SN75LVPE801: SN75LVPE801 PCIe 3.0 Application Question

Part Number: SN75LVPE801
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS80PCI402

Hi Sir,

I plan use LVPE801 application PCIe 3.0. Some issue need you help!

This is a PCIe gen3 x4 project
Below is our system trace length and we follow datasheet’s capacitor and resister value to verify, but the test result : PCIe gen3 x4 riser card can’t be detect.
Do you have idea how to fine tune the value?

We current verification as below
1. Bypass LVPE801 à function is ok.
2. Config DE/QE pull high à issue still have.
3. Add 1uF/10nF cap close VCC of LVPE801 à issue still have.
4. Check supply current 40mA of unit LVPE801 -> 16 pcs LVPE801, we provide 2A for use.

  • Hi,

    You can try lower values for the 330 Ohm resistors.  There are no adjustments on the device which can help the PCIe receiver detect function.  PCIe repeater devices like the DS80PCI402 could be used to integrate the repeater function into a single component.
