The DS160PR410 device is a low-power high-performance linear repeater / redriver designed to support PCIe Gen-1, 2, 3, and 4. The receiver’s continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) provides a programmable high-frequency boost followed by a linear output driver. The CTLE receiver can open an input eye that is completely closed due to inter-symbol interference (ISI) induced by an interconnect medium, such as PC board traces or twin-axial copper cables. The programmable equalization maximizes the flexibility of physical placement within the interconnect channel and improves overall channel performance.
