DS110RT410
SNLS460A – MAY 2013 – REVISED OCTOBER 2015
DS110RT410 Low-Power Multi-Rate Quad Channel Retimer
1 Features
3 Description
•
The DS110RT410 is a four-channel retimer with
integrated signal conditioning. The device includes a
fully adaptive continuous-time linear equalizer
(CTLE), clock and data recovery (CDR), and a
transmit de-emphasis (DE) driver to enable data
transmission over long, lossy and crosstalk-impaired
highspeed serial links to achieve BER < 1 × 10–15.
For channels with a high amount of crosstalk, the
DS110DF410 should be used because it has selfcalibrating 5-tap decision-feedback equalizer (DFE).

•
•
•
•
•
•
Each channel can independently lock to data rates
from 8.5 to 11.3 Gbps, and associated sub-rates
(divide by 2, 4, and 8) to support a variety of
communication protocols. A 25-MHz crystal oscillator
clock is used to speed up the CDR lock process. This
clock is not used for training the PLL and does not
need to be synchronous with the serial data.
The programmable settings can be applied using the
SMBus (I2C) interface, or they can be loaded through
an external EEPROM. An on-chip eye monitor and a
PRBS generator allow real-time measurement of
high-speed serial data for system bring-up or field
tuning.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The DS110RT410 is a multi-rate, 4-channel retimer. Each channel in the DS110RT410 operates independently.
All channels include a continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE), clock and data recovery circuit (CDR) and a
differential driver with programmable output voltage and de-emphasis. Each channel also has its own eye
opening monitor (EOM) and configurable pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) pattern generator that can be
used for debug purposes.
The DS110RT410 is configurable through a single SMBus port. The DS110RT410 can also act as an SMBus
master to configure itself from an EEPROM.
The following sections describe the functionality of the various circuits and features within the DS110RT410.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Device Data Path Operation
The data path operation of the DS110RT410 comprises with the functional sections as listed in the data path
block diagram of Figure 3. The functional sections are as follows.
• Signal Detect
• CTLE
• CDR
• Differential Driver with De-emphasis
7.3.2 Signal Detect
The signal detect circuit monitors the energy level on the receiver inputs and powers on or off the rest of the high
speed data path if a signal is detected or not. By default, each channel allows the signal detect circuit to
automatically power on or off the rest of the high speed data path depending on if a signal is present. The signal
detect block can be manually controlled in the SMBus channel registers. This can be useful if it is desired
manually force channels to be disabled.
7.3.3 CTLE
The CTLE in the DS110RT410 is a fully adaptive equalizer with optional limiting stage. The CTLE adapts
according to a figure of merit (FOM) calculation during the lock acquisition process.

Feature Description (continued)
Once the CDR has locked and the CTLE has been adapted, the CTLE boost level will be frozen until a manual
re-adapt command is issued or until the CDR re-enters the lock acquisition state. The CTLE is typically
readapted by resetting the CDR.
The CTLE consists of 4 stages, with each stage having 2-bit boost control. This allows for 256 different stageboost combinations. The CTLE adaption algorithm allows the CTLE to adapt through 32 of these stage-boost
combinations. These 32 stage-boost combinations comprise the EQ Table in the channel registers; see channel
registers 0x40 through 0x5F. This EQ Table can be reprogrammed to support up to 32 of the 256 stage-boost
settings.
CTLE boost levels are determined by summing the boosts levels of the four stages. Different stage-boost
combinations that sum to the same number will have approximately the same boost level, but will result in a
different shape for the EQ transfer function (boost curve).
The fourth stage in the CTLE can be programmed through the SMBus interface to become a limiting stage rather
than a linear stage.
7.3.4 Clock and Data Recovery
The DS110RT410 performs its clock and data recovery function by detecting the bit transitions in the incoming
data stream and locking its internal VCO to the clock represented by the mean arrival times of these bit
transitions. This process produces a recovered clock with greatly reduced jitter at jitter frequencies outside the
bandwidth of the CDR phase-locked loop (PLL). This is the primary benefit of using the DS110RT410 in a
system. It significantly reduces the jitter present in the data stream, in effect resetting the jitter budget for the
system.
The DS110RT410 uses the 25-MHz reference to determine the coarse tuning setting for its internal VCO. On
power-up, on CDR reset, and when the DS110RT410 loses lock and cannot re-acquire lock after four attempts,
the 25-MHz reference is used to calibrate the VCO frequency. The required VCO frequency is set by using the
rate/subrate settings (see Table 2) or by manually setting the PPM count and divide ratio. To calibrate the VCO
frequency, the DS110RT410 searches through the available VCO coarse tuning settings and counts the divided
VCO frequency using the 25-MHz reference as a clock source. The VCO coarse tuning setting which provides
the VCO frequency closest to the required frequency is stored, and this coarse tuning setting is used for
subsequent operation. This produces a fast, robust phase lock to the input signal.
7.3.5 Output Driver
The output driver is capable of driving variable output voltages with variable amounts of analog de-emphasis.
The output voltage and de-emphasis level can be configured by writing registers over the SMBus. The
DS110RT410 cannot determine independently the appropriate output voltage or de-emphasis setting, so the user
is responsible for configuring these parameters. They can be set for each channel independently.
An idealized transmit waveform with analog de-emphasis applied is listed in Figure 4.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.6 Device Configuration
The DS110RT410 can be configured by the user to optimize its operation. The four channels can be optimized
independently in SMBus master or SMBus slave mode. The operational settings available for user configuration
include the following.
• Rate and subrate setting
• Driver output voltage
• Driver output de-emphasis
• Driver output rise/fall time
7.3.6.1 Rate and Subrate Setting
Register 0x2f, bits 7:4, Registers 0x60, 0x61, 0x62, 0x63, and 0x64
The DS110RT410 is part of a family of retimer devices differentiated by different VCO frequency ranges. Each
device in the retimer family is designed for operation in specific frequency bands and with specific data rate
standards.
The DS110RT410 is designed to lock rapidly to any valid signal present at its inputs. It is also designed to detect
incorrect lock conditions which can arise when the input data signals are strongly periodic. This condition is
referred to as false lock. The DS110RT410 discriminates against false lock by using its 25-MHz reference to
ensure that the VCO frequency resulting from its internal phase-locking process is correct.
To determine the correct VCO frequency, the digital circuitry in the DS110RT410 requires some user-supplied
information about the expected data rate or data rates. This information is provided by writing several device
registers using the SMBus.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 SMBus Master Mode and SMBus Slave Mode
In SMBus master mode the DS110RT410 reads its initial configuration from an external EEPROM upon powerup. A description of the operation of this mode appears in the DS100DF410EVK, DS110DF410EVK,
DS125DF410EVM User's Guide (SNLU126).
Some of the pins of the DS110RT410 perform the same functions in SMBus master and SMBus slave mode.
Once the DS110RT410 has finished reading its initial configuration from the external EEPROM in SMBus master
mode it reverts to SMBus slave mode and can be further configured by an external controller over the SMBus.
The following two pins provide unique functions in SMBus master mode:
• ALL_DONE
• READ_EN
These pins are meant to work together. When the DS110RT410 is powered up in SMBus master mode, it reads
its configuration from the external EEPROM when the READ_EN pin goes low. When the DS110RT410 is
finished reading its configuration from the external EEPROM, it drives its ALL_DONE pin low. In applications
where there is more than one DS110RT410 on the same SMBus, bus contention can result if more than one
DS110RT410 tries to take command of the SMBus at the same time. The READ_EN and ALL_DONE pins
prevent this bus contention.
The system should be designed so that the READ_EN pin of one of the DS110RT410 devices in the system is
driven low on power-up. This DS110RT410 will take command of the SMBus on power-up and will read its initial
configuration from the external EEPROM. When it is finished reading its configuration, it will set its ALL_DONE
pin low. This pin should be connected to the READ_EN pin of another DS110RT410. When this DS110RT410
senses its READ_EN pin driven low, it will take command of the SMBus and read its initial configuration from the
external EEPROM, after which it will set its ALL_DONE pin low. By connecting the ALL_DONE pin of each
DS110RT410 to the READ_EN pin of the next DS110RT410, each DS110RT410 can read its initial configuration
from the EEPROM without causing bus contention.
For SMBus slave mode, the READ_EN pin must be tied low. Do not leave the READ_EN pin floating or tie it
high.

