MAX14950 Datasheet Quad PCI Express Equalizer/Redriver

Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices)

General Description

The MAX14950 is a quad equalizer/redriver designed to improve PCI Express® (PCIe) signal integrity by providing programmable input equalization at its receiver and programmable redrive circuitry.

The output circuitry reestablishes deemphasis lost on the board and compensates for circuit-board loss.

The device permits optimal placement of key PCIe components.

Overview

EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE MAX14950 Quad PCI Express Equalizer/Redriver.

Key Features

  • electrical idle and receiver detection on each channel. It is optimized for PCIe Gen III (8.0GT/s) and Gen II (5.0GT/s) data rates, while still handling Gen I (2.5GT/s). The MAX14950 is available in a small, lead-free, 42-pin (3.5mm x 9.0mm) TQFN package for optimal layout and minimal space requirements. The device is specified over the 0NC to +70NC operating temperature range.
