3 Description

The DS160PT801 is a high-performance eight-lane

(16-channel) PCI-Express protocol-aware retimer

supporting all standard PCIe data rates up to 16

GT/s. It is used to extend the reach and robustness

of high-speed PCIe serial links, from chip-to-chip

motherboard links to more complex multi-connector

system topologies.

The DS160PT801 supports both common-clock and

independent reference clock architectures, with and

without spread-spectrum clocking. This allows for

maximum flexibility in defining the system clock

architecture.

( pulldown,

The eight lanes in the DS160PT801 can be

bifurcated into two x4 links to support different system

topologies.

A compact yet easy-to-manufacture BGA package

provides excellent thermal performance while

enabling optimal placement in space-constrained

applications like 1RU riser cards. This feature reduces

overall solution size, PCB routing complexity, and

BOM cost.

Diagnostic capabilities include in-band receiver

margining, out-of-band non-destructive horizontal

or vertical eye margin monitor, receiver loopback,

encoding error detection, and on die temperature

sensor. These features help gauge link margin and

can be used to monitor system health over time.

The DS160PT801 is configurable through SMBus

interface. The Initial configuration can be

automatically loaded from external EEPROM.
