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 Q:ACTIVE 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 QLx4300 is a settable quad equalizer optimized for 3G SAS/SATA operation. The equalizer compensates for frequency dependent attenuation of non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data and extends the signal reach to over 40m on 24AWG cable at 3.125 Gbps. The small form factor, highly-integrated quad design is ideal for high-density 4 lane cable and PCB applications. The muting (DC idle) feature with tight timing control enables support of SAS/SATA protocol features such as Out-of-Band (OOB) signaling.
The equalizer is available with Impedance Select feature.
