DESCRIPTION
Quellan’s Q:ACTIVE® Technology is the first silicon-based solution developed specifically for copper interconnect applications. Integrating Q:ACTIVE components into each end of a copper cable assembly boosts the signal and reduces noise to provide a dramatic decrease in cable gauge and an increase in cable reach - up to three times that of a passive cable. Integrating Quellan ICs into linecards, switch cards and backplanes provides dramatic improvement in signal integrity of these interconnects.
This allows the use of cost effective PCB laminates while also employing simpler ASICS without complex signal conditioning techniques.
The QLx4600 is a settable quad equalizer with optimized for 4G Fibre Channel operation. The equalizer compensates for frequency dependent attenuation of non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data and extends the signal reach to over 30m on 24AWG cable at data rates up to 6.25 Gbps. The small form factor, highly-integrated quad design is also ideal for high-density 4 lane PCB applications, making it an attractive solution to improve the performance of Fibre Channel switch products.
The equalizer is available in two versions: with Impedance Select feature and with Individual Lane LOS support.
