2.5 Gbps / 5.0 Gbps / 8.0 Gbps 8 Channel PCI Express
Repeater with Equalization and De-Emphasis
General Description
The DS80PCI800 is a low power, 8 channel repeater with 4-
stage input equalization, and output de-emphasis driver to
enhance the reach of PCI express serial links in board-to-
board or cable interconnects. Ideal for higher density x8 and
x16 PCI express configurations, the DS80PCI800 automati-
cally detects and adapts to Gen-1, Gen-2 and Gen-3 data
rates for easy system upgrade.
Each channel supports seamless detection and management
of the new Gen-3 transmit equalizer coefficients (FIR tap)
handshake protocol and PCIe control signals such as transmit
idle, beacon etc. without external system intervention. An au-
tomatic receive detection circuitry controls the input termina-
tion impedance based upon endpoint insertion (hot-plug
events). These features guarantee PCIe interoperability at
both the electrical and system level, while reducing design
complexity.
Powered by National’s SiGe BiCMOS process, DS80PCI800
offers programmable transmit de-emphasis (up to 12 dB),
transmit VOD (up to 1300 mVp-p) and receive equalization
(up to 36 dB) to enable longer distance transmission in lossy
copper cables (10m+), or backplanes (40”+) with multiple
connectors. The receiver is capable of opening an input eye
that is completely closed due to inter-symbol interference (ISI)
introduced by the interconnect medium.
The programmable settings can be applied easily via pins,
software (SMBus/I2C) or loaded via an external EEPROM.
When operating in the EEPROM mode, the configuration in-
formation is automatically loaded on power up, which elimi-
nates the need for an external microprocessor or software
driver.
With a low power consumption and control to turn-off unused
channels, the DS80PCI800 is part of National's PowerWise
family of energy efficient devices.
