GS9077 Data Sheet
4.2.1 Output Amplitude (RSET)
The output amplitude of the GS9077 can be adjusted by changing the value of the
RSET resistor as shown in Table 4-1. For an 800mVp-p output with a nominal ±7%
tolerance, a value of 750Ω is required. A ±1% SMT resistor should be used.
The RSET resistor is part of the high speed output circuit of the GS9077. The
resistor should be placed as close as possible to the RSET pin. In addition, the PCB
capacitance should be minimized at this node by removing the PCB groundplane
beneath the RSET resistor and the RSET pin.

NOTE: For reliable operation of the GS9077 over the full temperature range, do not use an RSET
value below 573Ω.
4.2.2 Output Disable
The serial output disable (DISABLE), disables power to the current mode serial
digital output driver. When asserted LOW, the SDO/SDO output driver is powered
off. SDO/SDO will float to VCC through the pull-up resistor.
4.3 Output Return Loss Measurement
To perform a practical return loss measurement, it is necessary to force the
GS9077 output to a DC high or low condition. The actual measured return loss will
be based on the outputs being static at VCC or VCC-1.6V. Under normal operating
conditions the outputs of the device swing between VCC-0.4V and VCC-1.2V.
