THS6132VFP

Introduction

THS6132VFP is a low-power, low-noise differential receiver designed for data communications and storage applications. It is optimized to provide low-power reception and high-speed, low-noise operation with a single +1.8V supply voltage. The device is designed to provide low-power, low noise, and precise reception of various data formats such as RS-485 and SERDES (serializer-deserializer) in a wide range of communication systems.

Application Field

The THS6132VFP has a wide variety of applications. The device is used in the communications industry for high data rate Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and Serial ATA applications. For example, the device can be used as an Ethernet receiver for long reach Ethernet over copper cable. The device is also ideal for applications requiring precise time synchronization for data communications, such as voice over Ethernet (VoIP) and Storage Area Networks (SAN). In addition, the device is well suited for use in high-speed serial data communication systems such as Data Center Bridging (DCB) and Serial Rapid IO (SRIO).

Receiver Working Principle

The THS6132VFP receives differential serial data signals with two-wire transmissions. It is designed to operate at data rates up to 10 450 Mbps, with low-noise performance and low power consumption. The device includes a voltage-controlled differential amplifier (VCD) with adjustable gain and a differential to single-ended signal converter that converts the differential signals from the cable to a single-ended signal. The data signals are then converted to digital data using a low-noise, high-speed 8-bit A/D converter.

The THS6132VFP also includes a high-frequency adaptive equalizer with programmable parameters. The equalizer is designed to help reduce high frequency noise caused by other circuitry in the system, thus ensuring reliable data transmission. The device also includes a 0.1uA current source that generates an output signal that can be used to monitor the health of the system. This signal can be used to provide an indication of the cable\'s signal integrity, link status, and synchronization.
