Highlights
• Up to 10.3 Gbps asynchronous operation
• Low power modes
• Static and programmable input equalization
• Programmable transmit output
Applications
• 10 GbE high-speed cable and backplane
equalization
The VSC7113 device is a quad-channel asynchronous buffer that
simplifi es high-speed signal path designs (up to 10.3 Gbps) by
providing dual 2 x 2 crosspoint functionality along with input and output
equalization capabilities. Low power modes allow the device to scale
power depending on data rate, and unused ports can be completely
powered down.
Programmable and static equalization settings provide a comprehensive
solution for countering signal degradation over a wide variety of
interconnect transmission paths, including copper and optical media.
The device can be confi gured for pass-through 4-channel buffer, dual
2 × 2 matrix, dual 1:2 duocast, or dual 2:1 selector confi gurations. All
signal inputs and outputs are fully differential.
VSC7113 operates from a single 2.5 V supply and supports an
extended temperature range of –40 °C to 110 °C. It is offered in a
compact, 32-pin, 5 mm × 5 mm QFN package.
