to compensate for FR4 channel loss and restore signal fidelity, the ISL35111 contains unique integrated features to preserve special signaling protocols typically broken by other drivers. The signal detect function is used to mute the channel output when the input signal falls below the level determined by the Detection Threshold (DT) pin voltage. This function is intended to preserve periods of line silence. 5 As illustrated in Figure 5, the core of the high-speed signal path in the ISL35111 is a sophisticated driver followed by a de-emphasis circuit. The device applies pre-distortion to compensate for skin loss, dielectric loss, and impedance discontinuities in the transmission channel. CML Input and Output Buffers The input and output buffers for the high-speed data channel in the ISL35111 are implemented using CML. Equivalent input and output circuits are shown in Figures 6 and 7. FN6975.2 July 19, 2012 ISL35111 Adjustable De-Emphasis V DD ISL35111 features a settable de-emphasis driver for custom signal restoration. IN[P] The connectivity of the DE pins are used to determine the boost de-emphasis level of ISL35111.

When this pin is pulled HIGH, the ISL35111 will enter a low-power standby mode. For active data transmission, this pin must be pulled LOW. Line Silence/Quiescent Mode FIGURE 7. CML OUTPUT EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT FOR THE ISL35111 6 The ISL35111 is capable of maintaining periods of line silence by monitoring its input pins for loss of signal (LOS) conditions and subsequently muting the output driver when such a condition is detected. A reference voltage applied to the detection threshold (DT) pin is used to set the LOS threshold of the internal signal detection circuitry. For most applications, it is recommended to leave the DT pin floating at its default internal bias. If the sensitivity of the detection threshold needs to be adjusted, the DT voltage can be adjusted with an external pull-up resistor. The resistor values should be validated on an application-specific basis. Connect the DT pin to ground in order to disable this feature and prevent the outputs from muting during line silence.

TYPICAL APPLICATION REFERENCE SCHEMATIC FOR ISL35111 PCB Layout Considerations Because of the high speed of the ISL35111 signals, careful PCB layout is critical to maximize performance. The following guidelines should be adhered to as closely as possible: • All high speed differential pair traces should have a characteristic impedance of 50Ω with respect to ground plane and 100Ω with respect to each other. • Avoid using vias for high speed traces as this will create discontinuity in the traces characteristic impedance. • Input and output traces need to have DC blocking capacitors (100nF). Capacitors should be placed as close to the chip as possible. • For each differential pair, the positive trace and the negative trace need to be of same length in order to avoid intra-pair skew. Serpentine technique may be used to match trace lengths. • Maintain a constant solid ground plane underneath the high-speed differential traces and the bypass capacitors in order to maximize the power supply noise rejection. 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 improves power consumption. • Each VDD pin should be connected to 1.2V and also bypassed to ground through a 47nF and a 100pF capacitor in parallel. Minimize the trace length and avoid vias between the VDD pin 7 FN6975.2 July 19, 2012 ISL35111 Revision History The revision history provided is for informational purposes only and is believed to be accurate, but not warranted.
