PI3EQX8904

Description
The PI3EQX8904 is a PCIe, 4 differential channels  ReDriver. The device provides programmable linear equalization, output swing and gain, by either pin strapping option or I²C Control, to optimize performance over a variety of physical mediums by reducing Inter-symbol interference.
PI3EQX8904 supports four 100-Ohm Differential CML data I/O’s and extends the signals across other distant data pathways on the user’s platform.
The programmable settings can be applied easily via pins, software (I²C) or loaded via an external EEPROM. When operating in the EEPROM mode, the configuration information is automatically loaded on power up, which eliminates the need for an external microprocessor or software driver.
