The PI2EQX6812 is a 2-port/4-channel SAS2/SATA3 ReDriver which can work at up to 6.5Gbps supporting RXAUI for Ethernet network backplane driving applications. This device supports both pin strap and I²C configuration of transmit output level, transmit de-emphasis, and receive equalization. Each of the four channels can be individually configured through I²C. It also supports the auto-slumber mode whereby if the receive input is idle, the transmit output is disabled thus saving power. This product provides an increased output swing of 1.1V and works at 1.2V VDD with a low active power of 100mW per channel and also has power-down standby option. The PI2EQX6812 is available in a space-saving 412-pad QFN (5x11mm) package.
