EQCO31X20C1TB-I/8EX

Overview

The EQCO31X20C1TB-I/8EX is a CoaxPress compliant asymmetric equalizer and driver manufactured by Microchip Technology. It supports data rates up to 3.125 Gbps over coaxial cable, enabling full-duplex communication with simultaneous power delivery. The device integrates clock-data recovery (CDR) and differential drivers within a compact 16-pin QFN package.

Feature Summary

• Supports CoaxPress standards for high-speed asymmetric communication
• Integrates CDR and cable drivers for signal integrity restoration
• Enables simultaneous signaling and power over a single coaxial cable

Applications

• CoaxPress compliant systems
• Links for high-definition cameras
• Links between FPGAs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TB' against official Microchip documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging status, as standard listings may vary. Confirm industrial temperature range compliance and RoHS status directly from the datasheet before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring asymmetric full-duplex communication over coaxial media. Ensure the design supports the 1.25V single supply requirement and accommodates the 16-QFN footprint constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EQCO31X20 family, designed for CoaxPress applications. It serves as an alternative to higher-speed variants like the EQCO62X20 or EQCO125X40 when lower bandwidth requirements are sufficient for the specific link distance and data rate needs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for EQCO31X20C1T-I/8EX as a potential variant. Verify if EQCO62X20 series parts offer backward compatibility for higher speed requirements.
