14.2 Gbps, 13x13 Asynchronous Crosspoint Switch with Equalization and De-Emphasis

The HMC1027 is an extremely low-power, high-performance, fully programmable asynchronous 13x13 crosspoint switch operating with data rates up to 14.2 Gbps. The HMC1027 consists of a programmable input equalizer, a 13x13 switch, and a de-emphasis based programmable output driver. The 13x13 switch is fully non-blocking and it allows any input to be routed to any output, any combination of outputs, or broadcast to all outputs. The HMC1027 performs both receive equalization (EQ) and transmit de-emphasis (DE) on all input and output channels to compensate signal impairments due to inter-symbol interference (ISI) caused by wide variety of transmission media and channel lengths. The input equalizer can be bypassed for short links to further reduce the overall power dissipation. The 13th channel is identical to the other 12 channels and it can be either used as the 13th channel or signal inject and monitor for debugging purposes during the prototyping stage.

All high-speed differential inputs and outputs of the HMC1027 are Current Mode Logic (CML) and terminated on-chip with 50 ohms to the positive supply, 1.8 V or 2.5 V, and may be DC or AC coupled. The inputs and outputs of the HMC1027 can be operated either differentially or single ended. The low-power, high-performance and feature-rich HMC1027 is packaged in a 169 pin and 1 mm ball pitch, 14x14 mm BGA package. The device uses a 2.5 V core supply but the I/O can be operated at 1.8 V supply to reduce the power dissipation to less than 100 mV per channel. The HMC1027 operates over a case temperature range of -40 °C up to 85 °C.
