Using Equalizers Within SDAIII-CompleteLinQ

When configuring EyeDoctorII equalizers via the SDAIII-CompleteLinQ dialog, equalization is performed
as part of the analysis flow for serial data analysis. This is the preferred approach, since all configuration
can be done via the SDAIII-CompleteLinQ dialog.

The equalization features of are accessed from two separate buttons in the SDAIII-CompleteLinQ user
interface:

l

Linear EQ button: accesses Continuous Time Linear Equilization (CTLE) and Feed-Foreward Equal-
ization (FFE) features

l

DFE button: accesses the Decision-Feedback Equilization (DFE) dialog.

Equalization can be applied to up-to-four lanes independently when using SDAIII-CompleteLinQ .
