VSC7224, VSC7224-01, and VSC7224-02 4-Channel Multirate Adaptive Retimer Microsemis EQNOX family of advanced unidirectional adaptive Highlights retimers equalize deteriorated input signals while dissipating the lowest World-class adaptive equalization possible power. Up to 12.5 Gbps operation The VSC7224 devices are 4-channel unidirectional adaptive channel 18 dB programmable output de-emphasis extenders with CDR. They incorporate analog and digital equalization, Retimer and redriver modes clock and data recovery, and output de-emphasis. VSC7224 supports Built-in VScope data rates up to 12.5 Gbps. VSC7224-01 supports data rates up to 11.5 Gbps. VSC7224-02 supports data rates up to 10.3 Gbps. On-chip frequency synthesizers The VSC7224 devices are simple-to-use copper media receivers Applications and drivers that provide electrical compensation to cable, copper, Line, backplane, and copper cable driver, and backplane environments to increase system margin and media receiver, and retimer driving distances. Target applications include Ethernet, Fibre Channel, PCB signal enhancement Infiniband, CPRI, OTN, and many others, accomodating a wide collection of both standard and proprietary protocols. They equalize Optical module retimer and receiver greater than 40 inches of FR-4 at 10 Gbps and greater than 10 m of 24AWG of copper direct-attached cable at 10 Gbps. The VSC7224 devices can be used either on their own or with an external microcontroller to control, monitor, and enhance system performance. The VSC7224 devices feature Microsemis proprietary FlexEQ technology to equalize deteriorated input signals while dissipating the lowest possible power. A low-cost 25 MHz crystal, along with on-chip frequency synthesizers, allows for CDR operation at any data rate. Its three-tap FIR output driver architecture enables up to 18 dB of de- emphasis. The VSC7224 devices include Microsemis patented VScope input signal monitoring integrated circuit signal monitoring and waveform viewing technology.
