DS160PT801ACBT

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The DS160PT801ACBT is an eight-lane (16-channel) protocol-aware PCI-Express retimer supporting data rates up to 16.0 GT/s. It operates on dual power supplies of 1.17 V and 1.8 V, with a maximum voltage of 1.8 V and minimum of 1.17 V. The device supports PCIe Gen 4, 3, 2, and 1 interfaces and features adaptive receive CTLE and DFE for channel loss compensation. It utilizes a 332-pin FCCSP package measuring 8.50 mm by 13.40 mm. Configuration is managed via SMBus at speeds up to 1 MHz, and it functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ACBT suffix indicates the small tape-and-reel carrier configuration containing 250 units per reel. Confirm that the SNAGCU lead finish meets the assembly requirements. Ensure the Level-3 moisture sensitivity rating aligns with the facility's reflow profile capabilities. Validate that the FCCSP package dimensions fit the designated PCB footprint constraints.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when an eight-lane retimer is required for PCIe Gen 4 topologies. The device supports common-clock and independent reference clock architectures. Consider the bifurcation capability if system design requires splitting the link width. Verify compatibility with standard 1.00-mm BGA PCB manufacturing processes for optimal thermal and routing performance.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the DS160PT801 series, which includes variants like the DS160PT801ACBR. Both are active production devices utilizing the same FCCSP package. The primary distinction lies in the packaging quantity and carrier type. The series provides a compact solution for extending reach in complex multi-connector system topologies.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Replacement Considerations

The DS160PT801ACBR serves as a direct alternative with identical electrical specifications but differs in packaging quantity. Both parts share the same FCCSP footprint and pinout. Verify that the change in carrier type does not impact existing pick-and-place equipment settings.
