GN1407

Overview

The GN1407 is a PCI-SIG compliant quad re-driver designed for 1.25Gbps - 8Gbps communications.

The GN1407 extends the reach and robustness of high-speed serial links by compensating for losses in the transmission medium.  Each high-speed input interface features programmable high gain equalization.  The GN1407 high-speed serial output interface features low output jitter and allows for amplitude adjustment through the use of a serial control interface.  Each channel in the GN1407 can be independently configured or powered down.

Features/Highlights

  • PCIe 1.1 compliant
  • Multi-rate operation from 1.25Gb/s to 8Gb/s
