Re: [802.3_E4AI] [EXTERNAL] Re: [802.3_E4AI] COM starting values for 400 G



Hello Rich,

I would also keep R_LM for all 3 modulation at 0.95 as mainlining RLM with more level gets harder.

Also not sure why you have more fixed taps for PAM6 compared to PAM4, maybe just a typo.
So here is my suggestion for FFE taps, please see the highlight.

SNR_Tx
Deterministic Jitter
R_LM
Random Jitter
Rx FFE pre taps
Px FFE post taps
Rx FFE total taps
Rx ffe floating tap groups
Taps per Group
Last floating tap relative to the cursor

I still think the jitter numbers (which are in UI) should not be increasing with modulation level.   (Maybe even go the other way keeping them the same in ps), but at least leave them the same (in UI as 802.3dj).

Would this be  reasonable start point for channel analysis?

Good to know. I’m certainly not a n expert here either 
 
Thanks,

For KR4 (NRZ)  we used Nb= 14
For KP4 (PAM4) we used Nb= 16
I can’t remember why though.
 
Which is the opposite direction of what you were suggesting below.

Hello Rich,
 
ADC ENOB is defend as = (SNDR - 1.76 dB)/6.02, furthermore SNDR and ENOB are frequency dependent.  PAM4 with higher frequency will have lower ENOB, my suggestion is the following for ENOB:
               PAM4 = 5.0 bits
               PAM6 = 5.5 bits
               PAM8 = 6.0 bits.
 
Proposed RX FFE fixed taps:
PAM4 = 30 UI
PAM6 = 25 UI
PAM8 = 20 UI
 
In DJ we doubled the number of taps, here is my suggestion for last floating taps:
PAM4 = 160 UI
PAM6=130 UI
PAM8 = 100 UI
 
 

Thanks,

Hi All,
 
I put together a stake in the ground for 400 Gb/s COM so we can better analyze channels.
This not a recommendation. It’s starting point for consensus discussion.  I’m not convinced the progression direction is correct for some the parameter makes sense. I can argue either way.
Comments and suggestions welcome.
