TRANSMITTERS
Output Structure and Output Levels
The ADN8102 transmitter outputs incorporate 50 Ω termina-
tion resistors, ESD protection, and an output current switch. Each
port provides control of both the absolute output level and the
pre-emphasis output level. It should be noted that the choice of
output level affects the output common-mode level. A 600 mV
peak-to-peak differential output level with full pre-emphasis
range requires an output termination voltage of 2.5 V or greater
(VTTO, VCC ≥ 2.5 V).

Figure 41. Simplified Output Structure
Pre-Emphasis
The total output amplitude and pre-emphasis setting space is
reduced to a single map of basic settings that provide seven
settings of output equalization to ease programming for typical
channels. The PE_A/PE_B[1:0] pins provide selections 0, 2, 4,
and 6 of the seven pre-emphasis settings through toggle pin
control, covering the entire range of settings at lower resolution.
The full resolution of seven settings is available through the I2C
interface by writing to Bits[2:0] (PE[2:0] of the OUT_A/OUT_B
configuration registers) with I2C settings overriding the toggle
pin control. Similar to the receiver settings, the ADN8102 allows
joint control of all four channels in a transmit port.
Table 15summarizes the absolute output level, pre-emphasis level, and
high frequency boost for each of the basic control settings and
the typical length of the CX4 cable and FR4 trace that each
setting compensates.
Full control of the transmit output levels is available through the
I2C control interface. This full control is achieved by writing to
the OUT_A/OUT_B Output Level Control[1:0] registers for the
channel of interest.
Table 17 shows the supported output level
settings of the OUT_A/OUT_B Output Level Control[1:0]
registers. Register settings not listed in
Table 17 are not
supported by the ADN8102.
The output equalization is optimized for less than 1.75 Gbps
operation but can be optimized for higher speed applications at
up to 3.75 Gbps through the I2C control interface by writing to
the DATA RATE bit (Bit 4) of the OUT_A/OUT_B configuration
registers, with high representing 3.75 Gbps and low representing
1.75 Gbps. The PE CTL SRC bit (Bit 7) in the OUT_A/OUT_B
Output Level Control 1 register determines whether the pre-
emphasis and output current controls for the channel of interest
are selected from the optimized map or directly from the OUT_A/
OUT_B Output Level Control[1:0] registers (per channel). Setting
this bit high selects pre-emphasis control directly from the
OUT_A/OUT_B Output Level Control[1:0] registers, and setting
it low selects pre-emphasis control from the optimized map.
