PCIe 3.0 8Gbps 1-lane redriver with low standby power

The SN75LVPE3101 is a dual-channel PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 x1 redriver. The device 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, and thereby, extends the channel length and enables systems to pass PCIe compliance. The dual channel implementation and small package size provides flexibility in the placement of the SN75LVPE3101 in the PCIe 3.0 data path.

The SN75LVPE3101 is available in a 24-pin 4mm × 4mm VQFN.
