2.5 Gbps / 5.0 Gbps 4 Lane PCI Express Repeater with
Equalization and De-Emphasis
General Description
The DS50PCI402 is a low power, 4 lane bidirectional buffer/
equalizer designed specifically for PCI Express Gen1 and
Gen2 applications. The device performs both receive equal-
ization and transmit de-emphasis, allowing maximum flexibil-
ity of physical placement within a system. The receiver is
capable of opening an input eye that is completely closed due
to inter-symbol interference (ISI) induced by the interconnect
medium.
The transmitter de-emphasis level can be set by the user de-
pending on the distance from the DS50PCI402 to the PCI
Express endpoint. The DS50PCI402 contains PCI Express
specific functions such as Transmit Idle, RX Detection, and
Beacon signal pass through.
The device provides automatic receive detection circuitry
which controls the input termination impedance. By automat-
ically reflecting the current load impedance seen on the out-
puts back to the corresponding inputs the DS50PCI402
becomes completely transparent to both the PCIe root com-
plex and endpoint. An internal rate detection circuit is included
to detect if an incoming data stream is at Gen2 data rates,
and adjusts the de-emphasis on it's output accordingly. The
signal conditioning provided by the device allows systems to
upgrade from Gen1 data rates to Gen2 without reducing their
physical reach. This is true for FR4 applications such as back-
planes, as well as cable interconnect.

DS50PCI402
Functional Description
The DS50PCI402 is a low power media compensation 4 lane
repeater optimized for PCI Express Gen 1 and Gen 2 media
including lossy FR-4 printed circuit board backplanes and
balanced cables. The DS50PCI402 operates in two modes:
Pin Control Mode (ENSMB = 0) and SMBus Mode (ENSMB
= 1).
Pin Control Mode:
When in pin mode (ENSMB = 0) , the repeater is configurable
with external pins. Equalization and de-emphasis can be se-
lected via pin for each side independently. When de-empha-
sis is asserted VOD is automatically increased per the De-
Emphasis table below for improved performance over lossy
media. The receiver detect pins RXDETA/B provide manual
control for input termination (50Ω or >50KΩ). Rate optimiza-
tion is also pin controllable, with pin selections for 2.5Gbps,
5Gbps, and auto detect. The receiver electrical idle detect
threshold is also programmable via an optional external re-
sistor on the SD_TH pin.
SMBUS Mode:
When in SMBus mode the equalization, de-emphasis, and
termination disable features are all programmable on a indi-
vidual lane basis, instead of grouped by sides as in the pin
mode case. Upon assertion of ENSMB the RATE, EQx and
DEMx functions revert to register control immediately. The
EQx and DEMx pins are converted to AD0-AD3 SMBus ad-
dress inputs. The other external control pins remain active
unless their respective registers are written to and the appro-
priate override bit is set, in which case they are ignored until
ENSMB is driven low. On powerup and when ENSMB is driv-
en low all registers are reset to their default state. If PRSNT
is asserted while ENSMB is high, the registers retain their
current state.
Equalization settings accessible via the pin controls were
chosen to meet the needs of most PCIe applications. If addi-
tional fine tuning or adjustment is needed, additional equal-
ization settings can be accessed via the SMBus registers.
Each input has a total of 24 possible equalization settings.
The tables show a typical gain for each gain stage (GST[1:0])
and boost level (BST[2:0]) combination. When using SMBus
mode, the Equalization and De-Emphasis levels are set using
registers.

Receiver Detection
The Rx detection process is a feature that can set the number
of active channels on the DS50PCI402. By sensing the pres-
ence of a valid PCIe load on the output, the channel can be
automatically enabled for operation. This allows the DS50P-
CI402 to configure inself to the proper lane width, whether it
is a 4-lane, 2-lane, or 1-lane PCIe link.
Automatic Rx Detection is enabled by a combination of
PRSNT# and ENRXDET inputs. When these inputs are set
low, Automatic Rx Detection is enabled, cycling of the
PRSNT# pin will reset the Rx detection circuitry, initiating a
new receiver detection sequence. Pulling the ENRXDET in-
put to logic 1, allows for manual control of the input termina-
tion.
The table below summarizes control pin and receiver detect
operation for the DS50PCI402.

