SN75LVCP601

The SN75LVCP601 from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, dual-channel, single-lane SATA redriver and signal conditioner. It supports data rates up to 6 Gbps, complying with SATA physical link 2m and 3i specifications. This device is suitable for SAS and SATA applications, offering excellent jitter and loss compensation capabilities over FR4 traces up to 24 inches.

The SN75LVCP601 operates from a single 3.3-V supply and includes integrated 100-Ω line termination with a self-biasing feature, making it ideal for AC coupling. The input stage of each channel provides selectable, programmable equalization settings to compensate for channel losses. The device also features an out-of-band (OOB) detector that automatically squelches the output while maintaining a stable common-mode voltage compliant with the SATA link. It handles spread-spectrum clocking (SSC) transmission per the SATA specification.

Key features include programmable RX and TX equalization and de-emphasis width control. The SN75LVCP601 incorporates a power-save feature that lowers power consumption by over 80% in Auto Low-Power Mode, with typical power consumption below 220 mW, less than 50 mW in Auto Low-Power Mode, and less than 5 mW in standby mode. It is housed in a compact 20-pin, 4-mm x 4-mm QFN package and offers high protection against ESD transients.

This redriver is pin-compatible with the LVCP412A and MAX4951, providing a flexible solution for signal integrity enhancement in storage and communication systems.