Figure 5. Connection Diagram for Multiple DS110RT410 Devices in SMBus Master Mode
In SMBus master mode after the DS110RT410 has finished reading its initial configuration from the external
EEPROM it reverts to SMBus slave mode. In either mode the SMBus data and clock lines, SDA and SDC, are
used. Also, in either mode, the SMBus address is latched in on the address strap lines on power-up. In SMBus
slave mode, if the READ_EN pin is not tied low, the DS110RT410 will not latch in the address on its address
strap lines. It will instead latch in an SMBus write address of 0x30 regardless of the state of the address strap
lines. This is a test feature. Obviously a system with multiple retimers cannot operate properly if all the retimers
are responding to the same SMBus address. Tie the READ_EN pin low when operating in SMBus slave mode to
avoid this condition.
The DS110RT410 reads its SMBus address upon power-up from the SMBus address lines.
7.4.2 Address Lines
In either SMBus master or SMBus slave mode the DS110RT410 must be assigned an SMBus address. A unique
address should be assigned to each device on the SMBus.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
The SMBus address is latched into the DS110RT410 on power-up. The address is read in from the state of the
lines (pins 16, 21, 40, and 45 respectively) upon power-up. In either SMBus mode these address
lines are input pins on power-up.
The DS110RT410 can be configured with any of 16 SMBus addresses. The SMBus addressing scheme uses the
least-significant bit of the SMBus address as the Read/Write_N address bit. When an SMBus device is
addressed for writing, this bit is set to 0; for reading, to 1. Table 1 lists the write address setting for the
DS110RT410 versus the values latched in on the address lines at power-up.
The address byte sent by the SMBus master over the SMBus is always 8 bits long. The least-significant bit
indicates whether the address is for a write operation, in which the master will output data to the SMBus to be
read by the slave, or a read operation, in which the slave will output data to the SMBus to be read by the master.
if the least-significant bit is a 0, the address is for a write operation. If it is a 1, the address is for a read
operation. Accordingly, SMBus addresses are sometimes referred to as seven-bit addresses. To produce the
write address for the SMBus, the seven-bit address is left-shifted by one bit. To produce the read address, it is
left shifted by one bit and the least-significant bit is set to 1. Table 1 lists the seven-bit addresses corresponding
to each set of address line values.
When the DS110RT410 is used in SMBus slave mode, the READ_EN pin must be tied low. If it is tied high or
floating, the DS110RT410 will not latch in its address from the address lines on power-up. When the READ_EN
pin is tied high in SMBus slave mode (that is, when the EN_SMB pin (pin 20) is tied high), the DS110RT410 will
revert to an SMBus write address of 0x30. This is a test feature. If there are multiple DS110RT410 devices on
the same SMBus, they will all revert to an SMBus write address of 0x30, which can cause SMBus collisions and
failure to access the DS110RT410 devices over the SMBus.

Once the DS110RT410 has latched in its SMBus address, its registers can be read and written using the two
pins of the SMBus interface, serial data (SDA) and serial data clock (SDC).
7.4.3 SDA and SDC
In both SMBus master and SMBus slave mode, the DS110RT410 is configured using the SMBus. The SMBus
consists of two lines, the SDA or serial data line (pin 18) and the SDC or serial clock line (pin 17). In the
DS110RT410 these pins are 3.3-V tolerant. The SDA and SDC lines are both open-drain. They require a pullup
resistor to a supply voltage, which may be either 2.5 V or 3.3 V. A pullup resistor in the 2-kΩ to 5-kΩ range will
provide reliable SMBus operation.

The SMBus is a standard communications bus for configuring simple systems. For a specification of the SMBus
and description of its operation, see smbus.org/specs/.
7.4.4 Standards-Based Modes
The DS110RT410 is designed to automatically operate with various multi-band data standards.
The first set of register writes constrain the coarse VCO tuning and the VCO divider ratios. When these registers
are set as indicated in Table 2, the DS110RT410 restricts its coarse VCO tuning to a set of coarse tuning values.
It also restricts the VCO divider ratio to the set of divider ratios required to cover the frequency bands for the
desired data rate standard. This enables the DS110RT410 to acquire phase lock more quickly than would be
possible if the coarse tuning range were unrestricted.

As an example of the usage of the registers in Table 2, assume that the retimer is required to operate in 10-GbE
or 1-GbE mode. By setting register 0x2f, bits 7:4, to 4'b0000, the DS110RT410 will automatically set its divider
ratio and its coarse VCO tuning setting to lock to either a 10-GbE signal (at 10.3125 Gbps) or a 1-GbE signal (at
1.25 Gbps) at its input.
For Fibre-Channel, the standard requiring a 10.51875-GHz VCO frequency and the standard requiring an
8.5-GHz VCO frequency require different settings for the registers listed in Table 2. The retimer cannot
automatically switch between these two standards.
For some standards listed in Table 2, the required VCO frequency is the same for each data rate in the standard.
Only the divider ratios are different. The retimer can automatically switch between the required divider ratios with
a single set of register settings.
For other data rates, it is also necessary to set the expected PPM count and the PPM count tolerance. These are
the values the retimer uses to detect a valid frequency lock.
For the 10-GbE and 1-GbE mode listed in Table 2, two frequency groups are defined. These two frequency
groups are referred to as Group 0, for 1 GbE, and Group 1, for 10 GbE. This same frequency group structure is
present for all frequency modes, but for some modes the expected frequency for both groups is the same. The
expected PPM count information for Group 0 is set in registers 0x60 and 0x61. For Group 1, it is set in registers
0x62 and 0x63. For both groups, the PPM count tolerance is set in register 0x64.
The value of the PPM count for either group is computed the same way from the expected data rate in Gbps,
RGbps. The PPM count value, denoted NPPM, is computed by NPPM = RGbps × 1280.
As an example we consider the PPM count setup for 10 GbE and 1 GbE. The expected PPM count for Group 0,
which in this case is 1 GbE, is set in registers 0x60 and 0x61. The expected VCO frequency for 1 GbE is
10.0 GHz. The actual data rate for 1 GbE, which is 8B/10B coded, is 1.25 Gbps. With a VCO divide ratio of 8,
which is the divide ratio automatically used by the retimer for 1 GbE, this yields a VCO frequency of 10.0 GHz.
We compute the PPM count as NPPM = 10.0 × 1280 = 12800. This is a decimal value. In hexadecimal, this is
0x3200.
The lower-order byte is loaded into register 0x60. The higher order byte, 0x32, is loaded into the 7 leastsignificant bits of register 0x61. In addition, bit 7 of register 0x61 is set, indicating manual load of the PPM count.
When this is complete, register 0x60 will contain 0x00. Register 0x61 will contain 0xb2.

For the example we are considering, Group 1 is for 10 GbE. Here the actual data rate for the 64/66B encoded
10 GbE data is 10.3125 Gbps. For 10 GbE, the retimer automatically uses a divide ratio of 1, so the VCO
frequency is also 10.3125 GHz. For 10 GbE, we compute the expected PPM count as NPPM = 10.3125 × 1280 =
13200. Again, this is a decimal value. In hexadecimal, this is 0x3390.
The lower order byte for Group 1, 0x90, is loaded into register 0x62. The higher-order byte, 0x33, is loaded into
the 7 least-significant bits of register 0x63. As with the Group 0 settings, bit 7 of register 0x63 is also set.
When this is complete, register 0x62 will contain 0x90. Register 0x63 will contain 0xb3.
Finally, register 0x64 should be set to a value of 0xff. This is the PPM count tolerance. The resulting tolerance in
parts per million is given by TolPPM = (1 × 10-6 × NTOL) / NPPM. In this equation, NTOL is the 4-bit tolerance value
loaded into the upper or lower four bits of register 0x64. For the example we are using here, both of these values
are 0xf, or decimal 15. For a PPM count value of 12800, for Group 0, this yields a tolerance of 1172 parts per
million. For a PPM count value of 13200, for Group 1, this yields a tolerance of 1136 parts per million.
These tolerance values can be reduced if it is known that the frequency accuracy of the system and of the
25-MHz reference clock are very good. For most applications, however, a value of 0xff in register 0x64 will give
robust performance.
For all the other standards listed in Table 2 the expected PPM count for Group 0 (registers 0x60 and 0x61) and
Group 1 (registers 0x62 and 0x63) will be set the same, since there is only one VCO frequency for these
standards. The expected PPM count and tolerance are computed as described previously for 10 GbE and
1 GbE. The same values are written to each pair of PPM count registers for these standards.
As is the case with the standards-based mode of operation, the expected PPM count value and the PPM count
tolerance must be written to registers 0x60, 0x61, 0x62, 0x63, and 0x64. These are computed exactly as
described previously for the standards-based mode of operation. Since the frequency-range-based mode of
operation uses both Group 0 and Group 1 with the same expected PPM count, the same values should be
loaded into the pairs of registers 0x60 and 0x62, and 0x61 and 0x63.
As an example, suppose that the expected data rate is 8.5 Gbps. The VCO frequency for the frequency-rangebased mode of operation is also 8.5 GHz. So we compute NPPM = 8.5 × 1280 = 10880. This is a decimal value.
In hexadecimal this is 0x2a80.
We write the lower-order byte, 0x80 into registers 0x60 and 0x62. We write the higher order byte, 0x2a, into the
least-significant 7 bits of registers 0x61 and 0x63. We also set bit 7 of registers 0x61 and 0x63. When this
operation is complete, registers 0x60 and 0x62 will contain a value of 0x80. Registers 0x61 and 0x63 will contain
a value of 0xaa.
We also write the PPM tolerance into both the upper and lower four bits of register 0x64. If we write this register
to a value of 0xff, then the PPM count tolerance in parts per million will be given by TolPPM = (1 × 10-6 × NTOL) /
NPPM = 1379 parts per million. This value will be appropriate for most systems.
In summary, for data rates that correspond to the pre-defined standards for the DS110RT410, the standardsbased mode of operation can be used. This mode offers automatic switching of the divide ratio (and, for 10 GbE
and 1 GbE, the VCO frequency) to easily accommodate operation over harmonically-related data rates. For data
rates that are not covered by the pre-defined standards, the frequency-range-based mode of operation can be
used. This mode works with a fixed divider ratio, which is nominally 1. However, the divider ratio can be forced to
other values if desired.
The register configuration procedure is as follows:
1. Select the desired channel of the DS110RT410 by writing the appropriate value to register 0xff.
2. Set bits 5:4 of register 0x36 to a value of 2'b11 as described previously to enable the 25-MHz reference
clock.
3. Write registers 0x2f, and 0x36 with the correct values.
4. Compute the expected PPM count values for Group 0 and Group 1 as described previously.
5. Write the expected PPM count values into registers 0x60-0x63 as described previously, setting bit 7 of both
registers 0x61 and 0x63.
6. Set the value 0xff into register 0x64 for an approximate PPM count tolerance of 1100-1400 PPM.
7. Reset the retimer CDR by setting and then clearing bits 3:2 of register 0x0a.
If there is a signal at the correct data rate present at the input to the DS110RT410, the retimer will lock to it.

