DS160PR421: About ReDriver PCIe polarity inversion

Part Number: DS160PR421

HI,

Please check sch picture as below:

From PCIe(RC) and to Device(EP)  may accept lane reversal and polarity inversion.

I'd like to know the ReDriver can do polarity inversion for PCIe signals?

  • Greetings,

    Per PCIe specification, polarity inversion is done on the protocol layer. In other words, PCIe NRZ data is polarity insensitive. This means you can connect - for ease of layout - negative of M.2 to positive of the device(after AC coupling). Then protocol layer will adjust accordingly.
