Diodes' PI2EQX6804-A is a low power, SAS2, SATA, XAUI signal ReDriver™. The device provides programmable equalization, amplification, and de-emphasis by either pin strapping option or I2C control to optimize performance over a variety of physical mediums by reducing Inter-symbol interference. PI2EQX6804-A supports eight 100-Ohm Differential CML data I/O’s between the Protocol ASIC to a switch fabric, across a backplane, or 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 de-emphasis circuitry provides flexibility with signal integrity of the signal after the ReDriver.

In addition to providing signal re-conditioning, Diodes' PI2EQX6804-A also provides power management Stand-by mode operated by a Power Down pin, or through I2C register.
