Equalizer performance works up to much higher levels in half-duplex. For lower bit-rates slightly longer cable lengths can be achieved. 1 EQCO850SC-HS works for 50 coax and the EQCO875SC-HS works for 75 coax. Everything is the same except the part number, the used coax and the characteristic impedance of transmission lines and connectors between the chip and the edge of the boards.

DS-EQCO850SC-HS-2v0-2014-01-28 Page 1 of 13 (c)2014 Eqcologic NV EqcoLogic NV Engineering Information Open your EyesTM 2 Functional Description 2.1 Overview The EQCO850SC-HS single coax transceiver is designed to simultaneously transmit and receive signals on a single 50 coax cable. A sister product, the EQCO875SC-HS can achieve similar performance when used in 75 coaxial systems. The EQCO850SC-HS (EQCO875SC-HS) is ideally suited for simplex and duplex LVDS connections over 50 (75 ) coax cable between 125 Mbps and 1.25 Gbps. For correct operation the signals must be NRZ (non-return-to-zero) encoded, DC balanced with a maximum run length of 10 bits. Excellent EMI/RFI shielding of coax cable allows for good EMI properties. The EQCO850SC-HS operates with all kinds of 50 coax cable, including the cost effective 2.8 mm diameter RTK cable (e.g. Leoni Dakar 302), which is the type of coax cable used for radio and navigation antennas in automotive. This cable fits well with the Standardized (DIN and USCAR), high-performance, cost-effective RF connectors - SAE/USCAR-18 "FAKRA/SMB RF Connector". The EQCO875SC-HS is typically useful in situations where legacy 75 cables are present. Fig. 1 illustrates a typical LVDS Coaxial connection. It can be used for Gigabit Ethernet connections over a single coax cable.

The serial data received on these pins will be transmitted on SDIO. The Input Pre-Driver automatically corrects for variations in signal levels and different edge slew rates at these inputs before they go into the Active Splitter/Combiner for transmission over the coax. SDIp and SDIn inputs are differentially terminated by 100 on chip. The center of the 100 is connected to DGND with a 10 k resistor for DC biasing. The inputs also have protection diodes to ground for ESD purposes. Always AC-couple these inputs to the outputs of the LVDS driver. A Transmit Wake-up detection circuit puts both the Input Pre-Driver and the Active Signal Splitter/Combiner into a low power mode when no signal is detected on the SDIp/SDIn signal pair (except in mode B, where transmit circuit is permanently ON). 2.3.2 SDIO/REF The signal on the SDIO pin is the sum of the incoming signal (i.e. the signal transmitted by the EQCO850SC-HS on the far end side of the coax) and the outgoing signal (i.e. the signal created based on SDIp/SDIn). The far end signal is extracted by subtraction of the near end signal and it is this voltage that the equalizer analyses and adaptively equalizes for level and frequency response based on the knowledge that the originating signal is DC balanced and Run length encoded before transmission. The REF signal carries a precise anti-phase current to the transmit current on SDIO. REF must be connected directly to AGND at the connector (see Figure ) via a resistor precisely matched to the impedance of the coaxial cable used. 2.3.3 SDOp/SDOn SDOp/SDOn together form a differential pair outputting the reconstructed far end transmit signal. The EQCO850SC-HS uses LVDS drivers with source matching for a 100 transmission line. This LVDS signal can normally be connected (subject to input common mode requirements) directly to the RX signal pair of a standard LVDS receiver. 2.3.4 CLK, SI These pins are used for production test and/or reserved for future options. For normal operation connect them to DGND as indicated in Table 1. DS-EQCO850SC-HS-2v0-2014-01-28 Page 4 of 13 (c)2014 Eqcologic NV EqcoLogic NV Engineering Information Open your EyesTM 2.4 Circuit Operation 2.4.1 Pre-driver The Pre-driver removes any dependency on LVDS transmitter for the amplitude and rise time of the outgoing signal on SDIO. 2.4.2 Active signal splitter/combiner The active splitter/combiner [1] controls the amplitude and rise time of the outgoing coax signal and transmits it via a precise 50 output termination resistor. The output resistor when balanced with the coax characteristic impedance also forms part of a hybrid splitter circuit which subtracts the TX output from the signal on the SDIO output to give yield the far end TX signal. The return loss of the coax termination is a key factor in the performance of the line hybrid. 2.4.3 Equalizer Core Figure 5: Principal of Equalizer Operation The EQCO850SC-HS has an embedded high speed equalizer [2] in the receive path with unique characteristics: Auto-adaptive The equalizer controls a multiple pole analog filter which compensates for attenuation of the cable, as illustrated in Figure 5. The filter frequency response needed to restore the signal is automatically determined by the device using a time-continuous feedback loop that measures the frequency components in the signal. Upon the detection of a valid signal, the control loop converges within a few microseconds. Variable gain EQCO850SC-HSs are used in pairs; one at each end of the coax. The EQCO850SC-HS can be used with any LVDS driver with a differential transmit amplitude in the range of 300 mV to 800 mV; the transmit amplitude on the coax is regulated by the input pre-driver. The receiver equalizer has variable gain to compensate for attenuation through the coax. Example equalizer performance measurements can be found in Appendix 1.