In ref_mode 3, bits 5:4 of register 0x36 are set to 2'b11, it is not necessary to set the CAP DAC values the
DS110RT410 determines the correct CAP DAC values automatically.
Because it is not necessary to set the CAP DAC values for Group 0 and Group 1 a-priori in ref_mode 3, the
DS110RT410 can be set up to use automatically switching divider ratios and arbitrary VCO frequencies in this
mode. The mapping of values in register 0x2f, bits 7:4, versus the divider ratios used for each of the two groups
is listed in Table 3.

For the entries in Table 3 where the divider ratios are the same for the two groups, the expected PPM count for
the two groups does not have to be the same. Therefore, in ref_mode 3, a single set of register settings can be
used to specify multiple VCO frequencies either with the same divider ratio or with different divider ratios.
7.4.4.1 Ref_mode 3 Mode (Reference Clock Required)
Ref_mode 3 requires an external 25-MHz clock. This mode of operation is set in register 0x36 bits [5:4] = 2'b11
and is the default setting. In ref_mode 3, the external reference clock is used to aid initial phase lock, and to
determine when its VCO is properly phase-locked. An external oscillator should be used to generate a 2.5-V,
25-MHz reference signal that is connected to the DS110RT410 on the reference clock input pin (pin 19). The
DS110RT410 does not include a crystal oscillator circuit, so a stand-alone external oscillator is required.
The reference clock speeds up the initial phase lock acquisition. The DS110RT410 is set to phase lock to a
known data rate, or a constrained set of known data rates, and the digital circuitry in the DS110RT410
preconfigures the VCO frequency. This enables the DS110RT410 phase-lock to the incoming signal very quickly.
The reference clock is used to calibrate the VCO coarse tuning. However, the reference clock is not synchronous
to the data stream, and the quality of the reference clock does not affect the jitter on the output retimed data. The
retimed data clock for each channel is synchronous to the VCO internal to that channel of the DS110RT410.
The phase noise of the reference clock is not critical. Any commercially-available 25-MHz oscillator can provide
an acceptable reference clock. The reference clock can be daisy-chained from one retimer to another so that
only one reference oscillator is required in a system.
7.4.4.2 False Lock Detector Setting
The register 0x2F, bit 1 is set to 1 by default, which disables the false lock detector. This bit must be set to 0 to
enable the false lock detector function.
7.4.4.3 Reference Clock In
REFCLK_IN pin 19 is for reference clock input. A 25-MHz oscillator should be connected to pin 19. See Electrical
Characteristics for the requirements on the 25-MHz clock. The frequency of the reference clock should always be
25 MHz no matter what data rate or mode of operation is used.
7.4.4.4 Reference Clock Out

25-MHz reference clock input on this output pin. If there are multiple DS110RT410 in the system, the
REFCLK_OUT pin can be directly connected to the REFCLK_IN pin of another DS110RT410 in a daisy chain
connection. The number of devices cascaded in a REF_CLK daisy chain is affected by the effective capacitance
of the board trace connecting the REFCLK_OUT of one device to the REFCLK_IN of the next device. The pulse
high duration at the input of the last device must be greater than 4 ns for proper operation.
In cases of cascading daisy chain with short trace (around 1.5 inches or 5-pF trace capacitance), it is possible to
cascade up to nine devices. In other systems with longer interconnecting trace or more capacitive loading, the
max number of daisy chained devices would be smaller. In a system that requires longer daisy chain, TI
recommends placing an inverted gate after the sixth device. The pre-distorted duty cycle from the inverter allows
for longer daisy chain. A better approach is to break the long daisy chain into two shorter chains, each driven by
a buffer version of the clock and with each chain kept to a maximum of 6. As an example, if there are 12 devices
in the system, the daisy chain connections can be divided into two groups of 6 devices and PCB trace length for
the reference clock output to input connection should be 1.5 inches or less.
7.4.4.5 Driver Output Voltage
The differential output voltage of the DS110RT410 can be configured from a nominal setting of 600-mV peak-topeak differential to a nominal setting of 1.3-V peak-to-peak differential, depending upon the application. The
driver output voltage as set is the typical peak-to-peak differential output voltage with no de-emphasis enabled.
7.4.4.6 Driver Output De-Emphasis
The output de-emphasis level of the DS110RT410 can be configured from a nominal setting of 0 dB to a nominal
setting of –12 dB depending upon the application. Larger absolute values of the de-emphasis setting provide
more pre-distortion of the output driver waveform, accentuating the high-frequency components of the output
driver waveform relative to the low-frequency components. Greater values of de-emphasis can compensate for
greater dispersion in the transmission media at the output of the DS110RT410. The output de-emphasis level as
set is the typical value to which the output signal will settle following the de-emphasis pulse interval in dB relative
to the output VOD.
7.4.4.7 Driver Output Rise and Fall Time
In some applications, a longer rise and fall time for the output signal is desired. This can reduce electromagnetic
interference (EMI) generated by fast switching waveforms. This is necessary in some applications for regulatory
compliance. In others, it can reduce the crosstalk in the system.
The DS110RT410 can be configured to operate with a nominal rise and fall time corresponding to the maximum
slew rate of the output drivers into the load capacitance. Alternatively, the DS110RT410 can be configured to
operate with a slightly greater rise and fall time if desired. For the typical specifications on rise and fall time, see
Electrical Characteristics.
7.4.4.8 INT
The INT line is an open-drain, 3.3-V tolerant, LVCMOS active-low output. The INT lines from multiple
DS110RT410 devices can be wired together and connected to an external controller.
The Horizontal Eye Opening/Vertical Eye Opening (HEO/VEO) interrupt can be enabled using SMBus control for
each channel independently. This interrupt is disabled by default. The thresholds for horizontal and vertical eye
opening that will trigger the interrupt can be set using the SMBus control for each channel.
If any interrupt occurs, registers in the DS110RT410 latch in information about the event that caused the
interrupt. This can then be read out by the controller over the SMBus.
7.4.4.9 LOCK_3, LOCK_2, LOCK_1, and LOCK_0
Each channel of the DS110RT410 has an independent lock indication pin. These lock indication pins, LOCK_3,
LOCK_2, LOCK_1, and LOCK_0, are pin 16, pin 21, pin 40, and pin 45 respectively. These pins are shared with
the SMBus address strap lines. After the address values have been latched in on power-up, these lines revert to
their lock indication function.
When the corresponding channel of the DS110RT410 is locked to the incoming data stream, the lock indication
pin goes high. This pin can be used to drive an LED on the board, giving a visual indication of the lock status, or
it can be connected to other circuitry that can interpret the lock status of the channel.

7.5.1 SMBus Strap Observation
Register 0x00, bits 7:4 and register 0x06, bits 3:0
In order to communicate with the DS110RT410 over the SMBus, it is necessary for the SMBus controller to know
the address of the DS110RT410. The address strap observation bits in control/shared register 0x00 are primarily
useful as a test of SMBus operation. There is no way to get the DS110RT410 to tell what its SMBus address is
unless it is already known.
In order to use the address strap observation bits of control/shared register 0x00, it is necessary first to set the
diagnostic test control bits of control/shared register 0x06. This four-bit field should be written with a value of 0xa.
When this value is written to bits 3:0 of control/shared register 0x06, then the value of the SMBus address straps
can be read in register 0x00, bits 7:4. The value read will be the same as the value present on the
ADDR3:ADDR0 lines when the DS110RT410 was powered up. For example, if a value of 0x1 is read from
control/shared register 0x00, bits 7:4, then at power-up the ADDR0 line was set to 1 and the other address lines,
ADDR3:ADDR1, were all set to 0. The DS110RT410 is set to an SMBus Write address of 0x32.

