DS50PCI401
2.5 Gbps / 5.0 Gbps 4 Lane PCI Express Transceiver with
Equalization and De-Emphasis
General Description
Features
The DS50PCI401 is a low power, 4 lane bidirectional buffer/
equalizer designed specifically for PCI Express Gen1 and
Gen2 applications. The device performs both receive equalization and transmit de-emphasis, allowing maximum flexibility of physical placement within a system. The receiver is
capable of opening an input eye that is completely closed due
to inter-symbol interference (ISI) induced by the interconnect
medium.
The transmitter de-emphasis level can be set by the user depending on the distance from the DS50PCI401 to the PCI
Express endpoint. The DS50PCI401 contains PCI Express
specific functions such as Transmit Idle, RX Detection, and
Beacon signal pass through.
The device will change the load impedance on its input pins
based on the state of RXDETA/B inputs detection. An internal
rate detection circuit is included to detect if an incoming data
stream is at Gen2 data rates, and adjusts the de-emphasis
on it's output accordingly. The signal conditioning provided by
the device allows systems to upgrade from Gen1 data rates
to Gen2 without reducing their physical reach. This is true for
FR4 applications such as backplanes, as well as cable interconnect.

Notes:
FLOAT = 3rd input state, don't drive pin. Pin is internally biased to mid level with 50 kΩ pull-up/pull-down. If high Z
output not available, drive input to VDD/2 to assert mid level state.
Internal pulldown = Internal 30 kΩ pull-down resistor to GND is present on the input.
LVCMOS inputs without the “Float” conditions must be driven to a logic Low or High at all times or operation is not
guaranteed.
Input edge rate for LVCMOS/FLOAT inputs must be faster than 50 ns from 10–90%.
When in pin mode (ENSMB = 0) , the transceiver is configurable with external pins. Equalization and de-emphasis can
be selected via pin for each side independently. When deemphasis is asserted VOD is automatically increased per the
De-Emphasis table below for improved performance over
lossy media. The receiver detect pins RXDETA/B provide
manual control for input termination (50Ω or >50KΩ). Rate
optimization is also pin controllable, with pin selections for
2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and auto detect. The receiver electrical idle
detect threshold is also programmable via an optional external resistor on the SD_TH pin.
Functional Description
The DS50PCI401 is a low power media compensation 4 lane
transceiver optimized for PCI Express Gen 1 and Gen 2 media including lossy FR-4 printed circuit board backplanes and
balanced cables. The DS50PCI401 operates in two modes:
Pin Control Mode (ENSMB = 0) and SMBus Mode (ENSMB
= 1).
Pin Control Mode:

www.national.com
DS50PCI401
Pin Name
DS50PCI401
SMBUS Mode:
When in SMBus mode the equalization, de-emphasis, and
termination disable features are all programmable on a individual lane basis, instead of grouped by sides as in the pin
mode case. Upon assertion of ENSMB the RATE, EQx and
DEMx functions revert to register control immediately. The
EQx and DEMx pins are converted to AD0-AD3 SMBus ad-
dress inputs. The other external control pins remain active
unless their respective registers are written to and the appropriate override bit is set, in which case they are ignored until
ENSMB is driven low. On powerup and when ENSMB is driven low all registers are reset to their default state. If PRSNT
is asserted while ENSMB is high, the registers retain their
current state.

is done with the CPRSNT# auxiliary signal. The CPRSNT#
signal is asserted Low by the downstream componentry after
the "Power Good" condition has been established. This
mechanism allows for the upstream subsystem to determine
whether the power is good within the downstream subsystem,
enable the reference clock, and initiate the Link Training Sequence.
USING RXDETA/B IN A PCIe ENVIRONMENT
In order for upstream and downstream PCIe subsystems to
communicate in a cabling environment, the PCIe specification
includes several auxiliary or sideband signals to manage system-level functionality or implementation. Similar methods
are used in backplane applications, but the exact implementation falls outside the PCIe standard. Initial communication
from the downstream subsystem to the upstream subsystem
30060412
FIGURE 2. Typical PCIe System Timing
The signals shown in the graphic could be easily replicated
within the downstream subsystem and used to control the
RXDETA/B inputs on the DS50PCI401. Often an onboard microcontroller will be used to handle events like power-up,
power-down, power saving modes, and hot insertion. The microcontroller would use the same information to determine
www.national.com
when to enable and disable the DS50PCI401 input termination. In applications that require SMBus control, the microcontroller could also delay any response to the upstream
subsystem to allow sufficient time to correctly program the
DS50PCI401 and other devices on the board.

