DESCRIPTION
The DS50PCI401 is a low power, 4 lane bidirectional
buffer/equalizer designed specifically for PCI Express
Gen1 and Gen2 applications. The device performs
both receive equalization and transmit de-emphasis,
allowing maximum flexibility of physical placement
within a system. The receiver is capable of opening
an input eye that is completely closed due to inter-
symbol interference (ISI) induced by the interconnect
medium.
The transmitter de-emphasis level can be set by the
user depending on the distance from the
DS50PCI401 to the PCI Express endpoint. The
DS50PCI401 contains PCI Express specific functions
such as Transmit Idle, RX Detection, and Beacon
signal pass through.
The device will change the load impedance on its
input pins based on the state of RXDETA/B inputs
detection. An internal rate detection circuit is included
to detect if an incoming data stream is at Gen2 data
rates, and adjusts the de-emphasis on it's output
accordingly. The signal conditioning provided by the
device allows systems to upgrade from Gen1 data
rates to Gen2 without reducing their physical reach.
This is true for FR4 applications such as backplanes,
as well as cable interconnect.
