PRODUCTION DATA
The SN75LVPE3101 is a PCIe 3.0 x1 redriver. As signals traverse through a channel (like FR4 trace) the amplitude of the signal is attenuated. The attenuation varies depending on the frequency content of the signal. Depending the length of the channel, this attenuation can be large enough to result in signal integrity issues at a PCIe 3.0 receiver. By placing a SN75LVPE3101 between PCIe 3.0 root complex and endpoint, the attenuation effect of the channel can be eliminated or minimized. The result is a PCIe 3.0-compatible eye at the receiver of the endpoint. With up to 16 receiver equalization settings, the SN75LVPE3101 can support many different channel loss combinations. The SN75LVPE3101 ultra-low power architecture offers low power consumption on a single 3.3V supply. The SN75LVPE3101 settings are configurable through pins.
