The receiver's continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) provides a boost of 3-10 dB at 6 GHz in each channel. When operating in SAS-3 or PCIe Gen-3 applications, the DS125BR111 preserves transmit signal characteristics allowing the host controller and the end point to negotiate transmit equalizer coefficients. Transparency to the link training protocol maximizes the flexibility of the physical placement of the device within the interconnect and improves overall channel performance. The programmable settings can be applied easily via pins, softw...
