PCIe 16X Lane Card Evaluation Kit

General Description:

The PCIE16X-800EVK is a PCIe add-in riser card for PCIe 16x applications. It provides a complete
platform to evaluate 4 - DS80PCI800SQ, 8 channels PCIe repeater for PCIe system protocol and lane
negotiation validation. The card has a 16X PCIe edge fingers at J1 which plugs into a motherboard
that has a PCIe 16X connector. The card also has a PCIe 16X connector at J2 for endpoint connection
(PCIe graphic card or SATA/SAS raid controller card).

Features:

■ 8 channel PCIe repeater up to 8 Gbps (GEN 3)
■ Low power consumption, with option to power down unused channels
■ Adjustable receive equalization
■ Adjustable transmit VOD and De-emphasis
■ IDLE detection — squelch function auto mutes the output
■ Programmable via pin selection or SMBus interface
■ Single supply operation: VIN = 3.3V±10% or VDD = 2.5V ±5%
■ -40°C to +85°C Operation
■ >6 kV HBM ESD Rating
■ High speed signal flow–thru pin-out package - SQA54A: 54-pin LLP (10 mm x 5.5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch)

Applications:

■ Extends FR-4 Backplane Trace for PCIe Applications
