Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity against the official Diodes Incorporated datasheet before integration. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging and temperature specifications. Ensure the design accommodates the specific 1.05V supply voltage requirement and the 20-TQFN footprint dimensions during PCB layout.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring signal conditioning for SATA3 links up to 6Gbps. It is suitable for applications needing adjustable equalization to compensate for trace losses. Consider its low-power modes if battery life or thermal management is critical for the host platform.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the PI2EQX series of SATA ReDrivers from Diodes Incorporated (formerly Pericom). It serves as a signal integrity solution for extending SATA connections within compact electronic devices. The device complements other interface ICs by providing active signal regeneration rather than passive buffering.
