DS250DF230 Dual-Channel Multi-Rate Retimer

Texas Instruments DS250DF230 Dual-Channel Multi-Rate Retimer is used to extend the reach and robustness of long, lossy, crosstalk-impaired high-speed serial links while achieving a bit error rate (BER) of 10–15 or less. Each channel of the DS250DF230 independently locks to serial data rates in a continuous range from 19.6Gbps to 25.8Gbps. It also supports sub-rates (÷2 and ÷4), including critical data rates such as 12.16512Gbps, 9.8304Gbps, and 6.144Gbps. The Texas Instruments DS250DF230 has a single power supply and minimal need for external components. These features reduce PCB routing complexity and BOM cost.
