7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The DS160PR412 is a four channel linear redriver with ingrated demultiplexer (demux). The low-power high-

performance linear repeater or redriver is designed to support PCIe 1.0/2.0/3.0/4.0. The device is a protocol

agnostic linear redriver that can operate for interfaces up to 16 Gbps.

The DS160PR412 can be configured two different ways:

Pin Mode – device control configuration is done solely by strap pins. Pin mode is expected to be good enough

for many system implementation needs.

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Linear Equalization

The DS160PR412 receivers feature a continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) that applies high-frequency boost

to help equalize the frequency-dependent insertion loss effects of the passive channel. Table 7-1 shows

available equalization boost through EQ control pins (EQ1 and EQ0), when in Pin Control mode (MODE = L0).
