Retimer boosts performance of PCIe 3.0
The industry's first PCI Express 3.0 signal conditioning retimer has been touted by IDT.
Called EyeBoost, the device is designed to improve PCIe performance and reliability by restoring signal quality across long or noisy connections in computing, storage and communications applications.
The 32channel (16lane) module is capable of 8Gb/s per channel transfers, providing a total of 256Gb/s of communication bandwidth for data intensive applications.
The 89HT0832P is protocol aware to support the PCIe 3.0-compliant equalisation procedure for receiver and transmitter configuration, easing system design-in complexity and insuring reliable low bit error rate operation.
Sean Fan, vice president and general manager of the Interface and connectivity division at IDT, said: "Our latest EyeBoost PCIe retimers offer a fully compliant, high performance solution for up to 16lanes, and complement our 8 and 4lane PCIe 3.0 retimers to form the most complete portfolio in the industry."
