SNLA492 September 2025 TDP2004-Q1
The TDP2004-Q1 receivers feature a continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) that applies high-frequency boost and low-frequency attenuation to help equalize the frequency-dependent insertion loss effects of the passive channel. The receivers implement two stage linear equalizer for wide range of equalization capability. The equalizer stages also provide flexibility to make subtle modifications of mid-frequency boost for best EQ gain profile match with wide range of channel media characteristics. The EQ profile control feature is only available in SMBus/I2C mode. In Pin mode the settings are optimized for FR4 traces.
Table 4-1 provides available equalization boost at 20Gbps (10GHz Nyquist frequency) through EQ control pins or SMBus/I2C registers. In Pin Control mode EQ1 and EQ0 pins set equalization boost for channels 0-3. In I2C mode individual channels can be independently programmed for EQ boost.
