DESCRIPTION
Quellan’s Q:ACTIVE® Technology is the first silicon-based solution developed specifically for copper interconnect applications. Integrating Q:ACTIVE components into each end of a copper cable assembly boosts the signal and reduces noise to provide a dramatic decrease in cable gauge and an increase in cable reach - up to three times that of a passive cable.
Integrating Quellan ICs into linecards, switch cards and backplanes provides dramatic improvement in signal integrity of these interconnects. This allows the use of cost effective PCB laminates while also employing simpler ASICS without complex signal conditioning techniques.
The QLx4600 is a settable quad equalizer optimized for Gen 2 PCI Express (5 Gbps) operation. The equalizer compensates for frequency dependent attenuation of non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data and extends the signal reach to over 30m on 24AWG cable. The small form factor, highly-integrated quad design is ideal for high-density 4 lane cable and PCB applications.
The equalizer is design includes Detection Threshold and Impedance Select functionalities to enable support for PCI Express protocol features such as DC idle (muting) and fundamental reset.
