EQCO125X40C1-I/8EX 개요

The Microchip Technology EQCO125X40C1-I/8EX is a 12.5 Gbps Asymmetric Equalizer/Driver/Repeater designed for CoaXPress 2.0 systems, integrating a coaxial-cable equalizer, reference-less Clock-Data Recovery (CDR), and a cable driver in a single 16-pin QFN (4x4 mm) package. It delivers up to 12.5 Gbps in one direction and 1.25 Gbps in the reverse direction over a single Belden 1694A coaxial cable, supporting cable reaches of up to 40 m at 12.5 Gbps and up to 130 m at 1.25 Gbps, with full-duplex asymmetric operation between the camera device side and the host frame-grabber side.

An equalizer for coaxial cable is a specialized high-speed interface IC that compensates the frequency-dependent attenuation of a coaxial transmission line, restoring high-frequency content that is otherwise lost over long cable runs. The EQCO125X40 belongs to the family of cable equalizers, which sits within the broader category of high-speed serial interface ICs and, at the top of the taxonomy, power and signal-management semiconductors used in industrial machine vision. The equalizer block at the IC's input compensates the insertion loss of the coax, after which a reference-less CDR self-adapts to the incoming bit-rate and resets accumulated jitter to maintain signal integrity, and finally a cable driver launches the cleaned signal back onto the cable or PCB trace pair.

Key features include integrated equalizer + CDR + cable driver, single-coax full-duplex asymmetric link, AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive and industrial camera applications, and a compact 4x4 mm QFN-16 footprint with exposed thermal pad. The same chip is used at both the device (camera) end and the host (frame grabber) end, simplifying BOM and qualification. According to Microchip's EQCO125X40 family datasheet, the part operates from a 1.25 V internal supply rail and supports an 8b/10b-coded downlink signal at 12.5 Gbps in addition to the 1.25 Gbps uplink.

Typical applications include CoaXPress 2.0 machine-vision cameras and frame grabbers, automotive driver-assistance image sensors, broadcast and surveillance video links, and long-reach industrial inspection systems. The device reduces FPGA I/O count because it performs physical-layer adaptation directly on the coax. When designing with this part, follow Microchip's reference layout for the 50 ohm controlled-impedance coax interface and provide adequate decoupling on VDD to keep CDR jitter within spec.

🏭

CoaXPress 2.0 Machine-Vision Cameras

The EQCO125X40C1-I/8EX is the reference physical-layer IC for CoaXPress 2.0 machine-vision cameras and frame grabbers because it delivers 12.5 Gbps downlink + 1.25 Gbps uplink asymmetric full-duplex over a single 50 ohm coax. Placed between the camera image sensor serializer output and the coax connector, it equalizes the incoming high-speed signal, recovers the clock with its reference-less CDR, and drives the cleaned signal back onto the cable. This offloads FPGA SERDES resources and supports up to 40 m of Belden 1694A at full speed - the canonical length for factory-floor inspection cells. Pair with an FPGA such as Artix-7 or Kintex-7 that handles the CoaXPress protocol layer above the EQCO.

🚗

Automotive ADAS Camera Links

The EQCO125X40C1-I/8EX is AEC-Q100 qualified and operates from -40 C to +85 C, making it suitable for ADAS surround-view, rear-view, and driver-monitoring camera links. Its single-coax asymmetric profile replaces heavier multi-conductor LVDS or Ethernet harnesses, reducing cable weight in the vehicle and simplifying the grommet routing through the chassis. The integrated equalizer compensates the insertion loss of automotive-grade coax at 12.5 Gbps, while the reference-less CDR tolerates the temperature-induced jitter of an in-cabin link. Pair with a serializer like the MAX96717 or TI DS90UB953 for the sensor side.

