DS64EV400
Programmable Quad Equalizer
General Description
Features
The DS64EV400 programmable quad equalizer provides
compensation for transmission medium losses and reduces
the medium-induced deterministic jitter for four NRZ data
channels. The DS64EV400 is optimized for operation up to
10 Gbps for both cables and FR4 traces. Each equalizer
channel has eight levels of input equalization that can be programmed by three control pins, or individually through a Serial
Management Bus (SMBus) interface.
The equalizer supports both AC and DC-coupled data paths
for long run length data patterns such as PRBS-31, and balanced codes such as 8b/10b. The device uses differential
current-mode logic (CML) inputs and outputs. The
DS64EV400 is available in a 7 mm x 7 mm 48-pin leadless
LLP package. Power is supplied from either a 2.5V or 3.3V
supply.

Note 1: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur, including inoperability and degradation of device reliability
and/or performance. Functional operation of the device and/or non-degradation at the Absolute Maximum Ratings or other conditions beyond those indicated in
the Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. The Recommended Operating Conditions indicate conditions at which the device is functional and the
device should not be operated beyond such conditions. Absolute Maximum Numbers are guaranteed for a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. Models
are validated to Maximum Operating Voltages only.
Note 2: Typical values represent most likely parametric norms at VDD = 3.3V or 2.5V, TA = 25°C., and at the Recommended Operation Conditions at the time of
product characterization and are not guaranteed.
Note 3: The Electrical Characteristics tables list guaranteed specifications under the listed Recommended Operating Conditions except as otherwise modified
or specified by the Electrical Characteristics Conditions and/or Notes. Typical specifications are estimations only and are not guaranteed.
Note 4: Allowed supply noise (mVP-P sine wave) under typical conditions.
Note 5: Specification is guaranteed by characterization at optimal boost setting and is not tested in production.
Note 6: Deterministic jitter is measured at the differential outputs (point C of Figure 1), minus the deterministic jitter before the test channel (point A of Figure 1).
Random jitter is removed through the use of averaging or similar means.
Note 7: Measured with clock-like {11111 00000} pattern.
Note 8: Random jitter contributed by the equalizer is defined as sqrt (JOUT2 – JIN2). JOUT is the random jitter at equalizer outputs in ps-rms, see point C of Figure
1; JIN is the random jitter at the input of the equalizer in ps-rms, see point B of Figure 1.
Note 9: The VDD2.5 is VDD = 2.5V ± 5% and VDD3.3 is VDD = 3.3V ± 10%.

SMBus Transactions
The device supports WRITE and READ transactions. See
Register Description table for register address, type (Read/
Write, Read Only), default value and function information.
Writing a Register
To write a register, the following protocol is used (see SMBus
2.0 specification).
1. The Host (Master) selects the device by driving its
SMBus Chip Select (CS) signal High.
2. The Host drives a START condition, the 7-bit SMBus
address, and a “0” indicating a WRITE.
3. The Device (Slave) drives the ACK bit (“0”).
4. The Host drives the 8-bit Register Address.
5. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
6. The Host drive the 8-bit data byte.
7. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
8. The Host drives a STOP condition.
9. The Host de-selects the device by driving its SMBus CS
signal Low.
The WRITE transaction is completed, the bus goes IDLE and
communication with other SMBus devices may now occur.
Reading a Register
To read a register, the following protocol is used (see SMBus
2.0 specification).
1. The Host (Master) selects the device by driving its
SMBus Chip Select (CS) signal High.
2. The Host drives a START condition, the 7-bit SMBus
address, and a “0” indicating a WRITE.
3. The Device (Slave) drives the ACK bit (“0”).
4. The Host drives the 8-bit Register Address.
5. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
6. The Host drives a START condition.
7. The Host drives the 7-bit SMBus Address, and a “1”
indicating a READ.
8. The Device drives an ACK bit “0”.
9. The Device drives the 8-bit data value (register contents).
10. The Host drives a NACK bit “1”indicating end of the
READ transfer.
11. The Host drives a STOP condition.
12. The Host de-selects the device by driving its SMBus CS
signal Low.
The READ transaction is completed, the bus goes IDLE and
communication with other SMBus devices may now occur.
Please see Table 1 for more information.
System Management Bus (SMBus)
and Configuration Registers
The System Management Bus interface is compatible to SMBus 2.0 physical layer specification. The use of the Chip
Select signal is required. Holding the CS pin High enables
the SMBus port allowing access to the configuration registers.
Holding the CS pin Low disables the device's SMBus allowing
communication from the host to other slave devices on the
bus. In the STANDBY state, the System Management Bus
remains active. When communication to other devices on the
SMBus is active, the CS signal for the DS32EV400s must be
driven Low.
The address byte for all DS64EV400s is AC'h. Based on the
SMBus 2.0 specification, the DS64EV400 has a 7-bit slave
address of 1010110'b. The LSB is set to 0'b (for a WRITE),
thus the 8-bit value is 1010 1100'b or AC'h.
The SDC and SDA pins are 3.3V LVCMOS signaling and include high-Z internal pull up resistors. External low
impedance pull up resistors maybe required depending upon
SMBus loading and speed. Note, these pins are not 5V tolerant.
Transfer of Data via the SMBus
During normal operation the data on SDA must be stable during the time when SDC is High.
There are three unique states for the SMBus:
START: A High-to-Low transition on SDA while SDC is High
indicates a message START condition.
STOP: A Low-to-High transition on SDA while SDC is High
indicates a message STOP condition.
IDLE: If SDC and SDA are both High for a time exceeding
tBUF from the last detected STOP condition or if they are High
for a total exceeding the maximum specification for tHIGH then
the bus will transfer to the IDLE state.

