An optional fixed LVPECL equalizer is integrated in
the transmit path for architectures that use LIUs on
active interface cards. The fixed equalizer can
compensate for up to 1.5m of trace and can be
enabled by the TXOUT1 pin or TXEQ bit as follows:

POWER-DOWN FUNCTION
Power-down control is provided to allow the
78P2351R to be shut off. Transmit and receive
power-down can be set independently through SW

Global power-down is achieved by
In SW mode only, a Full Remote (digital) Loopback
bit FLBK is also available in the Advanced Tx
Control register. This loopback exercises the entire
Rx and Tx paths of the 78P2351 including the Tx
clock recovery unit. As such, the user must enable
either Plesiochronous or Loop-timing transmit modes
to utilize the Full Remote (digital) Loopback.
powering down both the transmitter and receiver.
Note: the 4-wire serial port interface and
configuration registers are not affected by power-
down.
The transmitter can also be powered down using the
TXPD control pin. The CMI outputs are tri-stated
during transmit power-down for redundancy
applications.
The TXPD pin is active in both
