Texas Instruments DS160PR412-421EVM Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments DS160PR412-421EVM Evaluation Module offers a high-bandwidth platform for evaluating the signal conditioning features of the DS160PR412 and DS160PR421 Quad-Channel PCI Express 4.0 Linear Redrivers. The TI DS160PR412-421EVM Eval Module can be directly plugged into a PCIe slot on a server or PC motherboard using the PCIe Edge connector on the board and paired with a PCIe add-in card using one of the two PCIe connectors on the Evaluation Module.

The two DS160PR412 and two DS160PR421 devices can extend the transmission distance of a PCI-Express® 4.0 16x bus. The DS160PR412-421EVM board can be used for standard compliance testing, performance evaluation, and initial system prototyping.
