SNLS419D July 2012 – May 2015 DS125BR401
PRODUCTION DATA.
When operating in 10G-KR, and PCIe Gen-3 mode, the DS125BR401 allows the host controller and the end point to optimize the full link and negotiate transmit equalizer coefficients. This transparency to the link training protocol can extend the maximum channel loss with minimum latency. With a low power consumption of 65 mW/channel (typical) and the option to turn off unused channels, the DS125BR401 enables energy efficient system design. A single supply of 3.3 V or 2.5 V is required to power the device.
The programmable settings can be applied easily through pins, software (SMBus or I2C), or loaded through an external EEPROM. When operating in the EEPROM mode, the configuration information is automatically loaded on power up, which eliminates the need for an external microprocessor or software driver.