7.5.2 Device Revision and Device ID
Register 0x01
Control/shared register 0x01 contains the device revision and device ID. The device revision listed in Table 13 is
the current revision for the DS110RT410. The device ID will be different for the different devices in the retimer
family. This register is useful because it can be interrogated by software to determine the device variant and
revision installed in a particular system. The software might then configure the device with appropriate settings
depending upon the device variant and revision.
7.5.3 Control/Shared Register Reset
Register 0x04, bit 6
Register 0x04, bit 6, clears all the control/shared registers back to their factory defaults. This bit is self-clearing,
so it is cleared after it is written and the control/shared registers are reset to their factory default values.
7.5.4 Interrupt Channel Flag Bits
Register 0x05, bits 3:0
The operation of these bits is described in Interrupt Status.
7.5.5 SMBus Master Mode Control Bits
Register 0x04, bits 5 and 4 and register 0x05, bits 7 and 4
Register 0x04, bit 5, can be used to reset the SMBus master mode. This bit should not be set if the
DS110RT410 is in SMBus slave mode. This is an undefined condition.
When this bit is set, if the EN_SMB pin is floating (meaning that the DS110RT410 is in SMBus master mode),
then the DS110RT410 will read the contents of the external EEPROM when the READ_EN pin is pulled low. This
bit is not self-clearing, so it should be cleared after it is set.
When the DS110RT410 EN_SMB pin is floating (meaning that the DS110RT410 is in SMBus master mode), it
will read from its external EEPROM when its READ_EN pin goes low. After the EEPROM read operation is
complete, register 0x05, bit 4 will be set. Alternatively, the DS110RT410 will read from its external EEPROM
when triggered by register 0x04, bit 4, as described in the following.
When register 0x04, bit 4, is set, the DS110RT410 reads its configuration from an external EEPROM over the
SMBus immediately. When this bit is set, the DS110RT410 does not wait until the READ_EN pin is pulled low to
read from the EEPROM. This EEPROM read occurs whether the DS110RT410 is in SMBus master mode or not.
If the read from the EEPROM is not successful, for example because there is no EEPROM present, then the
DS110RT410 may hang up and a power-up reset may be necessary to return it to proper operation. You should
only set this bit if you know that the EEPROM is present and properly configured.
If the EEPROM read has already completed, then setting register 0x04, bit 4, will not have any effect. To cause
the DS110RT410 to read from the EEPROM again it is necessary to set bit 5 of register 0x04, resetting the
SMBus master mode. If the DS110RT410 is not in SMBus master mode, do not set this bit. After setting this bit,
it should be cleared before further SMBus operations.
After SMBus master mode has been reset, the EEPROM read may be initiated either by pulling the READ_EN
pin low or by then setting register 0x04, bit 4.
Register 0x05, bit 7, disables SMBus master mode. This prevents the DS110RT410 from trying to take command
of the SMBus to read from the external EEPROM. Obviously this bit will have no effect if the EEPROM read has
already taken place. It also has no effect if an EEPROM read is currently in progress. The only situations in
which disabling EEPROM master mode read is valid are (1) when the DS110RT410 is in SMBus master mode,
but the READ_EN pin has not yet gone low, and (2) when register 0x04, bit 5, has been used to reset SMBus
master mode but the EEPROM read operation has not yet occurred.
Do not set this bit and bit 4 of register 0x04 simultaneously. This is an undefined condition and can cause the
DS110RT410 to hang up.

7.5.6 Resetting Individual Channels of the Retimer
Register 0x00, bit 2, and register 0x0a, bits 3:2
Bit 2 of channel register 0x00 are used to reset all the registers for the corresponding channel to their factory
default settings. This bit is self-clearing. Writing this bit will clear any register changes you have made in the
DS110RT410 since it was powered-up.
To reset just the CDR state machine without resetting the register values, which will re-initiate the lock and
adaptation sequence for a particular channel, use channel register 0x0a. Set bit 3 of this register to enable the
reset override, then set bit 2 to force the CDR state machine into reset. These bits can be set in the same
operation. When bit 2 is subsequently cleared, the CDR state machine will resume normal operation. If a signal
is present at the input to the selected channel, the DS110RT410 will attempt to lock to it and will adapt its CTLE
according to the currently configured adapt mode for the selected channel. The adapt mode is configured by
channel register 0x31, bits 6:5.
7.5.7 Interrupt Status
Control/Shared Register 0x05, bits 3:0, Register 0x01, bits 4 and 0, Register 0x30, bit 4, Register 0x32, and
Register 0x36, bit 6
Each channel of the DS110RT410 will generate an interrupt under several different conditions. The DS110RT410
will always generate an interrupt when it loses CDR lock or when a signal is no longer detected at its input. If the
HEO/VEO interrupt is enabled by setting bit 6 of register 0x36, then the retimer will generate an interrupt when
the horizontal or vertical eye opening falls below the preset values even if the retimer remains locked. When one
of these interrupt conditions occurs, the retimer alerts the system controller via hardware and provides additional
details via register reads over the SMBus.
First, the open-drain interrupt line INT is pulled low. This indicates that one or more of the channels of the retimer
has generated an interrupt. The interrupt lines from multiple retimers can be wire-ANDed together so that if any
retimer generates an interrupt the system controller can be notified using a single interrupt input.
If the interrupt has occurred because the horizontal or vertical eye opening has dropped below the pre-set
threshold, which is set in channel register 0x32, then bit 4 of register 0x30 will go high. This indicates that the
source of the interrupt was the HEO or VEO.
If the interrupt has occurred because the CDR has fallen out of lock, or because the signal is no longer detected
at the input, then bit 4 and/or bit 0 of register 0x01 will go high, indicating the cause of the interrupt.
In either case, the control/shared register set will indicate which channel caused the interrupt. This is read from
bits 3:0 of control/shared register 0x05.
When an interrupt is detected by the controller on the interrupt input, the controller should take the following
steps to determine the cause of the interrupt and clear it.
1. The controller detects the interrupt by detecting that the INT line has been pulled low by one of the retimers
to which it is connected.
2. The controller reads control/shared register 0x05 from all the DS110RT410 devices connected to the INT
line. For at least one of these devices, at least one of the bits 3:0 will be set in this register.
3. For each device with a bit set in bits 3:0 of control/shared register 0x05, the controller determines which
channel or channels produced an interrupt. Refer to Table 13 for a mapping of the bits in this bit field to the
channel producing the interrupt.
4. When the controller detects that one of the retimers has a 1 in one of the four LSBs of this register, the
controller selects the channel register set for that channel of that retimer by writing to the channel select
register, 0xff, as previously described.
5. For each channel that generated an interrupt, the controller reads channel register 0x01. If bit 4 of this
register is set, then the interrupt was caused by a loss of CDR lock. If bit 0 is set, then the interrupt was
caused by a loss of signal. it is possible that both bits 0 and 4 could be set. Reading this register will clear
these bits.
6. Optionally, for each channel that generated an interrupt, the controller reads channel register 0x30. If bit 4 of
this register is set, then the interrupt was caused by HEO and/or VEO falling out of the configured range.
This interrupt will only occur if bit 6 of channel register 0x36 is set, enabling the HEO/VEO interrupt. Reading
register 0x30 will clear this interrupt bit.

7. Once the controller has determined what condition caused the interrupt, the controller can then take the
appropriate action. For example, the controller might reset the CDR to cause the retimer to re-adapt to the
incoming signal. If there is no longer an incoming signal (indicated by a loss of signal interrupt, bit 0 of
channel register 0x01), then the controller might alert an operator or change the channel configuration. This
is system dependent.
8. Reading the interrupt status registers will clear the interrupt. If this does not cause the interrupt input to go
high, then another device on the same input has generated an interrupt. The controller can address the next
device using the previous procedure.
9. Once all the interrupt registers for all channels for all DS110RT410 devices that generated interrupts have
been read, clearing all the interrupt indications, the INT line should go high again. This indicates that all the
existing interrupt conditions have been serviced.
The channel registers referred to previously, registers 0x01, 0x30, 0x32, and 0x36, are described in the channel
registers table, Table 15.
7.5.8 Overriding the CTLE Boost Setting
Register 0x03, Register 0x13, bit 2, and Register 0x3a
To override the CTLE boost settings, register 0x03 is used. This register contains the currently-applied CTLE
boost settings. The boost values can be overridden by using the two-bit fields in this register as listed in the
table.
The final stage of the CTLE has an additional control bit which sets it to a limiting mode. For some channels, this
additional setting improves the bit error rate performance. This bit is bit 2 of register 0x13.
If the DS110RT410 loses lock because of a change in the CTLE settings, the DS110RT410 will initiate its lock
and adaptation sequence again. Thus, if you write new CTLE boost values to register 0x03 and 0x13 that cause
the DS110RT410 to drop out of lock, the DS110RT410 may, in the process of reacquiring the CDR lock, reset
the CTLE settings to different values than those you set in register 0x03 and 0x13. If this behavior is not
understood, it can appear that the DS110RT410 did not accept the values you wrote to the CTLE boost registers.
What is really happening, however, is that the lock and adaptation sequence is overriding the CTLE values you
wrote to the CTLE boost registers. This will not happen unless the DS110RT410 drops out of lock.
If the adapt mode is set to 0 (bits 6:5 of channel register 0x31), then the CTLE boost values will not be
overridden, but the DS110RT410 may still lose lock. If this happens, the DS110RT410 will attempt to reacquire
lock. if the reference mode is set appropriately, and if the rate/subrate code is set to permit it, the DS110RT410
will begin searching for CDR lock at the highest allowable VCO divider ratio – that is, at the lowest configured bit
rate. At divider values of 4 and 8, the CTLE boost settings used will come not from the values in register 0x03,
and 0x13, but rather from register 0x3a, the fixed CTLE boost setting for lower data rates. This setting will be
written into boost setting register 0x03 during the lock search process. This value may be different from the value
you set in register 0x03, so, again, it may appear that the DS110RT410 has not accepted the CTLE boost
settings you set in registers 0x03 and 0x13. The interactions of the lock and adaptation sequences with the
manually-set CTLE boost settings can be difficult to understand.
To manually override the CTLE boost under all conditions, perform the following steps.
1. Set the DS110RT410 channel adapt mode to 0 by writing 0x0 to bits 6:5 of channel register 0x31.
2. Set the desired CTLE boost setting in register 0x3a. If the DS110RT410 loses lock and attempts to lock to a
lower data rate, it will use this CTLE boost setting.
3. Set the desired CTLE boost setting in register 0x03.
4. Set the desired CTLE boost setting in register 0x40.
5. If desired, set the CTLE stage 3 limiting bit, bit 2 of register 0x13.
If the DS110RT410 loses lock when the CTLE boost settings are set according to the sequence described
previously, the DS110RT410 will try to reacquire lock, but it will not change the CTLE boost settings in order to
do so.

