Diodes' 1.8V PCIe 4.0 redriver can extend the length of PCB lines while minimizing power consumption

Diodes (NASDAQ: diod) further strengthens its PCIe ® Solution series, adding a new redriver with high data transmission rate ™ Device. Pi2eqx16924 is a PCIe 4.0 redriver that can operate through a 1.8V voltage rail. Other competitive solutions must use a 3.3V voltage rail, so it is suitable for a variety of computing and data communication products.

The power consumption of pi2eqx16924 in active and low power consumption modes is only 288mw and 27mw respectively, which is a very important feature of saving battery power in portable product applications.

The device has four differential channels and can independently set the receiver equalization and flattening gain. This can reduce inter symbol interference and allow compensation for signal loss, thus achieving a longer PCB line length. Since the I2C interface is used for setting, the requirements for firmware are extremely low.

Pi2eqx16924 can handle data transmission rates up to 16gbps. The device complies with the PCIe 4.0 standard, and is backward compatible with the standards of PCIe generation 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. Supports the industrial temperature range of - 40 ° C to 85 ° C.

Pi2eqx16924 redriver adopts 32 pin x2-qfn package.
