The 89HP0508P Repeater Evaluation Bboard is designed to enable quick in-system testing of IDT ’s 8-channel, 5Gbps, PCIe 2.1 Repeater IC product. This board features a full 16-lane connection from the host through the Repeaters to an end-point device installed in the PCIe slot. There is a USB to I2C bridge circuit which allows convenient connection to a PC for accessing the Repeaters via IDT ’s Repeater Configuration Utility ( GUI ). An I2C connection is also provided to give the same control capability when using an external USB to I2C adapter and IDT ’s Repeater GUI . The receiver, transmitter, and other device configuration parameters can be adjusted to provide optimum operating margins by using the GUI . The 89KTP0508P 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.
