PI2EQX6804-ANJEX

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The PI2EQX6804-ANJEX is a low-power ReDriver designed for SAS2.0, SATA3.0, and XAUI applications. It supports data rates up to 6.5Gbps across four differential ports or eight differential channels. The device operates on a single 1.2V ± 0.05V supply voltage and features 50Ω input/output termination. Configuration is managed via pin-strapping or I2C controls that are 3.3V tolerant. The component utilizes eight select bits to adjust receiver equalization and transmitter amplitude/emphasis, optimizing signal integrity over various physical mediums.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Diodes Incorporated documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the required 1.2V supply voltage and 3.3V I2C interface levels during integration planning.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when designing high-speed serial links requiring signal re-conditioning for SAS2.0 or SATA3.0 protocols. Consider its ability to extend drive lengths and improve signal margins in backplane or cable-based connections where eye closure is a concern.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the PI2EQX68 series of ReDrivers from Pericom Semiconductor, now part of Diodes Incorporated. These devices are engineered to maintain signal integrity in high-speed data pathways by actively compensating for channel losses through adjustable equalization and emphasis settings.
