PI2EQX6812ZHEX

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The PI2EQX6812 is a low-power SAS2, SATA, and XAUI ReDriver featuring four differential channels or two lanes. It supports data rates up to 6.5Gbps with programmable equalization and de-emphasis via pin strapping or I2C control. The device operates on a single 1.2V ± 0.05V supply. Typical active current is -95mA per channel, while standby current is -1mA. Slumber mode draws approximately -10mA per channel. It includes 50-Ohm input/output termination and mux/demux capabilities in a 42-contact TQFN package.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters FAQ

How is the PI2EQX6812 configured?

Configuration is achieved through either pin strapping options or I2C control, allowing for adjustable receiver equalization, transmitter amplitude, de-emphasis, and input threshold levels.

What power modes does the device support?

The device supports an active mode, a power down standby mode controlled by a Power Down pin or I2C register, and an automatic slumber mode that activates when the input is idle.

What is the typical current consumption in slumber mode?

The typical slumber current is approximately -10mA per channel.
