DS110RT410SQE/NOPB

Specialized Overview

The DS110RT410SQE/NOPB is a quad-channel retimer manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for high-speed serial data transmission. It supports data rates ranging from 8.5 Gbps to 11.3 Gbps and operates on a single 2.5 V power supply with a typical operating current of 240 mA. The device features adaptive equalization and a clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit to restore signal integrity. It utilizes CML input and output signaling and includes an I2C/SMBus interface for configuration. The component is housed in a 48-pin WQFN package with dimensions of 7x7 mm, suitable for surface mount installation.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Integrates adaptive equalization and clock and data recovery circuits to maintain signal quality across high-speed links
• Provides four independent channels capable of handling data rates up to 11.3 Gbps
• Supports configuration and monitoring via standard I2C or SMBus digital interfaces

Specialized Applications

• Front port interconnects in networking equipment
• Backplane connections in server and storage systems
• High-speed serial link extension applications

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the suffix /NOPB to ensure lead-free compliance and specific packaging options. Confirm the WQFN-48 package variant matches the PCB footprint requirements. Check for moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles appropriate for the 7x7 mm package. Ensure the design supports the required 2.5 V power domain and I2C bus voltage levels for proper operation.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when signal degradation requires active regeneration rather than passive buffering. The DS110RT410 is suitable for links exceeding the reach of linear redrivers like the DS100BR series. Consider the 8.5-11.3 Gbps rate range and the need for adaptive equalization when designing for varying channel losses. The quad-channel architecture offers density advantages over single-channel solutions.

Specialized Part Context

This device belongs to the DS110RT410 family of retimers within Texas Instruments' interface portfolio. It complements other signal conditioning components such as the DS100BR410 redriver, offering active signal restoration capabilities. The product line targets high-performance computing and telecommunications infrastructure requiring reliable data transmission at multi-gigabit speeds.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

The DS110RT410SQE-NOPB is listed as a corresponding equivalent part number. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substituting with other retimer models. No direct cross-manufacturer substitutes are confirmed in the provided documentation.
