PI3EQX6741STZDE

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The PI3EQX6741STZDE is a single-port SATA3 ReDriver designed for 6Gbps data transmission. It features two 100Ω differential CML I/O pairs and operates on a 3.3V ±10% supply voltage. The device integrates adjustable receiver equalization, selectable output pre-emphasis, and swing control to mitigate inter-symbol interference across backplanes or distant pathways. Typical power consumption is 254mW in active mode, reducing to 36mW in auto-slumber and 0.7mW maximum in power-down standby. It includes input signal level detection, squelch functions, and termination detect indications for power management.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Feature Summary

• Supports SATA3 standard with automatic HDD rate detection for optimized output settings
• Integrates programmable equalization and pre-emphasis to enhance signal integrity over various physical mediums
• Provides independent channel operation with input signal detection and output squelch capabilities
• Features low-power modes including auto-slumber and power-down standby triggered by termination detection

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Applications

• External SATA disk drive connections
• Notebook PC internal storage interfaces
• HDD to chipset signal extension
• Backplane signal re-driving

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the component against the official Pericom/Diodes Incorporated datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure the 20-TQFN package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Confirm that the 3.3V supply requirements align with the system design before integration.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component when extending SATA signals across backplanes or long traces requiring signal regeneration. It is suitable for applications needing adjustable equalization to compensate for channel loss. Consider its low-power standby features for battery-operated devices like notebooks where power efficiency during idle states is critical.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This part belongs to the PI3EQX series of SATA ReDrivers from Diodes Incorporated (formerly Pericom). It is functionally similar to the PI3EQX7711ST but tailored for specific port configurations. The series focuses on low-power signal conditioning for SATA interfaces in portable and desktop computing environments.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Replacement Considerations

The PI3EQX7711ST is a related model within the same product family. Verify functional equivalence regarding port count and interface standards before substitution. Ensure pin-to-pin compatibility and identical power supply requirements are met.
