implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

The DS160PR810 is a high-speed linear repeater which extends the reach of differential channels impaired by

loss from transmission media like PCBs and cables. It can be deployed in a variety of different systems. The

following sections outline typical applications and their associated design considerations.

8.2 Typical Applications

The DS160PR810 is a protocol and interface agnostic linear redriver that can be used in wide range of

interfaces including:

• PCI Express 1.0/2.0/3.0/4.0

• Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) 1.0/2.0

• DisplayPort 2.0

• SAS

• SATA

• XFI

The DS160PR810 is a protocol agnostic linear redriver with PCI Express receiver-detect capability. Its protocol

agnostic nature allows it to be used in PCI Express x4, x8, and x16 applications. Figure 8-1 shows how a

number of DS160PR810 devices can be used to obtain signal conditioning for PCI Express buses of varying

widths.
