SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Receive Path Configurations
The diagram in Figure 2 shows a typical system
application for the XRT7295AE. In the receive signal
path (see Figure 1), the internal equalizer can be
included by setting REQB=0 or bypass by setting
REQB=1. The equalizer bypass option allows easy
interfacing of the XRT7295AE into systems already
containing the external equalizers. Figure 3 illustrates
the receive path option for two separate cases.
In case 1, the signal from the coaxial cable feeds
directly into the R
IN
input. In this mode, the user should
set REQB=0, engaging the equalizer in the data path
if the cable loss is greater than 6dB. If the cable loss
is less than 6dB, the equalizer is bypassed by setting
the REQB=1.
In case 2, an external line and equalizer network
precedes the XRT7295AE. In this mode, the signal at
R
IN
is already equalized, and the on-chip equalizer
should be bypassed by setting REQB1=1. In both
cases, the signal at R
IN
must meet the amplitude limits
described in Table 1.
The recommended receive termination is also shown in
Figure 3. The 75
resistor terminates the coaxial cable
with its characteristic impedance. In Figure 3 case 2,
if the fixed equalizer includes the line termination, the
75
resistor is not required. The signal is AC coupled
through the 0.01
μ
F capacitor to R
IN
. The DC bias at R
IN
is generated internally. The input capacitance at the
R
IN
pin is typically 2.8pF (SOJ package).

NOTES:
1
Maximum input amplitude under all conditions is 1.1
Vpk.
2
The SOJ package performance is enhanced by de-
creased package parasitics.
Although system designers typically use power in dBm
to describe input levels, the XRT7295AE responds to
peak input signal amplitude. Therefore, the
XRT7295AE input signal limits are given in mV pk.
