SAS-3 protocol repeater solution based on DS125BR800A

TI's S125BR800A is an 8-channel signal conditioner that drives the SAS-3 protocol, supports new SCSI standards with fast data rates up to 12.5Gbps, and is compatible with current 3Gbps and 6Gbps SAS link rates. The device is primarily used in repeaters for enterprise servers, storage devices, and routing systems.

At the same time, the DS125BR800A supports PCIe Gen-1, Gen-2, Gen-3 and SATA 1.5-Gbps, 3-Gbps and 6-Gbps interface standards, with high signal conditioning performance, low power consumption and system cost. A variety of configuration options are convenient to use.

The DS125BR800A is an ultra-low power, high performance, multi-protocol transponder/re-driver that supports eight channels of PCIe, SAS and other high speed interface serial protocols (up to 12.5Gbps). The receiver's Duration Linear Equalizer (CTLE) provides up to +30 dB boost (6.25 GHz, 12.5 Gbps) in 8 channels and is capable of opening an input eye (inter-symbol interference and blocking (ISI) The input eye is caused by interconnecting media, such as 30-inch + backplane traceback, or 8 m + copper cable, so that the main controller can ensure an error-free end-to-end connection. When the DS125BR800A causes most channel loss on the input side of the device, its strong linear equalization maximizes the expansion of the interconnect channel. Adjustable transmission de-emphasis and output voltage amplitude help compensate for residual channel attenuation on the output side.

When the DS125BR800A is in SAS-3 and PCIe-3 band mode, the DS125BR800A allows the host controller and endpoint to optimize the full link and successfully manage the transmit equalizer coefficients. Seamless management of this link training protocol ensures system level interoperability (with less latency). With low power consumption (65mW/Channel, typical) and the ability to turn off unused channels, the DS125BR800A generates an energy efficient system. The DS125BR800A operates from a single 3.3 V or 2.5V supply.

Its programmable settings can be easily implemented via pins, software (SMBus or I2C), or via external EEPROM loading. When operating in EEPROM mode, configuration information is automatically loaded on power-up, which eliminates the need for an external microprocessor or software driver.
