PI3EQX10908AZFE

The PI3EQX10908AZFE is a low-voltage, low-power, equalizing, 8-channel, non-inverting buffer designed for high-speed serial data transmission. The device features eight equalizing, non-inverting buffers designed to interface with series termination networks. The input equalizer can be used to equalize transmitted data lines and provide improved system performance.

The Equalizer Interface Function:

The PI3EQX10908AZFE Equalizer Interface implements four functions:

• Buffer: It buffers high-speed input signals at 22 mV PP and translates them to 22 mV PP output signals for high-speed transmission or for buffering of high-speed impedance mismatched signals.
• Signal Splitter: It splits 8 low-power signals into 8 identical low-power signals.
• Signal Cloner: It clones 8 signals into 16 identical signals.
• Signal Repeater: It replicates 8 input signals and send them back to the transmitter in the same order.

Working Principle:

The PI3EQX10908AZFE utilizes its four Equalizer Interface Functions to connect logical high-speed signals over extended transmission lines. The four functions are used to increase signal transmission distance, improve signal integrity and/or improve signal to noise ratio. The Equalizer Interface Function functions are as follows:

The Buffer Function: The PI3EQX10908AZFE buffer module converts the transmitted signal into two identical low-power output signals, each an equivalent of the original signal. The output signals are connected across the transmission line to preserve signal integrity. This helps in eliminating the reflections that may take place at the end of the line if the signal is not buffered.

The Signal Splitter Function: The signal Splitter function in the PI3EQX10908AZFE reduces the signal output level to create 8 identical and uncorrelated output signals. This helps in providing signal redundancy by allowing multiple parallel data paths and improved signal-to-noise ratio.

The Signal Cloner Function: The signal cloner function in the PI3EQX10908AZFE increases the signal output level to create 16 identical output signals from 8 original inputs. This helps in increasing the signal transmission distance by providing additional signal redundancy.

The Signal Repeater Function: The signal repeater function in the PI3EQX10908AZFE replicates 8 input signals and send them back to the transmitter in the same order. This helps in increasing signal transmission distance as the signals are sent back with the same signal integrity as the signal was originally sent.

The Application Field:

The PI3EQX10908AZFE is designed for high performance and easy of use in a variety of interface, signal buffering and equalizing applications. The device is commonly used in high-speed communication systems, such as the transmission of high speed signals on computer systems, network equipment, and AV systems. Its low-voltage and low-power characteristic allows it to be used in portable devices, boards and systems, as well as environments with tight power constraints. The PI3EQX10908AZFE is also used in HDTV systems, as it allows for easy interfacing of digital video signals with altered timing parameters.

Conclusion:

The PI3EQX10908AZFE is an 8-channel, low-voltage, low-power, equalizing, non-inverting buffer designed for high-speed serial data transmission. It is a versatile device that can be used in a wide variety of signal buffering, signal splitter, signal cloner and signal repeater applications. The device has applications in both signal transmission systems as well as HDTV systems.
