Overview

The DS250DF410ABMT is a quad-channel multi-rate retimer designed to extend the reach and improve the signal integrity of high-speed serial links. It independently locks to data rates between 20.2752 and 25.8 Gbps per channel, providing essential jitter cleaning and signal restoration for backplane and front-port interfaces.

Why Choose This Part

This retimer offers industry-leading performance with ultra-low latency of less than 500 ps and a power-efficient design consuming only 241mA with all features enabled. It eliminates the need for an external low-jitter reference clock, simplifying board layout and reducing BOM costs while providing robust equalization via adaptive CTLE and DFE.

Applications

25G Ethernet Switch Ports
Used in high-density data center switches to restore signal integrity for SFP28 and QSFP28 optical or copper interconnects.
Server Backplanes
Compensates for over 35 dB of channel loss at 12.9 GHz, allowing reliable high-speed data transmission across long PCB traces and connectors.
Storage Networking
Optimizes 32G Fibre Channel and other multi-rate storage protocols through its wide range of supported sub-rates and low latency.
