Phison launched the first PCI-SIG Certified PCIe 5.0 Redriver IC PS7101

by ddos ·

Phison announced that it has launched the world’s first PCI-SIG Certified PCIe 5.0 Redriver IC PS7101 to help solve the compatibility problem of high-speed signal transmission between CPU and interface devices. Phison Electronics said that with the advent of the PCIe 5.0 era, Redriver ICs are required from PCs, and servers to various cables. Depending on the degree of signal attenuation and the number of compensation channels, each system device will require 2 to 16 Redriver ICs, which has a considerable market size.

Phison is one of the few IC companies in Taiwan that has independently developed PCIe 5.0 PHY physical layer IP, and has been deeply engaged in the research and development of high-speed transmission interface technology for a long time. The PCIe 5.0 Redriver IC PS710 launched this time adopts the Flip-Chip packaging and testing technology, which reduces the signal reflection and crosstalk interference caused by the IC packaging, and also improves the IC heat dissipation capability. It will effectively solve the problem of high-speed transmission signal attenuation of motherboards or riser cards of PC and Server platforms. The new product provides independent compensation for multiple frequency bands, allowing system R&D engineers to adjust parameters separately and independently for different cable or PCB materials to achieve the best compensation for signal attenuation.
In addition, Phison provides the exclusive patented Auto Tuning Tool, which can be used with SSD products designed by Phison. This automatically brings in different Redriver gain parameters in the customer’s development environment and finds the corresponding optimal parameters, accelerating system integrators’ products to market quickly. 

Phison Electronics said that the PCIe 5.0 Redriver IC PS7101 is a high gain, high linearity, and cost-effective IC product. At present, samples have been sent to manufacturers, and the system design has been imported from a number of motherboards, servers, industrial computers, and cable developers. The relevant mass-produced terminal products are expected to be launched in the third quarter of 2022.
