DESCRIPTION

· IDT's Signal Integrity Products (SIP) address challenges in high-speed signal transmission by compensating for attenuation and jitter.

· The product family includes Repeaters and Retimers designed for various high-speed protocols.

· These devices enhance signal quality over long distances and complex channels, ensuring reliable data transmission.

FEATURES

· Advanced receive equalization and transmit de-emphasis capabilities.

· Support for multiple high-speed protocols including PCIe Gen2, USB 3.0, SAS/SATA, and Serial RapidIO.

· Diagnostic features like loss of signal detection and channel loopback.

· Configurable via I2C, control pins, or EEPROM with power-saving modes for reduced consumption.

· PCIe 3.0 compliant Retimers that support Automatic Link Equalization and extend maximum PCB trace and cable lengths.

APPLICATIONS

· Repeaters and Retimers are used in blade servers, storage systems, and cabled PCIe devices.

· Suitable for USB 3.0 applications in workstations, notebooks, and peripheral devices.

· Effective in SAS/SATA applications for servers, notebooks, and external storage drives.

· Utilized in Serial RapidIO applications for ATCA blades and wireless systems.

· Applied in XAUI applications for routers, switches, and PON access systems.

· Also used in CPRI, OBSAI, Infiniband, and PCIe Gen3 applications across computing, storage, and consumer electronics.
