Diodes’ Pi3EQX16904GL linear ReDriver is compliant with PCIe 4.0 and backward compatible with PCIe 3.0/2.0/1.0. The Pi3EQX16904GL has four differential channels providing programmable linear equalization output swing and flat gain. The equalization is controlled by either the pin-strapping option or I2C control. This linear ReDriver optimizes performance over a variety of physical media by reducing inter-symbol interference. The Pi3EQX16904GL is used to extend PCB trace lengths while minimizing cost and power consumption. The device can also deliver lower latency. Operating from a supply voltage of 3.3 V, the device operates over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
