EQCO31X20C1T-I/8EX

Overview

The EQCO31X20C1T-I/8EX is a CoaXPress 2.0 transmitter/receiver/repeater from Microchip Technology, supporting data rates up to 3.125 Gbps. It operates on a single 1.25V supply and utilizes a 16-QFN (4x4 mm) package with an exposed pad for surface mount installation. The device integrates video equalization capabilities within a compact form factor designed for professional video applications.

Feature Summary

• Supports CoaXPress 2.0 standard for high-speed video transmission
• Integrates video equalization functions for signal integrity
• Operates as a transmitter, receiver, or repeater in a single chip

Applications

• Professional video systems
• Industrial machine vision
• Medical imaging equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /8EX against the official datasheet to confirm the tape and reel packaging configuration. Ensure the voltage supply requirements match the system design, as the device specifies a 1.25V operating voltage. Confirm the 16-QFN package dimensions align with the PCB footprint before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when CoaXPress 2.0 compliance is required for video links up to 3.125 Gbps. The integrated equalizer simplifies board layout by reducing external passive components. Consider the 1.25V supply constraint and thermal dissipation needs of the QFN package during system design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EQCO31X20 series of CoaXPress devices from Microchip Technology. These components are designed to replace discrete solutions by combining transmitter, receiver, and repeater functionalities into a single integrated circuit, streamlining the design of high-bandwidth video interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same EQCO31X20 family, such as the EQCO31X20C1T-I/3DW, noting that package variations may exist. Verify functional equivalence regarding CoaXPress version support and data rate limits before substituting.
