Parade Expands PCIe Portfolio with PCIe Gen6 Linear Redrivers

Parade Technologies Ltd. announces the availability of 4 new PCIe Gen 6 (64GT/s) linear redrivers for server, storage and high performance AI scale-up data center cabling solutions.

With industry leading linearity, the PCIe Gen6 family of redrivers provide programmable EQ boosts up to 18dB, while operating from a single supply. The PS8594/PS8598/PS8596 devices utilize Parade Speed Migration Path (PSMP) methodology – matching the Intel PCIe 6.0 Standard Ball Map – for easier highspeed routing and evaluation and between PCIe retimers and Parade Linear redrivers. Fully compatible with all previous PCIe specifications, the PS859X series is a choice for motherboard, backplane, AIC and cable applications.

The company’s PCIe6 series of LRDs are designed for today’s high-performance ASIC SerDes. With enhanced linearity to enabling clean link equalization while greatly reducing power and latency, the PS859x series expands the reach of copper to meet critical AI scale up needs. The PS8592 is a channel-based device (8 channels), specifically designed for AI cable optimization, where optimum redriver placement for each side of the bi-direction link can be independently placed for maximum performance.

“Datacenters are showing growing concerns around the I/O power and latency necessary to support the massive AI-LLM ‘scale-up’ vs ‘scale-out’” says Jimmy Chiu, EVP, marketing, Parade Technologies. “At Parade, we have listened and our continual investment in the highest performance linear redrivers has been well received by our customers.”
