Product details
Overview
SN65LVCP202RGET from Texas Instruments is a 2 × 2 nonblocking gigabit crosspoint switch supporting up to 2.5-Gbps data rates, featuring VML differential signaling, selectable per-lane transmit preemphasis (0–9 dB), integrated receive equalization (5 dB or 12 dB), and on-die 100-Ω differential termination. It serves as a high-speed signal routing element in telecom backplane interconnects and wireless base station I/O consolidation.
For engineers reviewing the SN65LVCP202RGET datasheet, SN65LVCP202RGET pinout, SN65LVCP202RGET application, or SN65LVCP202RGET equivalent, key selection criteria include deterministic jitter (30 ps peak-to-peak at 2.5 Gbps), propagation delay (500 ps typical), flow-through QFN-24 pinout for PCB layout simplification, and LVTTL control interface compatibility with 3.3-V supply operation.
Technical Context
The SN65LVCP202RGET implements a fully differential, nonblocking 2×2 crosspoint architecture with two independent 2:1 multiplexers-one per output channel-enabling any input (1A/1B or 2A/2B) to be routed to either output (1Y/1Z or 2Y/2Z). Each path supports CML-compatible inputs and VML outputs with internal 100-Ω differential termination.
It integrates dual-stage signal conditioning: a passive receiver equalizer providing 5-dB or 12-dB gain (selectable via EQ pin) to compensate for FR4 trace loss, and programmable transmitter preemphasis (0/3/6/9 dB via P11–P22 pins) to counteract high-frequency attenuation. Propagation delay skew between outputs is ≤25 ps, and part-to-part skew is ≤300 ps.

Pinout & Package
The SN65LVCP202RGET is housed in a 24-pin VQFN package (RGE) with 4 mm × 4 mm body, 0.5-mm pitch, and exposed thermal pad. The flow-through pinout minimizes trace crossovers and supports straight-line PCB routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| VCC (pins 8,12,19) | Power supply | 3.3-V main supply; three dedicated pins reduce IR drop and improve PSRR |
| GND (pins 11,15,20) | Ground | Three ground pins plus exposed thermal pad - mandatory connection to PCB ground plane via thermal vias |
| VBB (pin 4) | Bias reference | Receiver self-bias voltage (1.6 V) for AC-coupled CML inputs - eliminates need for external bias network |

| Selectable per-lane preemphasis | Four discrete levels (0/3/6/9 dB) allow fine-tuning of transmitter boost to match specific FR4 trace lengths (10–40 inches) |
| Programmable receive equalization | Two gain settings (5 dB or 12 dB) compensate for frequency-dependent loss in backplane channels up to 43 inches |
| Integrated 100-Ω differential termination | Eliminates four external 100-Ω resistors per channel - saves board space and reduces BOM count in compact designs |
| Flow-through QFN-24 pinout | Input and output pairs aligned on opposite sides - enables direct trace routing with minimal layer transitions and stubs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed crosspoint switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN65LVCP204RGER | 4×4 configuration, same 2.5-Gbps rating, identical EQ/preemphasis architecture, but larger 32-pin RGR package | Supports four independent lanes instead of two - suitable for higher-port-density systems requiring >2 lane routing | Choose when expanding from dual-lane to quad-lane routing without redesigning signal conditioning strategy |
| MAX9113ESE+ | 2×2 LVDS crosspoint, max 1.5 Gbps, no built-in EQ/preemphasis, requires external termination, SOIC-16 package | Targeted at lower-speed industrial control buses rather than telecom backplanes - lacks FR4 loss compensation | Consider only for cost-sensitive, short-trace (<6 inch) applications where jitter budget allows relaxed specs |
Compared with SN65LVCP204RGER and MAX9113ESE+, the SN65LVCP202RGET delivers optimal trade-off of density, signal integrity, and board-area efficiency for dual-lane 2.5-Gbps backplane interconnects - its integrated 100-Ω termination and flow-through QFN-24 footprint reduce layout complexity versus both alternatives.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for the SN65LVCP202RGET?
The SN65LVCP202RGET supports operation up to 2.5 Gbps per lane, verified across the full –40°C to 85°C temperature range with PRBS27–1 test patterns. At this rate, deterministic jitter remains at 30 ps peak-to-peak, and differential output voltage is specified at 1000–1500 mVPP into a 100-Ω load. This makes the SN65LVCP202RGET suitable for Gigabit Ethernet, CPRI, and early-generation PCIe applications.
Does the SN65LVCP202RGET require external termination resistors?
No, the SN65LVCP202RGET integrates 100-Ω differential termination on-chip for all four outputs (1Y/1Z and 2Y/2Z), eliminating the need for external 100-Ω resistors. Inputs feature internal 50-Ω termination to VBB, compatible with CML sources. This integration reduces PCB area, BOM count, and potential impedance mismatches - a key advantage over discrete termination solutions.
How does the EQ pin affect signal integrity in the SN65LVCP202RGET?
The EQ pin on the SN65LVCP202RGET selects between two receive equalization gains: EQ = 1 enables 5-dB boost (optimized for ~25-inch FR4 traces), and EQ = 0 enables 12-dB boost (for ~43-inch traces). This compensates for frequency-dependent loss in backplane channels, reducing deterministic jitter by up to 60 ps and significantly improving eye height and width at the output - directly enhancing bit-error-rate performance.
What is the function of the P11–P22 pins on the SN65LVCP202RGET?
The P11–P22 pins on the SN65LVCP202RGET are 2-bit LVTTL control inputs that set the transmit preemphasis level per output channel: P12/P11 configures Channel 1 (00 = 0 dB, 01 = 3 dB, 10 = 6 dB, 11 = 9 dB), and P22/P21 configures Channel 2. This allows independent optimization of transmitter boost for mismatched trace lengths, maximizing signal integrity without requiring identical routing topologies for both lanes.
Is the SN65LVCP202RGET pin-compatible with other devices in the LVCP family?
The SN65LVCP202RGET shares the same 24-pin VQFN (RGE) package and core pinout with SN65LVCP202RGER, differing only in tape-and-reel quantity (250 vs. 3000 units). However, it is not pin-compatible with SN65LVCP204RGER (32-pin RGR) or SN65LVCP201 (2×1 mux). Control logic and signal routing remain consistent across the 202-series variants, enabling drop-in replacement within the same package variant.
