    Sanjay,

    According to Solarflare's Nov. 2002 tutorial presentation (pg.17) their
    proposed
    launch power is 10-12dBm. During his Jan. 2003 presentation

    http://www.ieee802.org/3/10GBT/public/jan03/jones_1_0103.pdf

    Bill Jones mentions 9.5 dBm launch power (pg.5). After Jan. 2003 meeting
    Bill
    sent the following e-mail to the reflector and provided detailed analysis
    for
    coming up with their peak-to-peak launch voltage. That is where I got the
    3.134Vpp
    launch voltage number for Solarflare.

          Subject: [10GBASE-T] clarification on voltage level    All headers

          In response to some questions at last weeks meeting (and to stimulate
    some reflector activity), I wanted to clarify the launch voltage level

          For 10 dBm, ideal PAM10 (random data and PSD ~sinc^2) and 100 ohm load

          Vrms = sqrt(P*R) = 1 V

          Vpeak = Vrms*sqrt(3*(M-1)/(M+1))  where M is the number of PAM levels
                   = 1.57 V

          Vpp = 2*Vpeak = 3.13 V

          For 9.5 dBm

          Vrms = .944 V

          Vpeak = 1.48 V

          Vpp = 2.96 V

          Note: this is based on an ideal PAM signal, any filtering in the
    transmit path will change the PAR and peak voltages.

          regards
          Bill
