General Description
The SY58626L high-speed, low jitter transmit buffer is
optimi zed for bac kplane and tr ansmiss ion line data-path
management applications in Automatic Test Equipment
(ATE) and Test & Measurement (T&M) systems. The
buff er includes a CML c ompatibl e, variable s wing outp ut
with selectable pre-emphasis. The SY58626L is
capable of driving serial data from DC through 6.4Gbps
with a 3VPP (1.5VPK single ended) differential swing.
The SY58626L differential input includes Micrel’s
unique, 3-pin input termination architecture that directly
interfaces to any DC- or AC-coupled, differential signal
as small as 100mVPK without any termination resistor
networks in the signal path. The outputs are 50Ω
source-terminated CML with a programmable output
swing from 200mVPP to 3VPP (100mVPK to 1.5VPK).
The S Y58626L includes an outp ut stage that provides 4
levels of pre-emphasis. The output pre-emphasis level is
programmed with a three-bit interface. Unlike other
transmitter solutions, the output pre-emphasis duration
can be programmed from 60ps to 400ps.
The SY58626L operates at 3.3V ±10% supply and is
guaranteed over the commercial temperature range of
0°C to +70°C . The SY5862 6L transm itter is optim ized to
work with the SY5 8627L re ceiver . T he SY58626L is p art
of Micrel’s high-speed, Precision Edge® product line.
