The
PS8566 is a PCIe redriver chip that integrates 16 independent redriver channels. Rates up to 8Gb/s are supported, making it compatible with the widely used PCIe 3.0 standard.

It removes signal distortion that results when sending high speed data over an electrical interface. By incorporating the PS8566 into the PCIe signal path, either on the system PCB or within the interconnect cable, the PCB path or interconnect cable can be made longer, enabling system flexibility and scalability. To maximize data transfer integrity and reliability, each PCIe channel in the PS8566 has configurable equalization and de-emphasis. The support of a 16-channel bus width makes it ideal for workstations and data center applications including storage and servers.

A key feature o the PS8566 for enterprise installations is the low power consumption and low heat generation. Leveraging years of experience developing redrivers for low-power, battery-operated applications, the company designed the PS8566 to consume less than 40mW per channel, the lowest in its class. To further reduce power and heat, the PS8566 implements a configurable automatic power saving feature; when enabled, a channel not receiving data is put into low power mode.

We are the top supplier of high-speed redriver chips in the PC, notebook and tablet markets,” said Jimmy Chiu, executive VP, marketing, Parade. “Our traditional customers are growing their business by developing enterprise products such as data center and storage servers, and they need our same signal integrity expertise in this area. The PS8566 represents one of our first devices tailored specifically for this market.

The PS8566 is guaranteed to operate over -40 to +85°C industrial temperature range, and is available in a 13x6mm QFN Halogen free RoHS package.

The PS8566 is sampling.
