PRODUCTION DATA.
OUT0 is a 100-Ω driver output. OUT0 serves as a host-side loop-back output. OUT0 also supports polarity inversion.
The driver offers users the capability to select higher output amplitude and de-emphasis levels for longer board trace that connects the drivers to their downstream receivers. Driver de-emphasis provides transmitter equalization to reduce the ISI caused by the board trace.
The VOD and de-emphasis levels for OUT0 are set by default to 570 mVp-p and –0.4 dB, and these values are recommended for driving 1-2 inches of board trace from OUT0± at 11.88 Gbps. These settings can be changed through register control if desired. When these parameters are controlled by registers, the VOD and de-emphasis levels can be programmed independently. For more information, refer to the LMH1228 and LMH1208 Programming Guide (SNAU206).
