5.2.2. OIF_Compliant PAM4 Link Simulation with the Advanced Link Analyzer
The schematic topology is as follows:
- Transmitter (No Equalization): Intel® Stratix® 10 E-Tile, IBIS-AMI Model
- TX Package: Intel® Stratix® 10 TX Package
- Transmitter Channel: OIF Compliant Link
- RX Package: Intel® Stratix® 10 RX Package
- Receiver (Adaptive): Intel® Stratix® 10 E-Tile, IBIS-AMI Model
