Dear Colleagues,
The recommendation is:
- For 200G/lane AUI C2M and AUI C2C, set the COM parameter values as follows:
- Number of fixed-position taps (N_fix) = 14 (d_w + 1 + 8 fixed-position post-cursor taps)
- Number of floating tap groups (N_g) = 2
- Number of taps per floating tap group (N_f) = 4
- Highest allowed tap index (N_max) = 50
- A_v = A_fe = 0.413
- A_ne = 0.45
- Set COM = 3dB for analysis
Note: In 178A.1.8.1, “The total number of taps in the feed-forward filter, N_w, is N_fix + N_g*N_f” (P656 L11) and this seems to include the precursor taps d_w (e.g., based on Figure 178A–8).
With regards,
-Kent
