DATASHEET QLx4600-SL30 FN6981 Rev 2.00 Quad Lane Extender April 15, 2016 The QLx4600-SL30 is a settable quad receive-side equalizer Features with extended functionality for advanced protocols operating Supports data rates up to 6.25Gb/s with line rates up to 6.25Gb/s such as 4k video capable DisplayPort v1.2 (HBR1/2), InfiniBand (SDR and DDR) and Low power (78mW per channel) 10GBase-CX4. The QLx4600-SL30 compensates for the Low latency (<500ps) frequency dependent attenuation of copper twin-axial cables, Four equalizers in a 4mmx7mm QFN package for straight extending the signal reach up to 30m on 24AWG cable. route-through architecture and simplified routing The small form factor, highly-integrated quad design is ideal Each equalizer boost is independently pin selectable and for high-density data transmission applications including programmable active copper cable assemblies. The four equalizing filters within the QLx4600-SL30 can each be set to one of 32 Beacon signal support and line silence preservation compensation levels, providing optimal signal fidelity for a 1.2V supply voltage given media and length. The compensation level for each filter Individual lane LOS support can be set by either (a) three external control pins or (b) a serial bus interface. When the external control pins are used, Applications 18 of the 32 boost levels are available for each channel. If the serial bus is used, all 32 compensation levels are available. DisplayPort v1.2 active copper cable modules Operating on a single 1.2V power supply, the QLx4600-SL30 QSFP active copper cable modules enables per channel throughputs of up to 6.25Gb/s while InfiniBand (SDR and DDR) supporting lower data rates including 5, 4.25, 3.125 and 10GBase-CX4 2.5Gb/s. The QLx4600-SL30 uses Current Mode Logic (CML) inputs/outputs and is packaged in a 4mmx7mm 46 Ld QFN. XAUI and RXAUI, SAS (2.0) Individual lane LOS support is included for module High-speed Printed Circuit Board (PCB) traces applications. Benefits Thinner gauge cable Extends cable reach greater than 3x Improved BER FIGURE 1.
