Description
Pericom Semiconductors PI2EQX4401D is a low power,
PCI-Express compliant signal re-driver. The device provides
programmable equalization, ampli cation, and de-emphasis
by using 4 select bits, SEL[0:3], to optimize performance
over a variety of physical mediums by reducing Inter-symbol
interference. PI2EQX4401D supports two 100Ω Differential
CML data I/O’s between the Protocol ASIC to a switch fabric,
across a backplane, or extends the signals across other distant
data pathways on the users platform.
The integrated equalization circuitry provides exibility with
signal integrity of the PCI-express signal before the re-driver.
Whereas the integrated de-emphasis circuitry provides exibility
with signal integrity of the PCI-express signal after the Re-
Driver.
A low-level input signal detection and output squelch function
is provided for both channels. Each channel operates fully
independantly. When a channel is enabled (EN_x=1) and
operating, that channel's input signal level (on xl+/-) determines
whether the output is enabled. If the input level of the channel
falls below the active threshold level (Vth-) then the output driver
switches off, and the pin is pulled to VDD via a high impedance
resistor.
In addition to providing signal re-conditioning, Pericom’s
PI2EQX4401D also provides power management Stand-by
mode operated by a Bus Enable pin. A differential clock buffer
is provided for test and other system requirements. This clock
function is not used by the data channels.

Notes
1. K28.7 pattern is applied differentially at point A as shown in Figure 1.
2. Total jitter does not include the signal source jitter. Total jitter (TJ) = (14.1 × RJ + DJ) where RJ is random RMS jitter and DJ is maximum
deterministic jitter. Signal source is a K28.5 ± pattern (00 1111 1010 11 0000 0101) for the deterministic jitter test and K28.7 (0011111000) or
equivalent for random jitter test. Residual jitter is that which remains after equalizing media-induced losses of the environment of Figure 1 or
its equivalent. The deterministic jitter at point B must be from media-induced loss, and not from clock source modulation. JItter is measured at
0V at point C of Figure 1.
