Pericom Semiconductor’s PI3EQX1204-C is an SAS3, four differential channel ReDriver. The device provides programmable linear equalization, output swing, and flat gain, by either a pin strapping option or I²C control, to optimize performance over a variety of physical mediums by reducing inter-symbol interference.

PI3EQX1204-C supports four 100 Ω differential CML data I/Os and extends the signals across other distant data pathways on the user’s platform.

The integrated equalization circuitry provides flexibility with signal integrity of the signal before the ReDriver, whereas the integrated linear amplifier/buffer circuitry provides flexibility with signal integrity of the signal after the ReDriver.
