What are the key features of DS50PCI401SQ?

  • 4-lane PCIe Gen 1 repeater with per-lane adaptive equalization supporting up to 2.5 Gbps per lane
  • Differential input/output architecture with 120 µA input bias current enabling long PCB trace re-drive
  • 54-pin QCC package optimized for placement between PCIe endpoint and root complex on compact motherboards

What is DS50PCI401SQ used for?

DS50PCI401SQ is used in server motherboards, industrial computers, and embedded computing platforms where PCIe signal integrity degrades over long PCB traces or through connectors. Its adaptive equalization compensates for FR4 dielectric losses on traces longer than 10 inches, making it essential for PCI Express extender cards and backplane-based computing architectures. The device also serves in PCI Express test and measurement equipment that requires clean signal regeneration for reliable link training.

Frequently Asked Questions

What per-lane data rate does DS50PCI401SQ support and how does equalization help signal integrity?

DS50PCI401SQ supports 2.5 Gbps per lane (PCIe Gen 1), and its adaptive equalization compensates for up to 40 dB of channel insertion loss across 4 differential lanes, restoring eye opening at the receiver end of long PCB traces or connector-interrupted paths.

How many differential lanes does DS50PCI401SQ contain and what input current does each lane require?

The device integrates 4 bidirectional differential lanes with a maximum high-level input current of 120 µA per input, enabling low-power integration into server and embedded PCIe topologies without requiring additional bias circuitry.

In which package is DS50PCI401SQ available and what are its lead-free status and end-of-life implications?

DS50PCI401SQ is supplied in a 54-pin QCC (R-XQCC-N54) package and carries a JESD-609 code e0 indicating it is not RoHS-compliant (non-lead-free), so designers targeting RoHS-regulated markets should verify regional compliance requirements before sourcing.

For a PCIe backplane extending a PCIe link 18 inches across a chassis, would DS50PCI401SQ eliminate the need for active cable re-drivers?

Yes, DS50PCI401SQ is designed specifically to re-drive PCIe Gen 1 differential signals over lossy channels of up to 40 dB, meaning a typical 18-inch FR4 backplane trace at 2.5 Gbps, which introduces roughly 15 dB to 25 dB of loss, falls well within its compensation budget without an active cable re-driver.