🎥

Broadcast and Surveillance Video Links

The EQCO125X40C1-I/8EX supports up to 130 m of Belden 1694A at 1.25 Gbps, which covers broadcast studio runs between cameras, switchers, and recorders. The part's integrated equalizer cleans up the signal at the far end without requiring an external repeater, and the same IC is used at both the camera-side and the studio-side, simplifying spare-parts inventory. Its 1.25 V supply and compact 4x4 mm QFN footprint suit space-constrained camera-control-unit (CCU) enclosures where thermal dissipation matters. Pair with an SDI bridge such as the LMH0387 for SDI-over-coax interoperability.

🔧

Industrial Inspection and AOI Systems

The EQCO125X40C1-I/8EX is used in automated optical inspection (AOI) and 3D laser-line-profiler systems where the camera must be physically separated from the host PC by up to 40 m of factory cabling. Its CoaXPress 2.0 asymmetric profile carries uncompressed pixel data at 12.5 Gbps without compression artifacts that would degrade inspection accuracy. The exposed-pad 16-QFN (4x4) package dissipates the IC's heat through the PCB copper pour, enabling enclosed camera-head designs without active cooling. Pair with a GenICam-compliant frame grabber and an image-sensor module with embedded CoaXPress protocol support.

💊

Medical Imaging Endoscopes

The EQCO125X40C1-I/8EX is suitable for medical endoscope and surgical-camera links that require high-resolution uncompressed video over flexible coax inside a sterile drape. The single-coax profile replaces multi-fiber bundles, simplifying the sterilization workflow and reducing the cost of single-use camera heads. The reference-less CDR adapts to varying cable characteristics across batches, and the 12.5 Gbps downlink carries 4K UHD endoscopy streams without compression. Pair with an FPGA-based image-signal-processor (ISP) that handles the white-balance and edge-enhancement pipeline.

📺

Long-Reach PCB Trace Links

Beyond coaxial cable, the EQCO125X40C1-I/8EX can drive long PCB trace pairs between modules inside a large chassis - for example, between a sensor board in the front panel and a processor board in the back of an industrial rack. The integrated equalizer compensates the insertion loss of FR-4 traces at 12.5 Gbps, eliminating the need for a dedicated redriver on the backplane. The exposed-pad QFN provides a low-thermal-resistance path for continuous operation. Pair with controlled-impedance 50 ohm stripline routing and adequate via stitching for return-current continuity.

주요 차별점

  • Highest single-coax downlink rate in the EQCO125X40 family (vs EQCO62X20C1-I/8EX)
  • Integrated equalizer + reference-less CDR + cable driver (vs Discrete equalizer + external CDR + cable driver solution)
  • Same chip at both ends of the coax link (vs Asymmetric PHY pairs (camera-only vs host-only ICs))

설계 노트

Route the 50 ohm coaxial interface as a controlled-impedance transmission line (stripline or microstrip) directly from the EQCO125X40C1-I/8EX SDI_IN/SDI_OUT pins to the coax connector. Keep the trace length below 5 mm and avoid stubs; use ground stitching vias every lambda/10 along the trace to maintain return-current continuity. Per the Microchip EQCO125X40 family datasheet layout guidelines, mismatched impedance will degrade the equalizer's eye-opening at 12.5 Gbps.

Estimated: at 1.25 V supply and typical 200 mA operating current, the EQCO125X40C1-I/8EX dissipates approximately 0.25 W. Provide at least one 0.1 uF X7R ceramic decoupling capacitor as close as possible to the VDD pin, plus a 10 uF bulk capacitor within 5 mm. Place a ferrite bead on the supply rail if the upstream regulator is a switching converter to keep CDR jitter within spec.

Do not substitute the EQCO125X40C1-I/8EX with the /3DW suffix variant on a QFN PCB footprint without verifying pinout - the /3DW is a die-pedestal package code with potentially different mechanical attachment. Also ensure the CONFIG0/CONFIG1 strap pins are tied to the correct logic levels per datasheet Table 1; incorrect strapping disables the CDR and yields a non-functional link. Always terminate unused NC pins (do not connect to VDD/GND).
