SN75LVPE3101 Dual-Channel PCIe 3.0 Linear Redriver

Texas Instruments SN75LVPE3101 Dual-Channel PCIe 3.0 Linear Redriver offers low power consumption on a 3.3V supply and is designed to support PCIe 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 data rates. The SN75LVPE3101 implements a linear equalizer, supporting up to 14dB of loss due to inter-symbol interference (ISI). When PCIe signals travel across a printed circuit board (PCB) or cable, signal integrity degrades due to loss and inter-symbol interference. The linear equalizer compensates for the channel loss, extending the channel length and enabling systems to pass PCIe compliance. The dual-channel implementation and small package size provide flexibility in the placement of the SN75LVPE3101 in the PCIe 3.0 data path. The Texas Instruments SN75LVPE3101 is available in a 24-pin 4mm × 4mm VQFN.
