Description

The PCI122 is one of VadaTech’s 4th generation PCIe expansion module based on the PCI-SIG specification. The Module has a Retimer/Conditioner to improve signal integrity for enhancing system performance and reliability across long cables. It removes both random and deterministic jitter from the input signals eliminating inter-symbol interference and resets the output jitter budget. It supports the full 16 lanes.

The Retimer/Conditioner configuration is programmable for different length of cable via the RS-232 port.

The PCI122 allows expansion to an external module via quad SFF-8644 x4 connectors as a combined x16, or dual x8 or quad x4. The x16 bifurcation allows connecting from the root complex to multiple end points.

The SFF-8644 supports both active optical and passive copper cables. With the optical cables the root complex and the end point could be 100 meters away.
