Product details
Overview
ONET8501PBRGTR from Texas Instruments is a 11.3-Gbps rate-selectable limiting amplifier with CML inputs/outputs, 34-dB small-signal gain, digitally adjustable output amplitude (350/650/850 mVpp), and integrated 2-wire I²C interface for bandwidth, LOS threshold, preemphasis, and input slice control. It operates from a single 3.3-V supply and targets high-speed optical receiver front-ends in SFP+ and XFP modules.
For engineers reviewing the ONET8501PBRGTR datasheet, ONET8501PBRGTR pinout, ONET8501PBRGTR application, or ONET8501PBRGTR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-pin VQFN package, differential 100-Ω input termination, on-chip 50-Ω CML output back-termination, programmable 2.4–9 GHz bandwidth, and −40°C to +100°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The ONET8501PBRGTR integrates a high-speed analog data path with offset cancellation feedback, dual peak-detector-based loss-of-signal (LOS) monitoring, and digital control logic. Its input stage features selectable bandwidth via RATE0/RATE1 pins or 4-bit register-controlled filters (RSA–RSD), enabling optimization across 2.125–11.3 Gbps data rates.
Output stage functionality includes three programmable amplitude levels (350/650/850 mVpp), 0–8 dB preemphasis in 1-dB steps, and output disable (DIS) with 20-ns response. The device uses internal band-gap reference and bias generation, supports I²C-compatible 400-kHz serial programming, and provides open-drain LOS assertion with 10-kΩ external pullup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Data Rate | 11.3 Gbps - supports PRBS31 at BER < 10⁻¹² with 5 mVpp input sensitivity |
| Small-Signal Gain | 34 dB - ensures full differential output swing for input signals as low as 20 mVpp |
| Output Amplitude | 350 / 650 / 850 mVpp - selectable via AMP[1:0] register bits for optimal signal integrity |
| Bandwidth Range | 2.4–9 GHz - configurable via RATE0/RATE1 pins or RSA–RSD registers for noise/speed tradeoffs |
| Input Sensitivity | 5 mVpp (min) at 11.3 Gbps - enables operation with ultra-low-amplitude optical signals |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±10% - single-supply operation with typical 63-mA ICC, enabling low-power 10G receiver designs |
| LOS Threshold Range | 15–80 mVpp - digitally adjustable in two ranges (LOSRNG = 0/1) with 7-bit resolution per range |
Pinout & Package
ONET8501PBRGTR is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm, 16-pin VQFN package (RGT suffix) with exposed thermal pad (EP) requiring PCB ground connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIN+ | Analog input (noninverted) | Differentially 100-Ω terminated to DIN−; accepts AC-coupled CML or LVPECL signals |
| DIN− | Analog input (inverted) | Differentially 100-Ω terminated to DIN+; forms balanced input pair for common-mode rejection |
| DOUT+ | CML output (noninverted) | On-chip 50-Ω back-terminated to VCC; delivers fully differential CML output without external resistors |
| DOUT− | CML output (inverted) | On-chip 50-Ω back-terminated to VCC; complements DOUT+ for impedance-matched transmission lines |
| DIS | Digital input | Active-high output disable; reduces output to 5 mVrms when asserted, enabling power-gating in burst-mode systems |
| LOS | Open-drain MOS output | Asserts high when input falls below programmed threshold; requires 10-kΩ pullup to VCC for proper logic level |
| SDA | Digital input (I²C data) | Open-drain serial data line; internally pulled up, compatible with standard I²C master timing (400 kHz max) |
| SCK | Digital input (I²C clock) | Serial clock input; internally pulled up, synchronizes register read/write operations |
| RATE0 / RATE1 | Digital input | Hardwired bandwidth selection pins; default to RSD register (RATE1=1, RATE0=0 → 9 GHz) if unconnected |
| VCC | Power supply | 3.3-V supply input (pins 9 & 12); decoupling with 0.1-μF capacitors required per datasheet layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground | Reference node for analog/digital circuits (pins 1 & 4); exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to PCB ground plane |
| COC1 / COC2 | Analog filter terminals | Offset cancellation loop capacitor nodes; 330-pF external cap sets low-frequency cutoff to 10 kHz |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Digitally selectable bandwidth | Four default settings (2.4–9 GHz) via RATE0/RATE1 pins; fine-tuned via 4-bit registers for precise noise/speed optimization |
| Programmable output preemphasis | 0–8 dB in 1-dB steps (PEADJ[3:0]) to compensate for frequency-dependent channel loss in microstrip/stripline interconnects |
| Adjustable input threshold voltage | 8-bit THADJ[7:0] register enables dynamic slice-level tuning to minimize BER under pulse-width distortion or jitter conditions |
| Integrated offset cancellation | DC feedback loop with COC1/COC2 filter nodes eliminates internal offset drift, ensuring stable operation down to 20 mVpp inputs |
| Configurable loss-of-signal detection | Two independent 7-bit LOS ranges (15–35 mVpp or 35–80 mVpp) with hysteresis control for robust signal presence monitoring |

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the ONET8501PBRGTR?
The ONET8501PBRGTR supports up to 11.3 Gbps with PRBS31 pattern and BER < 10⁻¹² at 5 mVpp input sensitivity. This performance is validated across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +100°C) and meets requirements for 10G Ethernet, 8G/10G Fiber Channel, and OC-192 applications. The device maintains signal integrity with <8 pspp deterministic jitter at this rate.
Does the ONET8501PBRGTR require external termination resistors on its CML outputs?
No, the ONET8501PBRGTR includes on-chip 50-Ω back-termination to VCC on both DOUT+ and DOUT− pins, eliminating the need for external resistors. This integrated termination simplifies PCB layout, reduces component count, and ensures consistent impedance matching for high-speed CML signaling into 50-Ω transmission lines.
How is loss-of-signal (LOS) detection configured on the ONET8501PBRGTR?
LOS detection on the ONET8501PBRGTR is configurable via I²C register control: LOSRNG bit selects between low-range (15–35 mVpp) or high-range (35–80 mVpp) thresholds, and 7-bit registers (LOSA–LOSD) set precise assert levels. Default values can also be selected using RATE0/RATE1 pins, and the open-drain LOS output requires a 10-kΩ pullup to VCC.
Can the ONET8501PBRGTR operate with input signals below 20 mVpp?
Yes - the ONET8501PBRGTR achieves 5 mVpp input sensitivity at 11.3 Gbps (PRBS31, BER < 10⁻¹²) due to its 34-dB gain and integrated offset cancellation loop. With COC1/COC2 filter capacitors, low-frequency response extends down to 10 kHz, supporting very low-amplitude, low-frequency-modulated optical signals without degradation.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the ONET8501PBRGTR use?
The ONET8501PBRGTR uses a 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm, 16-pin VQFN package (RGT) with exposed thermal pad. It dissipates less than 170 mW typical and is characterized from −40°C to +100°C. The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for effective thermal conduction and electrical stability.