initialized on the falling edge of PRSNT#.
RX Detect: Range of Operation
The Rx detection process used in the DS50PCI402 is de-
signed to be fully compliant with the PCIe 2.0 base specifica-
tion. The receiver detection circuitry will accurately detect a
receiver when both conditions listed below are true:
DS50PCI402 within Recommended Operating Range for
Temperature and Supply Voltage
For receiver ZRX-DC = 40 (min) to 60 (max) Ohms
Note: To ensure robust system operation, the DS50PCI402
will only signal a valid receiver detection if both halves of the
differential output pair detect a proper 40 - 60 Ohm receiver
impedance. If the receiver detection circuitry senses a load
impedance greater than ZRX-DC on either trace of a differential
pair, it will be interpreted as no termination load present (i.e.
the corresponding DS50PCI402 input termination will remain
High-Z).

Manual Control Of RXDETA/B In A
PCIe Environment
In some cases manual control of RXDETA/B may be desir-
able. In order for upstream and downstream PCIe subsys-
tems to communicate in a cabling environment, the PCIe
specification includes several auxiliary or sideband signals to
manage system-level functionality or implementation. Similar
methods are used in backplane applications, but the exact
implementation falls outside the PCIe standard. Initial com-
munication from the downstream subsystem to the upstream
subsystem is done with the CPRSNT# auxiliary signal. The
CPRSNT# signal is asserted Low by the downstream com-
ponentry after the "Power Good" condition has been estab-
lished. This mechanism allows for the upstream subsystem
to determine whether the power is good within the down-
stream subsystem, enable the reference clock, and initiate
the Link Training Sequence.
30107312
FIGURE 2. Typical PCIe System Timing
The signals shown in the graphic could be easily replicated
within the downstream subsystem and used to externally con-
trol the common mode input termination impedance on the
DS50PCI402. Often an onboard microcontroller will be used
to handle events like power-up, power-down, power saving
modes, and hot insertion. The microcontroller would use the
same information to determine when to enable and disable
the DS50PCI402 input termination. In applications that re-
quire SMBus control, the microcontroller could also delay any
response to the upstream subsystem to allow sufficient time
to correctly program the DS50PCI402 and other devices on
the board.

System Management Bus (SMBus)
and Configuration Registers
The System Management Bus interface is compatible to SM-
Bus 2.0 physical layer specification. ENSMB must be pulled
high to enable SMBus mode and allow access to the config-
uration registers.
The DS50PCI402 has the AD[3:0] inputs in SMBus mode.
These pins are the user set SMBus slave address inputs. The
AD[3:0] pins have internal pull-down. When left floating or
pulled low the AD[3:0] = 0000'b, the device default address
byte is A0'h. Based on the SMBus 2.0 specification, the
DS50PCI402 has a 7-bit slave address of 1010000'b. The
LSB is set to 0'b (for a WRITE), thus the 8-bit value is 1010
0000'b or A0'h. The device address byte can be set with the
use of the AD[3:0] inputs. Below are some examples.
AD[3:0] = 0001'b, the device address byte is A2'h
AD[3:0] = 0010'b, the device address byte is A4'h
AD[3:0] = 0100'b, the device address byte is A8'h
AD[3:0] = 1000'b, the device address byte is B0'h
The SDA, SCL pins are 3.3V tolerant, but are not 5V tolerant.
External pull-up resistor is required on the SDA. The resistor
value can be from 1 kΩ to 5 kΩ depending on the voltage,
loading and speed. The SCL may also require an external
pull-up resistor and it depends on the Host that drives the bus.
TRANSFER OF DATA VIA THE SMBus
During normal operation the data on SDA must be stable dur-
ing the time when SCL is High.
There are three unique states for the SMBus:
START: A High-to-Low transition on SDA while SCL is High
indicates a message START condition.
STOP: A Low-to-High transition on SDA while SCL is High
indicates a message STOP condition.
IDLE: If SCL and SDA are both High for a time exceeding
tBUF from the last detected STOP condition or if they are High
for a total exceeding the maximum specification for tHIGH then
the bus will transfer to the IDLE state.
SMBus TRANSACTIONS
The device supports WRITE and READ transactions. See
Register Description table for register address, type (Read/
Write, Read Only), default value and function information.
When SMBus is enabled, the DS50PCI402 must use one of
the following De-emphasis settings (Table 8). The driver
de-emphasis value is set on a per channel basis using 8 dif-
ferent registers. Each register (0x11, 0x18, 0x1F, 0x26, 0x2E,
0x35, 0x3C, 0x43) requires one of the following De-emphasis
settings when in SMBus mode. See Table 4 for suggested DE
settings at 2.5 and 5.0 Gbps operation.
TABLE 8. De-Emphasis Register Settings (must write one of the following when in SMBus mode)
De-Emphasis Value Register Setting
0.0 dB 0x01
-3.5 dB 0xE8
-6 dB 0x88
-9 dB 0x90
-12 dB 0xA0
WRITING A REGISTER
To write a register, the following protocol is used (see SMBus
2.0 specification).
1. The Host drives a START condition, the 7-bit SMBus
address, and a “0” indicating a WRITE.
2. The Device (Slave) drives the ACK bit (“0”).
3. The Host drives the 8-bit Register Address.
4. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
5. The Host drive the 8-bit data byte.
6. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
7. The Host drives a STOP condition.
The WRITE transaction is completed, the bus goes IDLE and
communication with other SMBus devices may now occur.
READING A REGISTER
To read a register, the following protocol is used (see SMBus
2.0 specification).
1. The Host drives a START condition, the 7-bit SMBus
address, and a “0” indicating a WRITE.
2. The Device (Slave) drives the ACK bit (“0”).
3. The Host drives the 8-bit Register Address.
4. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
5. The Host drives a START condition.
6. The Host drives the 7-bit SMBus Address, and a “1”
indicating a READ.
7. The Device drives an ACK bit “0”.
8. The Device drives the 8-bit data value (register contents).
9. The Host drives a NACK bit “1”indicating end of the
READ transfer.
10. The Host drives a STOP condition.
The READ transaction is completed, the bus goes IDLE and
communication with other SMBus devices may now occur.
Please see SMBus Register Map Table for more information.
SMBus REGISTER WRITES:
The DS50PCI402 outputs will NOT be PCIe compliant with
the SMBus registers enabled (ENSMB = 1) until the VOD lev-
els have been set. Below is an example to configure the VOD
level to a PCIe compliant amplitude and adjust the DE and
EQ signal conditioning to work with a 7m PCIe cable inter-
connect on the input B-side / output A-side of the device
1. Reset the SMBus registers to default values:
Write 01'h to address 0x00.
2. Set VOD = 1.0V for all channels (OA[3:0] and OB[3:0]):
Write 0F'h to address 0x10, 0x17, 0x1E, 0x25, 0x2D,
0x34, 0x3B, 0x42.
3. Set equalization to external pin level EQ[1:0] = 10 (~15.5
dB at 2.5 GHz) for all channels (IB[3:0]):
Write 39'h to address 0x0F, 0x16, 0x1D, 0x24.
4. Set de-emphasis to DE[1:0] = F1 or -12 dB enhanced for
all A channels (OA[3:0]):
Write A0'h to address 0x2E, 0x35, 0x3C, 0x43.

DS50PCI402
IDLE AND RATE DETECTION TO EXTERNAL PINS
The functions of IDLE and RATE detection to external pins for
monitoring can be supported in SMBus mode. The external
GPIO pins of 19, 20, 46 and 47 will be changed and they will
serve as outputs for IDLE and RATE detect signals.
The following external pins should be set to auto detection:
RATE = F (FLOAT) – auto RATE detect enabled
TXIDLEA/B = F (FLOAT) – auto IDLE detect enabled
There are 4 GPIO pins that can be configured as outputs with
reg_4E[0].
To disable the external SMBus address pins, so pin 46 and
47 can be used as outputs:
Write 01'h to address 0x4E.
Care must be taken to ensure that only the desired status
block is enabled and attached to the external pin as the status
blocks can be OR’ed together internally. Register bits reg_47
[5:4] and bits reg_4C[7:6] are used to enable each of the sta-
tus block outputs to the external pins. The channel status
blocks can be internally OR’ed together to monitor more than
one channel at a time. This allows more information to be
presented on the status outputs and later if desired, a diag-
nosis of the channel identity can be made with additional
SMBus writes to register bits reg_47[5:4] and bits reg_4C
[7:6].
Below are examples to configure the device and bring the in-
ternal IDLE and RATE status to pins 19, 20, 46, 47.
To monitor the IDLE detect with two channels ORed (CH0
with CH2, CH1 with CH3, CH4 with CH6, CH5 with CH7):
Write 32'h to address 0x47.
The following IDLE status should be observable on the ex-
ternal pins:
pin 19 – CH0 with CH2,
pin 20 – CH1 with CH3,
pin 46 – CH4 with CH6,
pin 47 – CH5 with CH7.
Pin = HIGH (VDD) means IDLE is detected (no signal
present).
Pin = LOW (GND) means ACTIVE (data signal present).
To monitor the RATE detect with two channels ORed (CH0
with CH2, CH1 with CH3, CH4 with CH6, CH5 with CH7):
Write C0'h to address 0x4C.
The following RATE status should be observable on the ex-
ternal pins:
pin 19 – CH0 with CH2,
pin 20 – CH1 with CH3,
pin 46 – CH4 with CH6,
pin 47 – CH5 with CH7.
Pin = HIGH (VDD) means high data rate is detected (6 Gbps).
Pin = LOW (GND) means low rate is detected (3 Gbps).

Applications Information
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The DS50PCI402 is a high performance circuit capable of
delivering excellent performance. Careful attention must be
paid to the details associated with high-speed design as well
as providing a clean power supply. Refer to the information
below and the latest version of the LVDS Owner's Manual for
more detailed information on high speed design tips to ad-
dress signal integrity design issues.
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS FOR DIFFERENTIAL
PAIRS
The CML inputs and LPDS outputs have been optimized to
work with interconnects using a controlled differential
impedance of 85 - 100. It is preferable to route differential
lines exclusively on one layer of the board, particularly for the
input traces. The use of vias should be avoided if possible. If
vias must be used, they should be used sparingly and must
be placed symmetrically for each side of a given differential
pair. Whenever differential vias are used the layout must also
provide for a low inductance path for the return currents as
well. Route the differential signals away from other signals
and noise sources on the printed circuit board. See AN-1187
for additional information on LLP packages.
30107310
FIGURE 8. Typical Routing Options
The graphic shown above depicts different transmission line
topologies which can be used in various combinations to
achieve the optimal system performance. Impedance discon-
tinuities at the differential via can be minimized or eliminated
by increasing the swell around each hole and providing for a
low inductance return current path. When the via structure is
associated with thick backplane PCB, further optimization
such as back drilling is often used to reduce the deterimential
high frequency effects of stubs on the signal path.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
Two approaches are recommended to ensure that the
DS50PCI402 is provided with an adequate power supply.
First, the supply (VDD) and ground (GND) pins should be
connected to power planes routed on adjacent layers of the
printed circuit board. The layer thickness of the dielectric
should be minimized so that the VDD and GND planes create
a low inductance supply with distributed capacitance. Sec-
ond, careful attention to supply bypassing through the proper
use of bypass capacitors is required. A 0.01 μF bypass ca-
pacitor should be connected to each VDD pin such that the
capacitor is placed as close as possible to the DS50PCI402.
Smaller body size capacitors can help facilitate proper com-
ponent placement. Additionally, three capacitors with capac-
itance in the range of 2.2 μF to 10 μF should be incorporated
in the power supply bypassing design as well. These capac-
itors can be either tantalum or an ultra-low ESR ceramic.

Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements,
and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are
sold subject to TIs terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TIs standard
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied

restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and

and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic."Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