For EQCO875SC-HS replace the two 50 references with two times 75. To improve isolation from noise on the board power plane and improve EMC immunity and emissions, it is recommended to power the transmit side of equalizer (AVCC) through a ferrite bead. A 0.1-F decoupling capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the chip between the VCC pin and the GND pin. Ground vias should be placed as close as possible to the device GND pins to minimize inductance. In full duplex, the maximum length performance depends on the level of near-end cross-talk and far-end return-loss. Therefor it is recommended for full duplex operation to position the chip close to the used connector. Also one has to choose for either a 50- system or a 75- system. All the elements need then to have impedances according to that choice: the chips used on both sides, the impedances between the chip and the connector, the PCB connector itself (!), the connectors on the coax cable, and the coax. If one impendance is wrong (e.g. a 75- BNC connector in a 50- system) this impedance discontinuity will give a sligh or a strong reflection, limiting the performance of the full-duplex maximum cable reach. 5.2 PCB layout Because signals are strongly attenuated by a long cable, special attention must be paid on the PCB layout between the coaxial connector and the EQCO850SC-HS. The EQCO850SC-HS should be as close as is practical to the coaxial connector. The trace between the coaxial connector and the EQCO850SC-HS (EQCO875SC-HS) must be a 50- (75-) trace referenced to GND. To avoid noise pickup, other traces carrying digital signals or fast switching signals should be placed as far away as possible from this trace. The following diagram shows the layout of the critical section of the PCB, from the coax connector to the twin differential input pairs: DS-EQCO850SC-HS-2v0-2014-01-28 Page 9 of 13 (c)2014 Eqcologic NV EqcoLogic NV Engineering Information Open your EyesTM Figure 10: Recommended Layout Figure 9: Circuit diagram (part) The ground layout on the EQCO850SC-HS is critical to the EMC and EMI performance of the circuit. The AGND connection should be made directly to the body of the connector as shown in Figure 9. It should not be connected directly to the GND tab of the chip. Similarly AVCC should be decoupled directly to the connector body (see position of C5). The termination resistor (R1 in Figure 9 and Figure 10) must have its ground connection at the connector body and the C7, the connection between R1 and the connector must be kept as short as possible. The impedance of all the traces must be well controlled, including on the connector itself. The SDIp/SDIn and SDOp/SDOn differential traces should be matched in length to minimize time of arrival skew. For traces longer than a few mm the impedance of the differential transmit and receive signals should be laid out as 100 differential traces and the termination to the PHY should be placed close to the PHY, not to the EQCO850SC-HS. EqcoLogic N.V. can design a PCB-layout that allows to reach maximum cable length for any combination of impedance system (50 or 75 ) and coax connector (SMA, BNC, DIN, SMB...) on request.
