DS80PCI102: Using DS80PCI102 in 2-lane system

Part Number: DS80PCI102

Hello,

Is it possible to use 2 similarly-configured DS80PCI102 single-lane repeaters in 2-lane PCIe Gen2 system, one for each lane? Will the PCIe link initialize normally despite being split into two devices?

Thank you.

  • Hi Michael,

    Yes the PCIe link will initialize normally.  Each DS80PCI102 will attempt to detect valid receivers and the configuration will behave as a single link.  The DS80PCI102 does not snoop the protocol so multiple devices on a link does not present any issue.

    Regards,
