DS160PR810NJXT

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The DS160PR810NJXT is an eight-channel linear redriver designed for PCIe 4.0 and UPI 2.0 interfaces operating up to 16 Gbps. It features a continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) providing up to 18 dB of boost at 8 GHz to compensate for channel loss. The device operates on a single 3.3 V supply with an active power consumption of 107 mW per channel. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 90 ps, additive random jitter of 70 fs, and an input capacitance of 1.5 pF. It supports industrial temperatures from -40°C to 85°C and is housed in a 64-pin WQFN package measuring 5.5 mm by 10 mm.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix NJXT corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format required for automated assembly. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards as specified in the manufacturer's documentation. Ensure the design accommodates the 64-pin WQFN thermal requirements and PCB layout guidelines provided in the datasheet.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring low-latency signal regeneration for PCIe 4.0 links up to 16 Gbps. Consider the 8-channel capacity for x8 or x16 configurations. Evaluate the need for SMBus/I2C programmability versus fixed pin-strapped settings based on system flexibility requirements.