7.5.9 Overriding the VCO Search Values
Register 0x08, bits 4:0, Register 0x09, bit 7, Register 0x0b, bits 4:0, Register 0x36, bits 5:4 and 2:0, and Register
0x2f, bits 7:6 and 5:4
Registers 0x08 and 0x0b contain CAP DAC override values. Normally, when bits 5:4 of register 0x36 are set to
2'b11, then the DS110RT410 performs an initial search to determine the correct CAP DAC setting (coarse VCO
tuning) for the selected rate and subrate. The rate and subrate settings (bits 7:6 and 5:4 of register 0x2f)
determine the frequency range to be searched, with the 25 MHz reference clock used as the frequency reference
for the frequency search.
The CAP DAC value can be overridden by writing new values to bits 4:0 of register 0x08 (for CAP DAC setting 1)
and bits 4:0 of 0x0b (for CAP DAC setting 2). The override bit, bit 7 of register 0x09 must be set for the override
CAP DAC values to take effect. Since the valid rate and subrate setting for 10 GbE and 1 GbE applies to multiple
data rates, there are two CAP DAC values for this rate. The first is in register 0x08, bits 4:0, and the second is in
register 0x0b, bits 4:0. The DS110RT410 will use the CAP DAC value in register 0x08 for the larger divide ratio
(8) associated with the selected rate and subrate to try and acquire lock. If it fails to acquire lock, it will use the
CAP DAC value in register 0x0b with the smaller divide ratio (higher VCO frequency) associated with the
selected rate and subrate (1). It will continue to try to acquire lock in this way until it either succeeds or the
override bit (bit 7 of register 0x09) is cleared.

0x1e, bits 7:5, controls the output produced when the retimer has a signal at its input, but is not locked to it. The
default value for this bit field, 0x7, causes the retimer output to mute when the retimer is not locked to an input
signal. Writing a value of 0x0 to this bit field, for example, will cause the retimer to output raw data (not retimed)
when it is not locked to its input signal.

SNLS460A – MAY 2013 – REVISED OCTOBER 2015
Set the override bit to 1, bit 5 of register 0x09, will cause the retimer to output the value selected by the bit field
in register 0x1e, bits 7:5. In the raw data mode (CDR is bypassed), the register 0x3F, bit 7 should be set to 1,
this will disable the fast cap re-search which stops the output from powering down (muting) during raw mode.
When no signal is present at the input to the selected channel of the DS110RT410 the signal detect circuitry will
power down the channel. This includes the output driver which is therefore muted when no signal is present at
the input. If you want to get an output when no signal is present at the input, for example to enable a freerunning PRBS sequence, the first step is to override the signal detect. In order to force the signal detect on, set
bit 7 and clear bit 6 of channel register 0x14. Even if there is no signal at the input to the channel, the channel
will be enabled. If the channel was disabled before, the current drain from the supply will increase by 100–150
mA depending upon the other channel settings in the device. This increased current drain indicates that the
channel is now enabled.
The second step is to override the output multiplexer setting. This is accomplished by setting bit 5 of register
0x09, the output multiplexer override. Once this bit is set, the value of register 0x1e, bits 7:5 will control the
output of the channel. Note that if either retimed or raw data is selected, the output will just be noise. The device
output may saturate to a static 1 or 0.
If there is no signal, the VCO clock will be free-running. Its frequency will depend upon the divider and CAP DAC
settings and it will vary from part to part and over temperature.
If the PRBS generator is enabled, the PRBS generator output can be selected. This can either be at a data rate
determined by the free-running VCO or at a data rate determined by the input signal, if one is present. If a signal
is present at the input and the DS110RT410 can lock to it, the output of the PRBS generator will be synchronous
with the input signal, but the bit stream output will be determined by the PRBS generator selection.
The 10 MHz clock is always available at the output when the output multiplexer is overridden. The 10 MHz clock
is a free-running oscillator in the DS110RT410 and is not synchronous to the input or to anything else in the
system. The clock frequency will be approximately 10 MHz, but this will vary from part to part.
If there is a signal present at the input, it is not necessary to override the signal detect. Clearing bits 7 and 6 of
register 0x14 will return control of the signal detect to the DS110RT410. Normally, when the retimer is locked to
a signal at its input, it will output retimed data. However, if desired, the output multiplexer can be overridden in
this condition to output raw data. It can also be set to output any of the other signals listed in Table 6. If there is
an input signal, and if the DS110RT410 is locked to it, the VCO I-Clock, the VCO Q-Clock, and the output of the
PRBS generator, if it is enabled, will be synchronous to the input signal.
When a signal is present at the input, it might be desired to output the raw data in order to see the effects of the
CTLE without the CDR. It might also be desired to enable the PRBS generator and output this signal, replacing
the data content of the input signal with the internally-generated PRBS sequence.
7.5.11 Overriding the VCO Divider Selection
Register 0x09, bit 2, and Register 0x18, bits 6:4
In normal operation, the DS110RT410 sets its VCO divider to the correct divide ratio, either 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16,
depending upon the bit rate of the signal at the channel input. It is possible to override the divider selection. This
might be desired if the VCO is set to free-run, for example, to output a signal at a sub-harmonic of the actual
VCO frequency.
In order to override the VCO divider settings, first set bit 2 of register 0x09. This is the VCO divider override
enable. Once this bit is set, the VCO divider setting is controlled by the value in register 0x18, bits 6:4. The valid
values for this three-bit field are 0x0 to 0x4. The mapping of the bit field values to the divider ratio is listed in
Table 7.

In normal operation, the DS110RT410 will determine the required VCO divider ratio automatically. The most
common application for overriding the divider ratio is when the VCO is set to free-run. Normally the divider ratio
should not be overridden except in this case.
7.5.12 Using the PRBS Generator
Register 0x0d, bit 5, Register 0x1e, bit 4, and Register 0x30, bit 3 and bits 1:0
The DS110RT410 includes an internal PRBS generator which can generate standard PRBS-9 and PRBS-31 bit
sequences. The PRBS generator can produce a PRBS sequence that is synchronous to the incoming data
signal, or it can generate a PRBS sequence using the internal free-running VCO as a clock. Both modes of
operation are described in the paragraphs that follow.
To produce a PRBS sequence that is synchronized to the incoming data signal, the DS110RT410 must be
locked to the incoming signal. When this is true, the signal detect is set and the channel is active. In addition, the
VCO is locked to the incoming signal The VCO will remain locked to the incoming signal regardless of the state
of the output multiplexer.
To activate the PRBS generator, first set bit 4 of register 0x1e. This bit enables the PRBS generator digital
circuitry. Then reset the PRBS clock by clearing bit 3 of register 0x30. Select either PRBS-9 or PRBS-31 by
setting bits 1:0 of register 0x30. Set this bit field to 0x0 for PRBS-9 and to 0x2 for PRBS-31. Then load the PRBS
clock by setting bit 3 of register 0x30. Finally, enable the PRBS clock by setting bit 5 of register 0x0d. This
sequence of register writes will enable the internal PRBS generator.
As described previously, to select the PRBS generator as the output for the selected channel, set bit 5 of register
0x09, the output multiplexer override. Then write 0x4 to bits 7:5 of register 0x1e. This selects the PRBS
generator for output.
For the case described previously, the output PRBS sequence will be synchronous to the incoming data. There
are two other cases of interest. The first is when there is an input signal but the PRBS sequence should not be
synchronous to it. In other words, in this case it is desired that the VCO should free-run. The second case is
when there is no input signal, but the PRBS sequence should still be output. Again, in this case, the VCO is freerunning.
The register settings for these two cases are almost the same. The only difference is that, if there is no input
signal, then the channel will be disabled and powered-down by default. In order to force enable the channel,
write a 1 to bit 7 and a 0 to bit 6 of register 0x14. This forces the signal detect to be active and enables the
selected channel.
The remainder of the register write sequence is designed to disable the phase-locked loop so that the VCO can
free run.
First write a 1 to bit 3 of register 0x09, then 0x0 to bits 1:0 of register 0x1b. This disables the charge pump for
the phase-locked loop.
Next write a 1 to bit 2 of register 0x09. This enables the VCO divider override. Then set the VCO divider ratio by
writing to register 0x18 as listed in Table 7. For an output frequency of approximately 10.3125 GHz, set the
divider ratio to 1 by writing 0x0 to bits 6:4 of register 0x18. Do not clear bit 3 when you write a 1 to bit 2 of
register 0x09.
Now write a 1 to bit 7 of register 0x09. This enables the VCO CAP DAC override. Write the desired VCO cap
count to register 0x08, bits 4:0. The mapping of VCO frequencies to cap count will vary somewhat from part to
part. The VCO cap count should be set to 0x08 to yield an output VCO frequency of approximately 10.3125 GHz.
Do not clear bits 3 and 2 when you write a 1 to bit 7 of register 0x09.

