3 Description

The SN75LVPE3101 is a dual-channel PCI Express

(PCIe) 3.0 x1 redriver. The device offers low power

consumption on a 3.3V supply and is designed to

support PCIe 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 data rates.

The SN75LVPE3101 implements a linear equalizer,

supporting up to 14dB of loss due to inter-symbol

interference (ISI). When PCIe signals travel across a

printed circuit board (PCB) or cable, signal integrity

degrades due to loss and inter-symbol interference.

The linear equalizer compensates for the channel

loss, and thereby, extends the channel length and

enables systems to pass PCIe compliance. The

dual channel implementation and small package

size provides flexibility in the placement of the

SN75LVPE3101 in the PCIe 3.0 data path.

The SN75LVPE3101 is available in a 24-pin 4mm ×

4mm VQFN.
