The 89HP0504P Repeater Evaluation Board is designed to enable quick in-system testing of IDT ’s 4-channel, 5Gbps, PCIe 2.1 Repeater IC product. This board features a full 16-lane connection from a host through the repeaters to an end-point device installed in the PCIe slot. Any width adapter card, from a 1-lane SATA card to a 16-lane graphics accelerator, can be plugged into the top-edge PCIe slot. The Repeater ICs can be configured by on-board switches, or serial USB or I2C interfaces. The serial connections provide full access to all configuration and status registers. A USB -to- I2C bridge circuit allows simple connection to a PC for accessing the Repeaters via IDT ’s repeater configuration utility ( GUI ). The receiver, transmitter, and other device configuration parameters can be adjusted to provide optimum operating margins via the GUI . The 89HP0504P Repeater Evaluation Board is used by inserting it into a desktop PC or server, and then plugging an end point card ( SATA , Ethernet, USB3 , etc.) into the 16-lane slot on top. Passive trace cards can be used to extend the data signal to emulate a planned system design. Note that the resulting card stack will require an open chassis test environment.
