Hello,
I'm looking to use this x8 Gen4 PCIe Retimer on an upcoming design, and I haven't been able to confirm the part actually exists. In one area of TI's website, it indicates the part is 'active', but in another area, it indicates 'preview', see below:
Active: https://www.ti.com/product/DS160PT801/part-details/PDS160PT801C0ACBT
Preview: https://www.ti.com/product/DS160PT801
Questions for TI:
1. Does the part actually exist and is orderable? If so, what is the correct orderable PN - PDS160PT801C0ACBT or DS160PT801C0ACBT
2. Can TI provide a full datasheet for this component? The online datasheet is more of a summary.
3. Can TI provide simulation models for this component (IBIS-AMI or equivalent)?
4. Can TI confirm that this part conforms to the published Intel PCIe Gen4 Retimer common spec located here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/io/pci-express/pci-express-gen4-retimer-features-tech-brief.html
Thanks,
Ed
