GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC6545 is a low power, high performance, fully
programmable, dual-channel, asynchronous advanced linear
equalizer that operates at data rates of up to 32 Gbps. The
HMC6545 is protocol and data rate agnostic, and it can operate
on the transmit path to predistort a transmitted signal to invert
channel distortion or on the receiver path to equalize the
distorted and attenuated received signal. The HMC6545 is
effective in dealing with chromatic and polarization mode
dispersion and intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by a wide
variety of transmission media (backplane or fiber) and channel
lengths.
input of the FFE. The 9-tap FFE is programmed via 2-wire
interface to generate wide range frequency responses that are
precursor or postcursor in nature for compensating signal
impairments. After FFE tap coefficients are summed at the
summing node, the signal is received by a linear output driver.
DC offset correction circuitry is controlled either automatically
or manually via Forward Error Correction (FEC).
All high speed differential inputs and outputs of the HMC6545 are
current mode logic (CML) and terminated on chip with 50 Ω to
the positive supply, 3.3 V, and can be dc-coupled or ac-coupled.
The inputs and outputs of the HMC6545 can be operated either
differentially or single-ended. The low power, high performance,
and feature rich HMC6545 is packaged in a 5 mm × 5 mm,
32-lead LFCSP package. The device uses a single 3.3 V supply,
eliminating external regulators. The HMC6545 operates over a
−40°C to +95°C temperature range.
The HMC6545 consists of an automatic gain control (AGC);
dc offset correction circuitry; a 9-tap, 18 ps spaced feedforward
equalizer (FFE); a summing node; and a linear programmable
output driver. The input AGC linearly attenuates or amplifies
the distorted input signal to generate a constant voltage at the
