DS160PR412-421EVM Evaluation Module ABSTRACT The DS160PR412-421EVM evaluation module provides a complete high-bandwidth platform for evaluating the signal conditioning features of the DS160PR412 and DS160PR421 Quad-Channel PCI Express 4.0 Linear Redrivers. This evaluation board can be used for standard compliance testing, performance evaluation, and initial system prototyping.
Introduction 1 Introduction The DS160PR412-421EVM features two DS160PR412 and two DS160PR421 linear redrivers that can extend the transmission distance of a PCIe Gen-4 x8 bus. The EVM can be directly plugged into a PCIe slot on a server or PC motherboard using the PCIe Edge connector on the board and paired with a PCIe add-in card using one of the two PCIe connectors on the EVM.
