DS80PCI402
2.5 Gbps / 5.0 Gbps / 8.0 Gbps 4 Lane PCI Express
Repeater with Equalization and De-Emphasis
With a low power consumption and control to turn-off unused
channels, the DS80PCI402 is part of PowerWise family of
energy efficient devices.
General Description
The DS80PCI402 is a low power, 4 lane repeater with 4-stage
input equalization, and output de-emphasis driver to enhance
the reach of PCI express serial links in board-to-board or ca-
ble interconnects. Ideal for x4 (or lower) PCI express config-
uration, the DS80PCI402 automatically detects and adapts to
Gen-1, Gen-2 and Gen-3 data rates for easy system upgrade.
Features
Comprehensive family, proven system inter-operability
■
DS80PCI102 : x1 PCIe Gen-1/2/3
DS80PCI402 : x4 PCIe Gen-1/2/3
DS80PCI800 : x8/x16 PCIe Gen-1/2/3
Each channel supports seamless detection and management
of the new Gen-3 transmit equalizer coefficients (FIR tap)
handshake protocol and PCIe control signals such as transmit
idle, beacon etc. without external system intervention. An au-
tomatic receive detection circuitry controls the input termina-
tion impedance based upon endpoint insertion (hot-plug
events). These features guarantee PCIe interoperability at
both the electrical and system level, while reducing design
complexity.
Automatic rate detect and adaptation to Gen-1/2/3 speeds

■
Seamless support for Gen-3 transmit FIR handshake
Rate adaptive receive EQ (up to 36 dB), transmit
deemphasis (up to 12 dB) only Gen-1/2
Adjustable Transmit VOD: 0.8 to 1.3 Vp-p (pin mode)

0.2 UI of residual deterministic jitter at 8 Gbps after 40” of
FR4 or 10m 30awg PCIe Cable
Powered by National’s SiGe BiCMOS process, DS80PCI402
offers programmable transmit de-emphasis (up to 12 dB),
transmit VoD (up to 1300 mVp-p) and receive equalization (up
to 36 dB) to enable longer distance transmission in lossy cop-
per cables (10m+), or backplanes (40”+) with multiple con-
nectors. The receiver is capable of opening an input eye that
is completely closed due to inter-symbol interference (ISI) in-
troduced by the interconnect medium.
Low power dissipation with ability to turnoff unused
channels: 65 mW/channel
Automatic receiver detect (hot-plug)

■
Multiple configuration modes: Pins/SMbus/Direct-
EEPROM load
Flow-thru pinout: 54-pin LLP (10 mm x 5.5 mm, 0.5 mm
pitch)
■
Single supply voltage: 2.5V or 3.3V (selectable)

The programmable settings can be applied easily via pins,
software (SMBus/I2C) or loaded via an external EEPROM.
When operating in the EEPROM mode, the configuration in-
formation is automatically loaded on power up, which elimi-
nates the need for an external microprocessor or software
driver.
