Multi-Link Multi-Protocol SerDes 10Gbps in GF 28SLP

Overview

Terminus Circuits offers low power, low latency Multistandard SerDes in TSMC 28nm process node to support wide range of standards like PCI Express, SATA, XFI, USB, XAUI etc.

Key Features

  • Configurable parallel data widths of 8 / 16 / 32 –bit
  • Input reference 125MHz to support 2.5/5/10G data rates & 100MHz to support 2.5/5/8/16G data rates
  • Tight control over termination resistor (~50 Ohm) with on chip calibration
  • Tight skew control of 1UI between lanes of the PMA
  • Multi-tap Tx Finite Impulse Response (FIR) equalizer with multi-level de-emphasis
  • Continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) with programmable settings providing up to 12dB gain peaking at Nyquist frequencies
  • Programmable/automatic calibration of key circuits (pre-emphasis, eye-diagram monitoring / DFE tap calibration / offset calibration)
  • CDR logic for better data alignment and locking
  • Support for bifurcation and quadfurcation modes
  • Multi-tap Rx DFE (decision feedback equalizer)
  • Programmable internal/external
