Is the SN75LVCP601 the best choice for the eSATA redrivers or is there a better recommendation from TI?

Hi,

I have a customer who is looking for is a SATA re-driver that can drive an eSATA port.  The customer's current design has 4 SATA connections coming from a uProcessor to 3 eSATA connectors as well as a one CFast connector.  They have built a board up and this arrangement doesn’t quite make it for SATA3 speeds which are 6Gbps and the customer believes a re-driver is needed. Is the SN75LVCP601 the best choice or is there a better recommendation we should be considering? 

Thanks,

PSB

    Hi,

    The best device depends on your application.
    Our group has three devices:
    SN75LVCP601 is a two channel 6Gbps SATA redriver, commercial range temperature.
    SN75LVCP600 is a single channel 6Gbps SATA redriver, commercial range temperature.
    SN75LVCP600s is a single channel 6Gbps SATA redriver, industrial range temperature.

    Besides, High speed interface has SATA redrivers too.

    Depending on what is the most important criteria (pcb space, cost, etc) you may consider the DS100BRxxx.  Since you are designing for 3 channels, the 4-channel DS100BR410 might be preferred, otherwise, 2 of the SN75LVCP601s or DS100BR111s would be needed.  Here's a comparison:
