Multi-Channel PCIe Gen 4 Linear Equalizer
- This page contains information on a product that is no longer manufactured (discontinued). Specifications and information herein are available for historical reference only.
PTN3944 is a high-performance multi-channel (x4) linear equalizer that is optimized for PCIe 4.0, UPI and similar high-speed interfaces. PTN3944 addresses high-speed signal quality enhancement requirements for implementation of PCIe and UPI interfaces.
The device provides programmable linear equalization, output swing linearity control by pin strapping or I²C control to improve signal integrity and enable channel extension by reducing Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI). The equalizer supports use across a variety of channel conditions. PTN3944 supports entering into deep standby state using an I²C register write.
PTN3944 is powered from a 1.8 V supply. It is available in a small high performance HWFLGA36 package.