Now write a 1 to bit 6 of register 0x09. This enables the VCO LPF DAC which can generate a VCO control
voltage internally to the DS110RT410. Once the LPF DAC is enabled, write the desired value of the LPF DAC
output in register 0x1f, bits 4:0. For an output VCO frequency of approximately 10.3125 GHz, set the LPF DAC
setting to 0x12. Do not clear the remaining bits of register 0x09 when you write a 1 to bit 6.
Now, as previously, enable the PRBS generator and set it to the desired bit sequence, then select the output to
be the PRBS generator by setting the output multiplexer. Notice that when this entire sequence has been
completed, bits 7:2 of register 0x09 will all be set. The default value of register 0x09 is 0x00, so you can clear all
the overrides when you are ready to return to normal operation by writing 0x00 to register 0x09.
The VCO frequency in free-run will vary somewhat from part to part. In order to determine exact values of the
CAP DAC and LPF DAC settings, it will be necessary to directly measure the VCO frequency using some sort of
frequency-measurement device such as a frequency counter or a spectrum analyzer. When the VCO is set to
free-run mode as previously, you can select the VCO I-clock (in-phase clock) to be the output as listed in
Table 6. You can measure the frequency of the VCO I-clock while adjusting the CAP DAC and LPF DAC values
until the VCO I-clock frequency is acceptable for your application. Then you can once again select the PRBS
generator as the output using the output multiplexer selection field.
7.5.13 Using the Internal Eye Opening Monitor
Register 0x11, bits 7:6 and bit 5, Register 0x22, bit 7, Register 0x24, bit 7 and bit 0, Register 0x25, Register
0x26, Register 0x27, Register 0x28, Register 0x2a and Register 0x3e, bit 7
The DS110RT410 includes an internal eye opening monitor. The eye opening monitor is used by the retimer to
compute a figure of merit for automatic adaptation of the CTLE. It can also be controlled and queried through the
SMBus by a system controller.
The eye opening monitor produces error hit counts for settable phase and voltage offsets of the comparator in
the retimer. This is similar to the way many Bit Error Rate Test Sets measure eye opening. At each phase and
amplitude offset setting, the eye opening monitor determines the nominal bit value (“0” or “1”) using its primary
comparator. This is the bit value that is resynchronized to the recovered clock and presented at the output of the
DS110RT410. The eye opening monitor also determines the bit value detected by the offset comparator. This
information yields an eye contour. Here's how this works.
If the offset comparator is offset in voltage by an amount larger than the vertical eye opening, for example, then
the offset comparator will always decide that the current bit has a bit value of “0”. When the bit is really a “1”, as
determined by the primary comparator, this is considered a bit error. The number of bit errors is counted for a
settable interval at each setting of the offset phase and voltage of the offset comparator. These error counts can
be read from registers 0x25 and 0x26 for sequential phase and voltage offsets. These error counts for all phase
and voltage offsets form a 64 X 64 point array. A surface or contour plot of the error hit count versus phase and
voltage offset produces an eye diagram, which can be plotted by external software.
The eye opening monitor works in two modes. In the first, only the horizontal and vertical eye openings are
measured. The eye opening monitor first sweeps its variable-phase clock through one unit interval with the
comparison voltage set to the mid point of the signal. This determines the midpoint of the horizontal eye opening.
The eye opening monitor then sets its variable phase clock to the midpoint of the horizontal eye opening and
sweeps its comparison voltage. These two measurements determine the horizontal and vertical eye openings.
The horizontal eye opening value is read from register 0x27 and the vertical eye opening from register 0x28.
Both values are single byte values.
The measurement of horizontal and vertical eye opening is very fast. The speed of this measurement makes it
useful for determining the adaptation figure of merit. In normal operation, the HEO and VEO are automatically
measured periodically to determine whether the DS110RT410 is still in lock. Reading registers 0x27 and 0x28
will yield the most-recently measured HEO and VEO values.
In normal operation, the eye monitor circuitry is powered down most of the time to save power. When the eye is
to be measured under external control, it must first be enabled by writing a 0 to bit 5 of register 0x11. The default
value of this bit is 1, which powers down the eye monitor except when it is powered-up periodically by the CDR
state machine and used to test CDR lock. The eye monitor must be powered up to measure the eye under
external SMBus control.
Bits 7:6 of register 0x11 are also used during eye monitor operation to set the EOM voltage range. This is
described in the following text. A single write to register 0x11 can set both bit 5 and bits 7:6 in one operation.

Register 0x3e, bit 7, enables horizontal and vertical eye opening measurements as part of the lock validation
sequence. When this bit is set, the CDR state machine periodically uses the eye monitor circuitry to measure the
horizontal and vertical eye opening. If the eye openings are too small, according to the pre-determined
thresholds in register 0x6a, then the CDR state machine declares lock loss and begins the lock acquisition
process again. For SMBus acquisition of the internal eye, this lock monitoring function must be disabled. Prior to
overriding the EOM by writing a 1 to bit 0 of register 0x24, disable the lock monitoring function by writing a 0 to
bit 7 of register 0x3e. Once the eye has been acquired, you can reinstate HEO and VEO lock monitoring by once
again writing a 1 to bit 7 of register 0x3e.
Under external SMBus control, the eye opening monitor can be programmed to sweep through all its 64 states of
phase and voltage offset autonomously. This mode is initiated by setting register 0x24, bit 7, the fast_eom mode
bit. Register 0x22, bit 7, the eom_ov bit, should be cleared in this mode.
When the fast_eom bit is set, the eye opening monitor operation is initiated by setting bit 0 of register 0x24,
which is self-clearing. As soon as this bit is set, the eye opening monitor begins to acquire eye data. The results
of the eye opening monitor error counter are stored in register 0x25 and 0x26. In this mode the eye opening
monitor results can be obtained by repeated multi-byte reads from register 0x25. It is not necessary to read from
register 0x26 for a multi-byte read. As soon as the eight most significant bits are read from register 0x25, the
eight least significant bits for the current setting are loaded into register 0x25 and they can be read immediately.
As soon as the read of the eight most significant bits has been initiated, the DS110RT410 sets its phase and
voltage offsets to the next setting and starts its error counter again. The result of this is that the data from the eye
opening monitor is available as quickly as it can be read over the SMBus with no further register writes required.
The external controller just reads the data from the DS110RT410 over the SMBus as fast as it can. When all the
data has been read, the DS110RT410 clears the eom_start bit.
If multi-byte reads are not used, meaning that the device is addressed each time a byte is read from it, then it is
necessary to read register 0x25 to get the MSB (the eight most significant bits) and register 0x26 to get the LSB
(the eight least significant bits) of the current eye monitor measurement. Again, as soon as the read of the MSB
has been initiated, the DS110RT410 sets its phase and voltage offsets to the next setting and starts its error
counter again. In this mode both registers 0x25 and 0x26 must be read in order to get the eye monitor data. The
eye monitor data for the next set of phase and voltage offsets will not be loaded into registers 0x25 and 0x26
until both registers have been read for the current set of phase and voltage offsets.
In all eye opening monitor modes, the amount of time during which the eye opening monitor accumulates eye
opening data can be set by the value of register 0x2a. In general, the greater this value the longer the
accumulation time. When this value is set to its maximum possible value of 0xff, the maximum number of
samples acquired at each phase and amplitude offset is approximately 218. Even with this setting, the eye
opening monitor values can be read from the SMBus with no delay. The eye opening monitor operation is
sufficiently fast that the SMBus read operation cannot outrun it.
The eye opening is measured at the input to the data comparator. At this point in the data path, a significant
amount of gain has been applied to the signal by the CTLE. In many cases, the vertical eye opening as
measured by the EOM will be on the order of 400 to 500 mV peak-to-peak. The secondary comparator, which is
used to measure the eye opening, has an adjustable voltage range from ±100 mV to ±400 mV. The EOM voltage
range is normally set by the CDR state machine during lock and adaptation, but the range can be overridden by
writing a two-bit code to bits 7:6 of register 0x11. The values of this code and the corresponding EOM voltage
ranges are listed in Table 8.

Note that the voltage ranges listed in Table 8 are the voltage ranges of the signal at the input to the data path
comparator. These values are not directly equivalent to any observable voltage measurements at the input to the
DS110RT410 . Note also that if the EOM voltage range is set too small the voltage sweep of the secondary
comparator may not be sufficient to capture the vertical eye opening. When this happens the eye boundaries will
be outside the vertical voltage range of the eye measurement.

To summarize, the following procedure is for reading the eye monitor data from the DS110RT410.
1. Select the DS110RT410 channel to be used for the eye monitor measurement by writing the channel select
register, register 0xff, with the appropriate value as listed in Table 14. if the correct channel register set is
already selected, this step may be skipped.
2. Disable the HEO and VEO lock monitoring function by writing a 0 to bit 7 of register 0x3e.
3. Select the eye monitor voltage range by setting bits 7:6 of register 0x11 according to the values in Table 8.
The CDR state machine will have set this range during lock acquisition, but it may be necessary to change it
to capture the entire vertical eye extent.
4. Power up the eye monitor circuitry by clearing bit 5 of register 0x11. Normally the eye monitor circuitry is
powered up periodically by the CDR state machine. Clearing bit 5 of register 0x11 enables the eye monitor
circuitry unconditionally. This bit should be set again once the eye acquisition is complete. Clearing bit 5 and
setting bits 7:6 of register 0x11 as desired can be combined into a single register write if desired.
5. Clear bit 7 of register 0x22. This is the eye monitor override bit. It is cleared by default, so you may not need
to change it.
6. Set bit 7 of register 0x24. This is the fast eye monitor enable bit.
7. Set bit 1 of register 0x24. This initiates the automatic fast eye monitor measurement. This bit can be set at
the same time a bit 7 of register 0x24 if desired.
8. Read the data array from the DS110RT410. This can be accomplished in two ways.
– If you are using multi-byte reads, address the DS110RT410 to read from register 0x25. Continue to read
from this register without addressing the device again until you have read all the data desired. The
read operation can be interrupted by addressing the device again and then resumed by reading once
again from register 0x25.
– If you are not using multi-byte reads, then read the MSB for each phase and amplitude offset setting from
register 0x25 and the LSB for each setting from register 0x26. In this mode, you address the device each
time you want to read a new byte.
9. In either mode, the first four bytes do not contain valid data. These should be discarded.
10. Continue reading eye monitor data until you have read the entire 64 X 64 array.
11. Clear bit 7 of register 0x24. This disables fast eye monitor mode.
12. Set bit 5 of register 0x11. This will return control of the eye monitor circuitry to the CDR state machine.
13. Set bit 7 of register 0x3e. This re-enables the HEO and VEO lock monitoring.
7.5.14 Enabling Slow Rise/Fall Time on the Output Driver
Register 0x18, bit 2
Normally the rise and fall times of the output driver of the DS110RT410 are set by the slew rate of the output
transistors. By default, the output transistors are biased to provide the maximum possible slew rate, and hence
the minimum possible rise and fall times. In some applications, slower rise and fall times may be desired. For
example, slower rise and fall times may reduce the amplitude of electromagnetic interference (EMI) produced by
a system.
Setting bit 2 of register 0x18 will adjust the output driver circuitry to increase the rise and fall times of the signal.
Setting this bit will approximately double the nominal rise and fall times of the DS110RT410 output driver. This bit
is cleared by default.
7.5.15 Inverting the Output Polarity
Register 0x1f, bit 7
In some systems, the polarity of the data does not matter. In systems where it does matter, it is sometimes
necessary, for the purposes of trace routing, for example, to invert the normal polarities of the data signals.
The DS110RT410 can invert the polarity of the data signals by means of a register write. Writing a 1 to bit 7 of
register 0x1f inverts the polarity of the output signal for the selected channel. This can provide additional flexibility
in system design and board layout.

