PI2EQX3232AZDEX

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The PI2EQX3232AZDEX is a low-power signal Re-Driver designed for SATA and SAS applications. It supports data rates up to 3.2Gbps on each lane and features four 100-Ohm differential CML data I/Os. The device provides programmable equalization, amplification, and de-emphasis to optimize performance across various physical mediums by reducing inter-symbol interference (ISI). It operates within a VDD range of 1.8V +/-0.1V and consumes approximately 100mW per channel. The component is housed in a 48-contact TQFN package.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the datasheet version and revision date before implementation. Confirm that the ZDE suffix corresponds to the Pb-free and Green 48-contact TQFN packaging. Ensure the design accommodates the specific thermal via dimensions recommended for the package type.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring signal re-conditioning for SATA or SAS interfaces. It is suitable for extending signals across distant pathways or backplanes where inter-symbol interference is a concern. Ensure the application environment operates within the specified temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the PI2EQX series of serial Re-Drivers manufactured by Pericom Semiconductor, now part of Diodes Incorporated. These devices are engineered to maintain signal integrity in high-speed serial communication links by actively compensating for channel losses.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Replacement Considerations

Check for updated revisions from Diodes Incorporated if sourcing from new distributors. Verify pin compatibility if substituting with other members of the PI2EQX family, as channel counts and package types may vary.
