2.4 DS160PR810 Equalization Control
Each channel of the DS160PR810 features 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.
shows available equalization boost through EQ control pins (EQ1_0 and
EQ0_0 for channels 0–3 and EQ1_1 and EQ0_1 for channels 4–7) when in Pin Control mode (MODE = L0).