7.5.16 Overriding the Figure of Merit for Adaptation
Register 0x2c, bits 5:4, Register 0x31, bits 6:5, Register 0x6b, Register 0x6c, Register 0x6d, and Register 0x6e,
bits 7 and 6
The default figure of merit for the CTLE adaptation in the DS110RT410 is simple. The horizontal and vertical eye
openings are measured for each CTLE boost setting. The vertical eye opening is scaled to a constant reference
vertical eye opening and the smaller of the horizontal or vertical eye opening is taken as the figure of merit for
that set of equalizer settings. The objective is to adapt the equalizer to a point where the horizontal and vertical
eye openings are both as large as possible. This usually provides optimum bit error rate performance for most
transmission channels.
In some systems the adaptation can reach a better setting if only the horizontal or vertical eye opening is used to
compute the figure of merit rather than using both. This will be system-dependent and the user must determine
through experiment whether this provides better adaptation in the user's system.
The CTLE figure of merit type is selected using the two-bit field in register 0x31, bits 4:3.
For some transmission media the adaptation can reach a better setting if a different figure of merit is used. The
DS110RT410 includes the capability of adapting based on a configurable figure of merit. The configurable figure
of merit is structured as listed in Equation 1.
FOM = (HEO – b) x a + (VEO – c) x (1 – a)
(1)
In this equation, HEO is horizontal eye opening, VEO is vertical eye opening, FOM is the figure of merit, and the
factors a, b, and c are set using registers 0x6b, 0x6c, and 0x6d respectively.
In order to use the configurable figure of merit, the enable bits must be set. To use the configurable figure of
merit for the CTLE adaptation, set bit 7 of register 0x6e, the en_new_fom_ctle bit.
7.5.17 Setting the Rate and Subrate for Lock Acquisition
Register 0x2f, bits 7:6 and 5:4
The rate and subrate settings, which constrain the data rate search in order to reduce lock time, can be set using
channel register 0x2f. Bits 7:6 are RATE, and bits 5:4 are SUBRATE. These four bits form a hex digit
which matches the codes in Table 2.
7.5.18 Setting the Adaptation/Lock Mode
Register 0x31, bits 6:5, and Register 0x33, bits 7:4 and 3:0, Register 0x34, bits 3:0, Register 0x35, bits 4:0,
Register 0x3e, bit 7, and Register 0x6a
There are two adaptation modes available in the DS110RT410.
• Mode 0: The user is responsible for setting the CTLE. This mode is used if the transmission channel
response is fixed.
• Mode 1: The CTLE is adapted to equalize the transmission channel. This mode is primarily used for
smoothly-varying high-loss transmission channels such as cables and simple PCB traces.
Bits 6:5 of register 0x31 determine the adaptation mode to be used. The mapping of these register bits to the
adaptation algorithm is listed in Table 9.

ADAPTATION ALGORITHM
By default the DS110RT410 requires that the equalized internal eye exhibit horizontal and vertical eye openings
greater than a pre-set minimum in order to declare a successful lock. The minimum values are set in register
0x6a.
The DS110RT410 continuously monitors the horizontal and vertical eye openings while it is in lock. If the eye
opening falls below the threshold set in register 0x6a, the DS110RT410 will declare a loss of lock.

The continuous monitoring of the horizontal and vertical eye openings may be disabled by clearing bit 7 of
register 0x3e.
7.5.19 Initiating Adaptation
Register 0x24, bit 2, and Register 0x2f, bit 0
When the DS110RT410 becomes unlocked, it will automatically try to acquire lock. If an adaptation mode is
selected using bits 6:5 in register 0x31, the DS110RT410 will also try to adapt its CTLE.
Adaptation can also be initiated by the user. CTLE adaptation can be initiated by setting and then clearing
register 0x2f, bit 0.
7.5.20 Setting the Reference Enable Mode
Register 0x36, bits 5:4
The reference clock mode is set by a two-bit field, register 0x36, bits 5:4. This field should always be set to a
value of 3 or 2'b11.
A 25-MHz reference clock signal must be provided on the reference in pin (pin 19). The use of the reference
clock in the DS110RT410 is explained in the following.
First, the reference clock allows the DS110RT410 to calibrate its VCO frequency at power-up and upon reset.
This enables the DS110RT410 to determine the optimum coarse VCO tuning setting a-priori, which makes phase
lock much faster. The DS110RT410 is not required to tune through the available coarse VCO tuning settings as it
tries to acquire lock to an input signal. It can select the correct setting immediately.
Second, if the DS110RT410 loses lock for some reason and the VCO drifts from its phase-locked frequency, the
DS110RT410 can detect this very quickly using the reference clock. Detecting an out-of-lock condition quickly
allows the DS110RT410 to raise an interrupt indicating that it has lost lock quickly, which the system controller
can then service to correct the problem quickly.
Finally, some data signals with large jitter spurs in their frequency spectra can cause the DS110RT410 to false
lock. This occurs when the data pattern exhibits strong discrete frequency components in its frequency spectrum,
or when the data pattern has a lot of periodic jitter imposed on it. If you look at such a signal in the frequency
domain using a spectrum analyzer, it will clearly show “spurs” close in to the fundamental data rate frequency.
These spurs can cause the DS110RT410 to false lock.
Using the 25-MHz reference clock, the DS110RT410 can detect when it is locked to a jitter spur. When this
happens, the DS110RT410 will re-initiate the adaptation and lock sequence until it locks to the correct data rate.
This provides immunity to false lock conditions.

7.5.21 Overriding the CTLE Settings Used for CTLE Adaptation
Register 0x2c, bits 3:0, Register 0x2f, bit 3, Register 0x39, bits 4:0, and Registers 0x50-0x5f
The CTLE adaptation algorithm operates by setting the CTLE boost stage controls to a set of pre-determined
boost settings, each of which provides progressively more high-frequency boost. At each stage in the adaptation
process, the DS110RT410 attempts to phase lock to the equalized signal. If the phase lock succeeds, the
DS110RT410 measures the horizontal and vertical eye openings using the internal eye monitor circuit. The
DS110RT410 computes a figure of merit for the eye opening and compares it to the previous best value of the
figure of merit. While the figure of merit continues to improve, the DS110RT410 continues to try additional values
of the CTLE boost setting until the figure of merit ceases to improve and begins to degrade. When the figure of
merit starts to degrade, the DS110RT410 still continues to try additional CTLE settings for a pre-determined trial
count called the “look-beyond” count, and if no improvement in the figure of merit results, it resets the CTLE
boost values to those that produced the best figure of merit. The resulting CTLE boost values are then stored in
register 0x03. The “look-beyond” count is configured by the value in register 0x2c, bits 3:0. The value is 0x2 by
default.
The set of boost values used as candidate values during CTLE adaptation are stored as bit fields in registers
0x40-0x5f. The default values for these settings are listed in Table 10. These values may be overridden by
setting the corresponding register values over the SMBus. If these values are overridden, then the next time the
CTLE adaptation is performed the set of CTLE boost values stored in these registers will be used for the
adaptation. Resetting the channel registers by setting bit 2 of channel register 0x00 will reset the CTLE boost
settings to their defaults. So will power-cycling the DS110RT410.

As an alternative to, or in conjunction with, writing the CTLE boost setting registers 0x40 through 0x5f, it is
possible to set the starting CTLE boost setting index. To override the default setting, which is 0, set bit 3 of
register 0x2f. When this bit is set, the starting index for adaptation comes from register 0x39, bits 4:0. This is the
index into the CTLE settings table in registers 0x40 through 0x5f. When this starting index is 0, which is the
default, CTLE adaptation starts at the first setting in the table, the one in register 0x40, and continues until the
optimum FOM is reached.
7.5.22 Setting the Output Differential Voltage
Register 0x2d, bits 2:0
There are eight levels of output differential voltage available in the DS110RT410, from 0.6 V to 1.3 V in 0.1 V
increments. The values drv_sel_vod[2:0] in bits 2:0 of register 0x2d set the output VOD. The available VOD
settings and the corresponding values of this bit field are listed in Table 11.

