Description
Pericom Semiconductor’s PI2EQX4401 is a low power, PCI-
Express compliant signal re-driver. The device provides
programmable equalization, amplification, and de-emphasis
by using 4 select bits, SEL[0:3], to optimize performance
over a variety of physical mediums by reducing Inter-symbol
interference. PI2EQX4401 supports two 100 Differential CML
data I/O’s between the Protocol ASIC to a switch fabric, across
a backplane, or extends the signals across other distant data
pathways on the user’s platform.
The integrated equalization circuitry provides flexibility with
signal integrity of the PCI Express signal before the re-driver.
Whereas the integrated de-emphasis circuitry provides flexibility
with signal integrity of the PCI Express signal after the re-driver.
In addition to providing signal re-conditioning, Pericom’s
PI2EQX4401 also provides power management Stand-by mode
operated by a Bus Enable pin.

Notes
1. K28.7 pattern is applied differentially at point A as shown in Figure 1.
2. Total jitter does not include the signal source jitter. Total jitter (TJ) = (14.1 × RJ + DJ) where RJ is random RMS jitter and DJ is maximum
deterministic jitter. Signal source is a K28.5 ± pattern (00 1111 1010 11 0000 0101) for the deterministic jitter test and K28.7 (0011111000) or
equivalent for random jitter test. Residual jitter is that which remains after equalizing media-induced losses of the environment of Figure 1 or
its equivalent. The deterministic jitter at point B must be from media-induced loss, and not from clock source modulation. JItter is measured at
0V at point C of Figure 1.
