Texas Instruments DS160PR810EVM-RSC Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments DS160PR810EVM-RSC Evaluation Module is a complete high-bandwidth platform for evaluating the signal conditioning features of the DS160PR810 Octal-Channel PCI-Express 4.0 Linear Redriver. The TI DS160PR810EVM-RSC Evaluation Module features four DS160PR810 linear redrivers that can extend a PCIe Gen-4 x16 bus's transmission distance.

The DS160PR810EVM-RSC Evaluation Module can be plugged into a PCIe slot on a server or PC motherboard using one end of the board and paired up with a PCIe add-in card using the straddle mount connector attached to the other end of the board. The DS160PR810EVM-RSC Evaluation Board can be used for standard compliance testing, performance evaluation, and initial system prototyping.
