PI3EQX1204-C
12.5Gbps 4-channel, SAS3 ReDriver with Linear Equalization
Features
Description
ÎÎ1-12.5Gbps serial link with linear equalizer
The PI3EQX1204-C is a SAS3, 4 differential channels ReDriver.
The device provides programmable linear equalization, output
swing and flat gain, by either pin strapping option or I2C Control,
to optimize performance over a variety of physical mediums by
reducing Inter-symbol interference.
ÎÎSupport SATA Gen1/Gen2/Gen3, SAS2/3, and XAUI protocol
ÎÎSupporting 4 differential channels
ÎÎHandle up to 34dB channel loss (42" FR4 trace or 10 meters
or SAS3 cable)
ÎÎIndependent channel configuration of receiver equalization,
output swing and flat gain
ÎÎRate and Coding Agnostic
PI3EQX1204-C supports four 100-Ohm Differential CML data
I/O’s and extends the signals across other distant data pathways
on the user’s platform.
The integrated equalization circuitry provides flexibility with
signal integrity of the signal before the ReDriver, whereas the
integrated linear amplifier/buffer circuitry provides flexibility
with signal integrity of the signal after the ReDriver.
ÎÎTransparent to link training, OOB, Idle
ÎÎ260mW per channel power dissipation with 700 mVpp
output swing
ÎÎPin strap and I 2C selectable device programming
ÎÎ4-bit selectable address bit for I 2C

termination set to 200K and High impedance respectively. Individual Channel Enabling is done through the I2C register
programming.
Equalization Setting:
EQ[3:0] are the selection pins for the equalization selection for each channel.

Reset and I2CM Timing Diagram
I2C Operation
The integrated I2C interface operates as a master or slave device depending on the pin ENI2C being HIZ or HIGH respectively.
Standard mode (100Kbps) is supported with 7-bit addressing. The data byte format is 8-bit bytes, and supports the format of indexing to be compatible with other bus devices. In the Slave mode (ENI2C = HIGH), the device supports Read/Write. The bytes must be
accessed in sequential order from the lowest to the highest byte with the ability to stop after any complete byte has been transferred.
Address bits A3 to A0 are programmable to support multiple chips environment. The Data is loaded until a Stop sequence is issued.
In the master mode (ENI2C = HIZ), PI3EQX1204-C supports up to 16 masters connected in daisy chain through connecting I2C_
DONE pin to I2C_RESET# pin of the next part.

Transferring Data
Every byte put on the SDA line must be 8-bits long. Each byte has to be followed by an acknowledge bit. Data is transferred with the
most significant bit (MSB) first (see the I2C Data Transfer diagram). The PI3EQX1204-C will never hold the clock line SCL LOW to
force the master into a wait state.
Acknowledge
Data transfer with acknowledge is required from the master. When the master releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge
clock pulse, the PI3EQX1204-C will pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse so that it remains stable LOW
during the HIGH period of this clock pulse as indicated in the I2C Data Transfer diagram. The PI3EQX1204-C will generate an
acknowledge after each byte has been received.
Data Transfer
A data transfer cycle begins with the master issuing a start bit. After recognizing a start bit, the PI3EQX1204-C will watch the next
byte of information for a match with its address setting. When a match is found it will respond with a read or write of data on the
following clocks. Each byte must be followed by an acknowledge bit, except for the last byte of a read cycle which ends with a stop
bit. For a write cycle, the first data byte following the address byte is an index byte that is used by the PI3EQX1204-C. Data is transferred with the most significant bit (MSB) first.
I2C Data Transfer
Start & Stop Conditions
A HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH indicates a START condition. A LOW to HIGH transition on the
SDA line while SCL is HIGH defines a STOP condition, as shown in the figure below
