DS125BR401A
SNLS466A – SEPTEMBER 2013 – REVISED MARCH 2014
DS125BR401A Low-Power 12 Gbps 4-Lane Linear Repeater With Equalization
1 Features
3 Description
•
The DS125BR401A is an extremely low-power highperformance repeater/redriver designed to support
four lanes carrying high speed interface up to 12
Gbps. The B-Side receiver's continuous time linear
equalizers (CTLE) provide high frequency boost of up
to +24 dB at 6 GHz (12 Gbps) and are capable of
opening an input eye that is completely closed due to
inter symbol interference (ISI) induced by
interconnect medium such as backplane traces or
twinaxial copper cables. The programmable
equalization allows maximum flexibility in the physical
placement within the interconnect channel. The ASide channel has a 10 dB linear equalizer and linear
output driver.

SAS/SATA
PCI Express
Other Proprietary Interfaces up to 12 Gbps
The A-Side channel has a settable 3-10 dB linear
equalizer coupled to a linear output driver. When
operating in SAS-3 and PCIe Gen-3 applications the
DS125BR401A
preserves
transmit
signal
characteristics allowing the host controller and the
end point to negotiate transmit equalizer coefficients.
This transparency to the link training protocol aides
system level interoperability and minimum latency.
The programmable settings can be applied easily via
Terminals, software (SMBus or I2C), or loaded via an
external EEPROM. In EEPROM mode, the
configuration information is automatically loaded on
power up, which eliminates the need for an external
microprocessor or software driver.

LVCMOS inputs without the “Float” conditions must be driven to a logic low or high at all times or operation is not ensured.
Input edge rate for LVCMOS/FLOAT inputs must be faster than 50 ns from 10–90%.
For 3.3V mode operation, VIN Terminal input = 3.3V and the logic "1" reference for the 4-level input is 3.3V.
For 2.5V mode operation, VDD Terminal output= 2.5V and the logic "1" reference for the 4-level input is 2.5V.

DEMA[1:0] controls the CHA output amplitude. The Terminals are
defined as DEMA[1:0] only when ENSMB is de-asserted (low). Each of
the 4 A channels have the same level unless controlled by the SMBus

converted to SCL and SDA. See Table 7.

Controls the internal Signal Detect Threshold on the INB-OUTB
Channels. For CHB, the signal detect is used to bring the output into and
out of IDLE. This allows the OOB signaling to pass with minimal
distortion.

The RXDET Terminal controls the receiver detect function. Depending on

“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

In SAS-3 and PCIe GEN3 mode, the output VOD level is not fixed. It will be adjusted automatically based on the VID input amplitude
level. The output VOD level set by DEMA/B[1:0] in this mode BOUTn is dependent on the VID level and the frequency content. The
DS125BR401A repeater is designed to be transparent in this mode, so the TX-FIR (de-emphasis) is passed to the RX to support the
handshake negotiation link training.

50KΩ). MODE_B setting is also Terminal controllable with Terminal selections (Gen 1/2, auto detect, and
SAS-3 / PCIe Gen 3). The receiver electrical signal detect threshold is also adjustable via the SD_TH
Terminal. For A-Side Channels this can only be used for status information, on B-Side Channels this
threshold will determine when the output state, Mute if no signal is present or active with a valid input signal
detected .
7.4.2 SMBus Mode:
When in SMBus mode (ENSMB = 1), the VOD (output amplitude), equalization, de-emphasis, and
termination disable features are all programmable on a individual lane basis, instead of grouped by A or B as
in the Terminal mode case. Upon assertion of ENSMB, the EQx and DEMx functions revert to register
control immediately. The EQx and DEMx Terminals are converted to AD0-AD3 SMBus address inputs. The
other external control Terminals (MODE_B, RXDET and SD_TH) remain active unless their respective
registers are written to and the appropriate override bit is set, in which case they are ignored until ENSMB is
driven low (Terminal mode). On power-up or when ENSMB is driven low all registers are reset to their default
state. If PWDN is asserted while ENSMB is high, the registers retain their current state.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
Equalization settings accessible via the Terminal controls were chosen to meet the needs of most high speed
applications. If additional fine tuning or adjustment is needed, additional equalization settings can be
accessed via the SMBus registers. Each input has a total of 256 possible equalization settings. The tables
show the 16 settings when the device is in Terminal mode. When using SMBus mode, the equalization, VOD
and de- Emphasis levels are set by registers.
The 4-level input Terminals utilize a resistor divider to help set the 4 valid levels and provide a wider range of
control settings when ENSMB=0. There is an internal 30K pull-up and a 60K pull-down connected to the
package Terminal. These resistors, together with the external resistor connection combine to achieve the
desired voltage level. Using the 1K pull-up, 1K pull-down, no connect, and 20K pull-down provide the optimal
voltage levels for each of the four input states.

7.4.3 MODE operation with SMBus Registers
When in SMBus mode (Slave or Master), the MODE Terminal retains control of the output driver characteristics.
In order to override this control function, Register 0x08[2] must be written with a "1". Writing this bit enables
MODE control of each channel individually using the channel registers defined in Table 9. For Channel-A outputs
the MODE control bit is not functional. The outputs are always in a linear mode of operation. Changing these bits
while Register 0x08[2]=1 will dramatically reduce the output amplitude.
