6.1 Overview

The DS160PR410-Q1 is a four channel multi-rate linear repeater with integrated signal conditioning. The device's signal channels operate independently from one another. Each channel includes a continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) and a linear output driver, which together compensate for a lossy transmission channel between the source transmitter and the final receiver. The linearity of the data path is specifically designed to preserve any transmit equalization while keeping receiver equalization effective.

The DS160PR410-Q1 can be configured three different ways:

Pin mode – device control configuration is done solely by strap pins. Pin mode is expected to be good enough for many system implementation needs.

SMBus/I2C Controller mode – device control configuration is read from external EEPROM. When the DS160PR410-Q1 has finished reading from the EEPROM successfully, it will drive the DONEn pin LOW. SMBus/I2C target operation is available in this mode before, during, or after EEPROM reading. Note: during EEPROM reading, if the external SMBus/I2C controller wants to access DS160PR410-Q1 registers, then it must support arbitration. The mode is preferred when software implementation is not desired.

SMBus/I2C Target mode – provides most flexibility. Requires a SMBus/I2C controller device to configure DS160PR410-Q1 though writing to its target address.
