Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMK00334
In my application I need to extend the PCIe bus up to 1M. I would like to use something other than coax if I can. 8 links => 32 cables. VHDCI would seem a decent choice based on the density, intended signalling and so forth. Is this a good choice for a limited range cable between the transmitter and receiver using the 810 on the transmitter side in both directions [install one at the host and one at the target].
Also, any suggestions for CLK and PERST?
I would think PERST could just be buffered since an almost static signal, perhaps with a hysteresis receiver on the target side.
For the clock can we use a buffer and receiver with spread spectrum capability or is there something else TI recommends for this application? Would have been really nice to have that built into this device.