DATA CHANNELS
The DS64EV400 provides four data channels. Each data
channel consists of an equalizer stage, a limiting amplifier, a
DC offset correction block, and a CML driver as shown in Figure 8.
DS64EV400 Functional
Descriptions
The DS64EV400 is a programmable quad equalizer optimized for operation up to 10 Gbps for backplane and cable
applications.

FIGURE 8. Simplified Block Diagram
EQUALIZER BOOST CONTROL
Each data channel support eight programmable levels of
equalization boost. The state of the FEB pin determines how
the boost settings are controlled. If the FEB pin is held High,
then the equalizer boost setting is controlled by the Boost Set
pins (BST_[2:0]) in accordance with Table 2. If this programming method is chosen, then the boost setting selected on the
Boost Set pins is applied to all channels. When the FEB pin
is held Low, the equalizer boost level is controlled through the
SMBus. This programming method is accessed via the appropriate SMBus registers (see Table 1). Using this approach,
equalizer boost settings can be programmed for each channel
individually. FEB is internally pulled High (default setting);
therefore if left unconnected, the boost settings are controlled
by the Boost Set pins (BST_[0:2]). The eight levels of boost
settings enables the DS64EV400 to address a wide range of
media loss and data rates.
DEVICE STATE AND ENABLE CONTROL
The DS64EV400 has an enable feature on each data channel
which provides the ability to control device power consumption. This feature can be controlled either an Enable Pin
(EN_n) with Reg 07 = 00'h (default value), or by the Enable
Control Bit register which can be configured through the SMBus port (see Table 1 and Table 3 for detail register information), which require setting Reg 07 = 01'h and changing
register value of Reg 03, 04. If the Enable is activated using
either the external EN_n pin or SMBUS register, the corresponding data channel is placed in the ACTIVE state and all
device blocks function as described. The DS64EV400 can also be placed in STANDBY mode to save power. In the
STANDBY mode only the control interface including the SMBus port, as well as the signal detection circuit remain active.

SIGNAL DETECT
The DS64EV400 features a signal detect circuit on each data
channel. The status of the signal of each channel can be determined by either reading the Signal Detect bit (SDn) in the
SMBus registers (see Table 1) or by the state of each SDn

AUTOMATIC ENABLE FEATURE
It may be desirable to place unused channels in power-saving
Standby mode. This can be accomplished by connecting the
Signal detect (SDn) pin to the Enable (ENn) pin for each
channel (See Figure 9). In order for this option to function
properly, the register value for Reg. 07 should be 00'h (default
value). If an input signal swing applied to a data channel is
above the voltage level threshold as shown in Table 4, then
the SDn output pin is asserted High. If the SDn pin is connected to the ENn pin, this will enable the equalizer, limiting
amplifier, and output buffer on the data channels; thus the
DS64EV400 will automatically enter the ACTIVE state. If the
input signal swing falls below the SD_OFF threshold level,
then the SDn output will be asserted Low, causing the channel
to be placed in the STANDBY state.
OUTPUT LEVEL CONTROL
The output amplitude of the CML drivers for each channel can
be controlled via the SMBus (see Table 1). The default output
13

level is 620 mVp-p. The following Table presents the output
level values supported:
pin. An output logic high indicates the presence of a signal
that has exceeded the ON threshold value (called SD_ON).
An output logic Low means that the input signal has fallen
below the OFF threshold value (called SD_OFF). These values are programmed via the SMBus (Table 1). If not programmed via the SMBus, the thresholds take on the default
values as shown in Table 4. The Signal Detect threshold values can be changed through the SMBus. All threshold values
specified are DC peak-to-peak differential signals (positive
signal minus negative signal) at the input of the device.

DS64EV400 Applications
Information
30032007
FIGURE 9. Automatic Enable Configuration
First, the supply (VDD) and ground (GND) pins should be connected to power planes routed on adjacent layers of the
printed circuit board. The layer thickness of the dielectric
should be minimized so that the VDD and GND planes create
a low inductance supply with distributed capacitance. Second, careful attention to supply bypassing through the proper
use of bypass capacitors is required. A 0.01μF bypass capacitor should be connected to each VDD pin such that the
capacitor is placed as close as possible to the DS64EV400.
Smaller body size capacitors can help facilitate proper component placement. Additionally, three capacitors with capacitance in the range of 2.2 μF to 10 μF should be incorporated
in the power supply bypassing design as well. These capacitors can be either tantalum or an ultra-low ESR ceramic and
should be placed as close as possible to the DS64EV400.
UNUSED EQUALIZER CHANNELS
It is recommended to put all unused channels into standby
mode.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The DS64EV400 is a high performance circuit capable of delivering excellent performance. Careful attention must be paid
to the details associated with high-speed design as well as
providing a clean power supply. Refer to the LVDS Owner's
Manual for more detailed information on high speed design
tips to address signal integrity design issues.
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS FOR DIFFERENTIAL
PAIRS
The CML inputs and outputs must have a controlled differential impedance of 100Ω. It is preferable to route CML lines
exclusively on one layer of the board, particularly for the input
traces. 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.
Route the CML signals away from other signals and noise
sources on the printed circuit board. See AN-1187 for additional information on LLP packages.
DC COUPLING
The DS64EV400 supports both AC coupling with external ac
coupling capacitor, and DC coupling to its upstream driver, or
downstream receiver. With DC coupling, users must ensure
the input signal common mode is within the range of the electrical specification VICMDC and the device output is terminated
with 50 Ω to VDD.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
Two approaches are recommended to ensure that the
DS64EV400 is provided with an adequate power supply.