7.6 Register Maps
7.6.1 Register Information
There are two types of device registers in the DS110RT410. These are the control/shared registers and the
channel registers. The control/shared registers control or allow observation of settings which affect the operation
of all channels of the DS110RT410. They are also used to select which channel of the device is to be the target
channel for reads from and writes to the channel registers.
The channel registers are used to set all the configuration settings of the DS110RT410. They provide
independent control for each channel of the DS110RT410 for all the settable device characteristics.
Any registers not described in the tables that follow should be treated as reserved. The user should not try to
write new values to these registers. The user-accessible registers described in the tables that follow provide a
complete capability for customizing the operation of the DS110RT410 on a channel-by-channel basis.
7.6.2 Bit Fields in the Register Set
Many of the registers in the DS110RT410 are divided into bit fields. This allows a single register to serve multiple
purposes, which may be unrelated.
Often configuring the DS110RT410 requires writing a bit field that makes up only part of a register value while
leaving the remainder of the register value unchanged. The procedure for accomplishing this is to read in the
current value of the register to be written, modify only the desired bits in this value, and write the modified value
back to the register. Of course, if the entire register is to be changed, rather than just a bit field within the
register, it is not necessary to read in the current value of the register first.
In all the register configuration procedures described in the following sections, this procedure should be kept in
mind. In some cases, the entire register is to be modified. When only a part of the register is to be changed,
however, the procedure described previously should be used.
7.6.3 Writing to and Reading from the Control/Shared Registers
Any write operation targeting register 0xff writes to the control/shared register 0xff. This is the only register in the
DS110RT410 with an address of 0xff.
Bit 2 of register 0xff is used to select either the control/shared register set or a channel register set. If bit 2 of
register 0xff is cleared (written with a 0), then all subsequent read and write operations over the SMBus are
directed to the control/shared register set. This situation persists until bit 2 of register 0xff is set (written with a 1).
There is a register with address 0x00 in the control/shared register set, and there is also a register with address
0x00 in each channel register set. If you read the value in register 0x00 when bit 2 of register 0xff is cleared to 0,
then the value returned by the DS110RT410 is the value in register 0x00 of the control/shared register set. If you
read the value in register 0x00 when bit 2 of register 0xff is set to 1, then the value returned by the DS110RT410
is the value in register 0x00 of the selected channel register set. The channel register set is selected by bits 1:0
of register 0xff.

Register Maps (continued)
If bit 3 of register 0xff is set to 1 and bit 2 of register 0xff is also set to 1, then any write operation to any register
address will write all the channel register sets in the DS110RT410 simultaneously. This situation will persist until
either bit 3 of register 0xff or bit 2 of register 0xff is cleared. Note that when you write to register 0xff,
independent of the current settings in register 0xff, the write operation ALWAYS targets the control/shared
register 0xff. This channel select register, register 0xff, is unique in this regard.
Table 13 lists the control/shared register set. Any register addresses or register bits in the control/shared register
set not listed in this table should be considered reserved. In this table, the mode is either R for Read-Only, R/W
for Read-Write, or R/W/SC for Read-Write-Self-Clearing. If you try to write to a Read-Only register, the
DS110RT410 will ignore it.

7.6.4 Channel Select Register
Register 0xff, bits 3:0
Register 0xff, as described in Table 13, selects the channel or channels for channel register reads and writes. It
is worth describing the operation of this register again for clarity. If bit 3 of register 0xff is set, then any channel
register write applies to all channels. Channel register read operations always target only the channel specified in
bits 1:0 of register 0xff regardless of the state of bit 3 of register 0xff. Read and write operations target the
channel register sets only when bit 2 of register 0xff is set.
Bit 2 of register 0xff is the universal channel register enable. This bit must be set in order for any channel register
reads and writes to occur. If this bit is set, then read operations from or write operations to register 0x00, for
example, target channel register 0x00 for the selected channel rather than the control/shared register 0x00. In
order to access the control/shared registers again, bit 2 of register 0xff should be cleared. Then the
control/shared registers can again be accessed using the SMBus. Write operations to register 0xff always target
the register with address 0xff in the control/shared register set. There is no other register, and specifically, no
channel register, with address 0xff.
The contents of the channel select register, register 0xff, cannot be read back over the SMBus. Read operations
on this register will always yield an invalid result. All eight bits of this register should always be set to the desired
values whenever this register is written. Always write 0x0 to the four MSBs of register 0xff. The register set target
selected by each valid value written to the channel select register is listed in Table 14.

7.6.5 Reading to and Writing from the Channel Registers
Each of the four channels has a complete set of channel registers associated with it. The channel registers or the
control/shared registers are selected by channel select register 0xff. The settings in this register control the target
for subsequent register reads and writes until the contents of register 0xff are explicitly changed by a register
write to register 0xff. As noted, there is only one register with an address of 0xff, the channel select register.

FIELD NAME
DESCRIPTION
HEO value, requires CDR to be locked for valid measurement
HEO3
VEO value, requires CDR to be locked for valid measurement
Use these bits to read back the EOM voltage range setting:
00: ±100 mV
01: ±200 mV
10: ±300 mV
11: ±400 mV
Controls the amount of time the EOM samples each point in the
eye for. The total counter bit width is 16-bits. This register is the
upper 8-bits. The counter counts in 32-bit words. Therefore, the
total number of bits is 32 times this value
These bits set the number of hits for a particular phase and
voltage location in the EOM before the EOM will indicate a hit has
occurred. This filtering only affects the HEO measurement. Filter
threshold ranges from 0 to 15 hits.
Scale VEO based on EOM vrange

After achieving lock, the CDR continues to monitor the lock
criteria. If the lock criteria fail, the lock is checked for a total of N
number of times before declaring an out of lock condition, where N
is set by this the value in these registers, with a max value of +3,
for a total of 4. If during the N lock checks, lock is regained, then
the lock condition is left HI, and the counter is reset back to zero.

DESCRIPTION
These bits set the threshold for the HEO and VEo interrupt. Each
threshold bit represents 8 counts of HEO or VEO.
Reserved for future use.
Modifies the value of the ppm delta tolerance from channel register
0x64:
00 - ppm_delta[7:0] =1 x ppm_delta[7:0]
01 - ppm_delta[7:0] =1 x ppm_delta[7:0] + ppm_delta[3:1]
10 - ppm_delta[7:0] =2 x ppm_delta[7:0]
11 - ppm_delta[7:0] =2 x ppm_delta[7:0] + ppm_delta[3:1]
Get ppm error from ppm_count - clears when done. Normally
updates continuously, but can be manually triggered with read
value from channel register 0x3B and 0x3C

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The DS110RT410 is a 4-channel retimer that supports many different data rates and application spaces.
The following sections describe the typical use cases and common implementation practices.
8.2 Typical Application
Figure 6 shows a typical system implementation, where the DS110RT410 is used both on the backplane and port
side.

8.2.1 Design Requirements
This section lists some critical areas for high speed printed circuit board design consideration and study.
• Use 100-Ω differential impedance traces.
• Back-drill connector vias and signal vias to minimize stub length.
• Use reference plane vias to ensure a low inductance path for the return current.
• Place AC-coupling capacitors for the transmitter links near the receiver for that channel.
• The maximum body size for AC-coupling capacitors is 0402.

Typical Application (continued)
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
To begin the design process:
• Determine the maximum power draw for PCB regulator selection. For this calculation, use the maximum
transient power supply current specified in the data sheet. The lock time for each channel is typically very
short, so this power calculation should not be used for the thermal simulations of the PCB.
• Determine the maximum operational power for thermal calculations. For this calculation, use the Average
Power Consumption value in Electrical Characteristics.
• Select a reference clock frequency and routing scheme.
• Plan out channel connectivity. Be sure to note any desired polarity inversion routing in the board schematics.
• Ensure that each device has a unique SMBus address if the control bus is shared with other devices or
components.
• Use the IBIS-AMI model for simple channel simulations before PCB layout is complete.
8.2.3 Application Curves
Figure 7 shows a typical output eye diagram for the DS110RT410 operating at 10.3125 Gbps with default VOD
of 600 mVp-p and de-emphasis setting of –2 dB.
Figure 8 shows an example of TX de-emphasis for a DS110RT410 operating at 10.3125 Gbps. In this example,
the high speed output is configured for 600 mVp-p VOD and de-emphasis is set to –4.5 dB. An 8T pattern is
used to evaluate the driver, which consists of 0xFF00.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
Figure 9 depicts an example power connections diagram for the DS110RT410. 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 0.1-μF bypass capacitor should be connected to each VDD Pin such that the
capacitor is placed as close as possible to the DS110RT410. Smaller body size capacitors can help facilitate
proper component placement. Additionally, capacitor with capacitance in the range of 1 µF to 10 µF should be
incorporated in the power supply bypassing design as well. These capacitors can be either tantalum or an ultralow ESR ceramic.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The CML inputs and outputs have been optimized to work with interconnects using a controlled differential
impedance of 100 Ω. It is preferable to route differential 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. Whenever differential vias
are used the layout must also provide for a low inductance path for the return currents as well. Route the
differential signals away from other signals and noise sources on the printed circuit board. See AN-1187
Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) Application Report (SNOA401) for additional information on QFN (WQFN)
packages.
10.2 Layout Example
To minimize the effects of crosstalk, a 5:1 ratio or greater should be maintained between inter-pair spacing.
Figure 10 depicts different transmission line topologies that can be used in various combinations to achieve the
optimal system performance. Impedance discontinuities at the differential via can be minimized or eliminated by
increasing the swell around each hole and providing for a low inductance return current path. When the via
structure is associated with thick backplane PCB, further optimization such as back drilling is often used to
reduce the detrimental high frequency effects of stubs on the signal path.
