ISL36111DRZ-TS

Specialized Overview

The ISL36111DRZ-TS is a single-channel receive-side equalizer designed for high-speed serial data transmission applications. It supports data rates up to 11.1 Gb/s, including 10G Ethernet and other advanced protocols. The device compensates for frequency-dependent attenuation in copper twin-axial cables, extending signal reach to at least 10 meters on 28 AWG cable. It operates on a single 1.2V supply with low power consumption of approximately 110mW and latency under 500ps. The component uses Current Mode Logic (CML) I/O and is housed in a compact 3mm x 3mm 16-lead QFN package. It features adjustable equalizer boost controlled by external pins and supports 64b/66b encoded data with long run lengths.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Adjustable equalizer boost allows optimization of signal fidelity for specific media and length requirements
• Supports line silence preservation and loss of signal detection for robust module operation
• Compact form factor enables simplified routing in straight route-through architectures

Specialized Applications

• SFP+ active copper cable modules
• QSFP active copper cable modules
• 10G Ethernet interfaces
• High-speed printed circuit board traces

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to ensure compatibility with required packaging formats such as tape and reel quantities. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free specifications prior to integration into production designs. Cross-reference the part number with official Renesas databases to validate availability and lifecycle status, as this component may be subject to obsolescence notices or replacement recommendations.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring single-channel equalization for copper-based interconnects operating at speeds up to 11.1 Gb/s. Ensure the design accommodates the 1.2V supply voltage and CML interface requirements. Consider the 3mm x 3mm QFN package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the application environment supports the specified operating temperature range and that external control pins can be properly configured for the desired equalization settings.

Specialized Part Context

The ISL36111 series belongs to Renesas' portfolio of high-speed interface solutions aimed at extending the reach of copper cabling in data center and enterprise networking environments. It complements transmit drivers like the ISL35411 to form complete active cable assemblies. This specific model focuses on the receive side, providing essential signal conditioning to maintain data integrity over longer distances where passive cables would suffer excessive attenuation.

Specialized Replacement Considerations
