The GN1406 is a quad retiming redriver designed for 2.5Gb/s and 5.0Gb/s or 3.125Gb/s and 6.25Gb/s
high-speed data. The GN1406 extends the reach and robustness of high-speed serial links by
compensating for losses in the transmission medium and resetting the jitter budget.
The GN1407 is a quad channel redriver designed for 1.25Gb/s to 8Gb/s high-speed data. It extends the
reach and robustness of high-speed serial links by compensating for loss in the transmission medium.
Both the GN1406 and GN1407 support independent channel configuration enabling host design flexibility
and channel customization. The GN1406 and GN1407 are pin compatible.
