SN75LVPE3410RNQT

Overview

The SN75LVPE3410RNQT is a quad-channel linear redriver designed for PCI Express 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 interfaces up to 8 Gbps. It operates on a single 3.3-V supply with an internal voltage regulator. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 70 ps, additive random jitter of 60 fs (typical), and CTLE boost of up to 12 dB at 4 GHz. The device features return loss of -17 dB at 4 GHz and active power consumption of 124 mW per channel. It supports x2, x4, x8, and x16 bus widths and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates continuous-time linear equalizers (CTLE) to compensate for inter-symbol interference in lossy channels.
• Supports configuration via pin-strap settings or SMBus/I2C interface for flexible system integration.
• Includes automatic receiver detection state machine compatible with PCIe link training protocols.
• Features low latency and high linearity to preserve transmit preset signal characteristics.

Applications

• Desktop PC motherboards
• Notebook PCs
• Data storage systems
• Industrial computer on module

Procurement Notes

Verify the RNQT suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging suitable for automated assembly. Confirm the component meets RoHS compliance standards required for your manufacturing process. Ensure the ordering code matches the specific package variant needed for your PCB layout design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when extending reach for PCIe Gen 1/2/3 signals up to 8 Gbps. Consider its protocol-agnostic nature if supporting SAS or SATA alongside PCIe. Evaluate thermal requirements based on the 124 mW/channel active power consumption and available board space for the WQFN package.

Part Context

This part belongs to Texas Instruments' LVPE series of high-speed linear redrivers. It complements other devices like the SN75LVPE3101 by offering four independent channels for wider bus configurations. The technology focuses on transparent signal conditioning without adding significant latency to the data path.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing designs before considering alternative components from other manufacturers.
