3 Description

The DS125BR401 device is an extremely low-power high-performance multiprotocol repeater and redriver designed to support four lanes of PCIe Gen-3/2/1, 10G-KR, and other high-speed interface serial protocols up to 12.5 Gbps. The continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) of the receiver provides a boost of up to 30 dB at 6.25 GHz (12.5 Gbps) in each of its eight channels and can open an input eye that is completely closed due to intersymbol interference (ISI) induced by interconnect medium such as backplane traces of 30 inches or more or copper cables of 8 meters or more, hence enabling host controllers to ensure an error-free end-to-end link. The transmitter provides a de-emphasis boost of up to –12 dB and output voltage amplitude control from 700 mV to 1300 mV to allow maximum flexibility in the physical placement within the interconnect channel.
