Ruggedized Quad PCIe Redriver with Equalization and Extended Temperature Operation
General Description
The MAX14954 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 100Ω cable.
The device is tailored for PCIe and Features electrical idle and receiver detection on each channel. It is...
