PIN I/O DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
MODE 41 I, 4-level Sets device control configuration modes. 4-level IO pin as defined in Table 7-3. The pin can be exercised at device power up or in normal operation mode.
L0: Pin Mode – device control configuration is done solely by strap pins.
L1 or L2: SMBus/I2C Slave Mode – device control configuration is done by an external controller with SMBus/I2C master. This pin along with ADDR pin sets devices slave address.
L3 (Float): RESERVED – TI internal test mode.
EQ0 /ADDR 40 I, 4-level In Pin Mode:
The EQ0 and EQ1 pins sets receiver linear equalization CTLE (AC gain) for all channels according to Table 7-1. These pins are sampled at device power-up only.
In SMBus/I2C Mode:
The ADDR pin in conjunction with MODE pin sets SMBus / I2C slave address according to Table 7-4. The pin is sampled at device power-up only.
EQ1 20 I, 4-level
GAIN /SDA 1 I, 4-level / IO In Pin Mode:
DC gain (broadbad gain including high frequency) from the input to the output of the device for all channels. Note the device also provides AC (high frequency) gain in the form of equalization controlled by EQ pins or SMBus/I2C registers.
In SMBus/I2C Mode:
3.3 V SMBus/I2C data. External pullup resistor such as 4.7 kΩ required for operation.
GND EP, 6, 9, 16, 21, 30, 39 P Ground reference for the device.
EP: the Exposed Pad at the bottom of the QFN package. It is used as the GND return for the device. The EP should be connected to ground plane(s) through low resistance path. A via array provides a low impedance path to GND. The EP also improves thermal dissipation.
RSVD 19 O TI internal test pin. Keep no connect.
PD 18 I, 3.3-V LVCMOS 2-level logic controlling the operating state of the redriver. Active in both Pin Mode and SMBus/I2C Mode. The pin is used part of PCIe RX_DET state machine as outlined in Table 7-2.
High: Power down for all channels
Low: Power up, normal operation for all channels
RX_DET /SCL 42 I, 4-level / IO In Pin Mode:
Sets receiver detect state machine options according to Table 7-2. The pin is sampled at device power-up only.
In SMBus/I2C Mode:
3.3 V SMBus/I2C clock. External pullup resistor such as 4.7 kΩ required for operation.

SEL 17 I, 3.3 V LVCMOS Selects the mux path. Active in both Pin Mode and SMBus/I2C Mode. Note the SEL pin must be exercised in system implementations for mux selection between Port A vs Port B. The pin is used part of PCIe RX_DET state machine as outlined in Table 7-2.
