DS50EV401
2.5 Gbps / 5.0 Gbps / 8.0 Gbps Quad PCI Express Cable and Backplane Equalizer
General Description
The DS50EV401 is a low power, programmable equalizer specifically designed for PCI Express applications. The de­vice provides 2 equalization settings to reduce inter-symbol interference (ISI) induced by a variety of interconnect media. One setting is optimized for PCIe Gen1 and Gen2 applica­tions; the other is optimized for future Gen3 data rates. In all modes, the equalizer can operate, error free, with an input eye that is completely closed by interconnect ISI. A single pin, MODE, allows the user to change between these two modes.
The DS50EV401 enables PCI Express compatible link ex­tension by supporting transmit electrical idle, and Beacon signal pass through on a per lane basis. Current-mode logic (CML) is used on both input and output terminals, which pro­vide constant 50 ohm single-ended impedance to AC ground. Differential signaling is implemented through out the entire signal path to minimize supply induced jitter. The DS50EV401 is available in a 7mm x 7mm 48-pin leadless LLP package, and is powered from a single power supply of either 3.3 or
2.5V.

DS50EV401 Applications Information
The DS50EV401 is a programmable quad equalizer opti­mized for PCI Express applications. It is designed to operate over copper backplanes and cables at transmission rates of
2.5 Gbps up to 8 Gbps. The device consists of an input re­ceive equalizer followed by a limiting amplifier. The equalizer is designed to open an input eye that is completely closed due to inter-symbol interference (ISI) induced by the channel in­terconnect. The equalization is set to keep residual determin­istic jitter below 0.2 unit intervals (UI) regardless of data rate. This equalization scheme allows 1 equalization setting to sat­isfy both Gen1 and Gen2 links, eliminating the need for inter­action between the equalizer and PCI Express endpoint
during link negotiation. The DS50EV401 is intended as a uni­directional receiver that should be placed in close physical proximity to the end point. Therefore the transmitter does not include de-emphasis as TX equalization would not be needed over the short distance between the equalizer and the end point.
In order to enable PCI compliant link extension the DS50EV401 will put the transmitter into electrical idle mode when no active data is sensed on its inputs. Idle is controlled on a per lane basis, and is solely dependent on activity of a particular channel’s input activity. 50 ohm termination is main­tained on both the RX and TX terminals in electrical idle mode. The DS50EV401 internal signal path is designed to be broad band, allowing the Beacon Wakeup signal to pass through to the endpoint device.

FIGURE 5. Simplified Block Diagram
DATA CHANNELS
The DS50EV401 consists of four data channels. Each chan­nel provides input termination, receiver equalization, signal limiting, offset cancellation, and a CML output driver, as shown in Figure 5. The data channels support two levels of equalization, controlled by the pin MODE. The equalization levels are set simultaneously on all 4 channels, as described in Table 1.
When an idle condition is sensed on a channel’s input, the transmit driver is automatically placed into electrical idle
mode, as shown in Figure 6. The common mode voltage is set, and the differential output is forced to zero. To save pow­er, the output driver current is powered off when the device is in electrical idle mode. All other circuits maintain their bias currents allowing a fast recovery from idle to the active state. Electric idle is performed on a per channel basis, and several channels can be in idle while others are actively passing data.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The DS50EV401 is a high performance device capable of delivering excellent performance. In order to extract full per­formance from the device in a particular application, good high-speed design practices must be followed. National Semiconductor’s LVDS Owner's Manual, 4th edition provides detailed information about managing signal integrity and pow­er delivery to get the most from your design.
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS FOR DIFFERENTIAL PAIRS
The CML inputs and outputs must have a controlled differen­tial impedance of 100. It is preferable to route CML lines exclusively on one layer of the board, particularly for the input traces. The use of vias should be avoided if possible. If vias must be used, they should be used sparingly and must be placed symmetrically for each side of a given differential pair. Route the CML signals away from other signals and noise sources on the printed circuit board. See AN-1187 for addi­tional information on LLP packages..
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
Two approaches are recommended to ensure that the DS50EV401 is provided with an adequate power supply. First, the supply (VDD) and ground (GND) pins should be connected to power planes routed on adjacent layers of the printed circuit board. The layer thickness of the dielectric should be minimized so that the VDD and GND planes create a low inductance supply with distributed capacitance. Sec­ond, careful attention to supply bypassing through the proper use of bypass capacitors is required. A 0.01μF bypass ca­pacitor should be connected to each VDD pin such that the capacitor is placed as close as possible to the DS50EV401. Smaller body size capacitors can help facilitate proper com­ponent placement. Additionally, three capacitors with capac­itance in the range of 2.2 μF to 10 μF should be incorporated in the power supply bypassing design as well. These capac­itors can be either tantalum or an ultra-low ESR ceramic and should be placed as close as possible to the DS50EV401.
