DESCRIPTION
The DS50PCI402 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 DS50PCI402 to
the PCI Express endpoint. The DS50PCI402 contains PCI Express specific functions such as Transmit Idle, RX
Detection, and Beacon signal pass through.
The device provides automatic receive detection circuitry which controls the input termination impedance. By
automatically reflecting the current load impedance seen on the outputs back to the corresponding inputs the
DS50PCI402 becomes completely transparent to both the PCIe root complex and endpoint. 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.
