89HP0608RZBABG

Overview

The Renesas 89HP0608RZBABG is an eight-channel SAS/SATA signal repeater designed for high-speed data transmission. It operates at a maximum data rate of 6 Gbps and supports protocols including SAS and SATA. The device is housed in a 100-pin CABGA package with dimensions of 9.0 x 9.0 mm and a pitch of 0.8 mm. It features advanced signal conditioning, diagnostic capabilities, and power-saving modes. Configuration is managed via an I2C interface. The component supports commercial and industrial temperature ranges and includes built-in mux/demux functionality for fail-over support.

Feature Summary

• Eight-channel signal repeater architecture optimized for SAS and SATA protocols
• Advanced signal conditioning and diagnostic features for signal integrity
• I2C programming interface for flexible configuration and control
• Built-in multiplexer/demultiplexer support for fail-over redundancy

Applications

• High-performance computing systems requiring reliable storage connectivity
• Enterprise storage area networks (SANs) and direct-attached storage (DAS)
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

This component is identified as End-of-Life (EOL). Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or obsolete inventory. Buyers should confirm the specific manufacturing date code and RoHS compliance status directly with suppliers, as EOL products may have varying conditions. Replacement planning is recommended due to discontinuation status.

Selection Notes

Select this part when an eight-channel SAS/SATA repeater with 6 Gbps capability is required. Ensure the design accommodates the 100-CABGA surface-mount package. Verify that the system environment supports the specified operating temperature range. Consider the I2C interface requirements for configuration logic. Evaluate alternative components if long-term supply stability is critical, given the EOL status.

Part Context

The 89HP0608R belongs to the IDT/Renesas 89HP0608S family of signal repeaters. This series provides analog performance and low power consumption for demanding computing and storage applications. The R suffix typically denotes specific packaging or material variations within the broader 89HP0608 product line, which also includes variants like the XZBABGI for XAUI protocols.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the End-of-Life status, engineers must evaluate pin-compatible or functionally equivalent alternatives from Renesas or other manufacturers. Cross-reference datasheets for protocol support, channel count, and package dimensions before substitution.
