MAX14950
MAX14950 is Quad PCI Express Equalizer/Redriver manufactured by Maxim Integrated.
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 pensates for circuit-board loss. The device permits optimal placement of key PCIe ponents. The device is useful with stripline, microstrip printed circuits, and balanced 100I cable.
The device is tailored for PCIe and 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.