Note 1: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur, including inoperability and degradation of device reliability
and/or performance. Functional operation of the device and/or non-degradation at the Absolute Maximum Ratings or other conditions beyond those indicated in
the Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. The Recommended Operating Conditions indicate conditions at which the device is functional and the
device should not be operated beyond such conditions. Absolute Maximum Numbers are guaranteed for a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. Models
are validated to Maximum Operating Voltages only.
Note 2: Typical values represent most likely parametric norms at VDD = 2.5V, TA = 25°C., and at the Recommended Operation Conditions at the time of product
characterization and are not guaranteed.
Note 3: The Electrical Characteristics tables list guaranteed specifications under the listed Recommended Operating Conditions except as otherwise modified
or specified by the Electrical Characteristics Conditions and/or Notes. Typical specifications are estimations only and are not guaranteed.
Note 4: Allowed supply noise (mVP-P sine wave) under typical conditions.
Note 5: Input Return Loss also uses the setup shown in Figure 6. The blocking / biasing circuit is replaced with a simple AC coupling capacitor for each input to
emulate a typical PCIe application.

The Device (Slave) drives the ACK bit (“0”).
The Host drives the 8-bit Register Address.
The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
The Host drives a START condition.
The Host drives the 7-bit SMBus Address, and a “1”
indicating a READ.
7. The Device drives an ACK bit “0”.
8. The Device drives the 8-bit data value (register contents).
9. The Host drives a NACK bit “1”indicating end of the
READ transfer.
10. The Host drives a STOP condition.
The READ transaction is completed, the bus goes IDLE and
communication with other SMBus devices may now occur.
Please see SMBus Register Map Table for more information.
The System Management Bus interface is compatible to SMBus 2.0 physical layer specification. ENSMB must be pulled
high to enable SMBus mode and allow access to the configuration registers.
The DS50PCI401 has the AD[3:0] inputs in SMBus mode.
These pins are the user set SMBus slave address inputs. The
AD[3:0] pins have internal pull-down. When left floating or
pulled low the AD[3:0] = 0000'b, the device default address
byte is A0'h. Based on the SMBus 2.0 specification, the
DS50PCI401 has a 7-bit slave address of 1010000'b. The
LSB is set to 0'b (for a WRITE), thus the 8-bit value is 1010
0000'b or A0'h. The device address byte can be set with the
use of the AD[3:0] inputs. Below are some examples.
AD[3:0] = 0001'b, the device address byte is A2'h
AD[3:0] = 0010'b, the device address byte is A4'h
AD[3:0] = 0100'b, the device address byte is A8'h
AD[3:0] = 1000'b, the device address byte is B0'h
The SDC and SDA pins are 3.3V LVCMOS signaling and include high-Z internal pull up resistors. External low
impedance pull up resistors maybe required depending upon
SMBus loading and speed. Note, these pins are not 5V tolerant.
SMBus REGISTER WRITES:
The DS50PCI401 outputs will NOT be PCIe compliant with
the SMBus registers enabled (ENSMB = 1) until the VOD levels have been set. Below is an example to configure the VOD
level to a PCIe compliant amplitude and adjust the DE and
EQ signal conditioning to work with a 7m PCIe cable interconnect on the input B-side / output A-side of the device
1. Reset the SMBus registers to default values:
Write 01'h to address 0x00.
2. Set VOD = 1.0V for all channels (OA[3:0] and OB[3:0]):
Write 0F'h to address 0x10, 0x17, 0x1E, 0x25, 0x2D,
0x34, 0x3B, 0x42.
3. Set equalization to external pin level EQ[1:0] = 10 (~15.5
dB at 2.5 GHz) for all channels (IB[3:0]):
Write 39'h to address 0x0F, 0x16, 0x1D, 0x24.
4. Set de-emphasis to DE[1:0] = F1 or -12 dB enhanced for
all A channels (OA[3:0]):
Write A0'h to address 0x2E, 0x35, 0x3C, 0x43.
TRANSFER OF DATA VIA THE SMBus
During normal operation the data on SDA must be stable during the time when SDC is High.
There are three unique states for the SMBus:
START: A High-to-Low transition on SDA while SDC is High
indicates a message START condition.
STOP: A Low-to-High transition on SDA while SDC is High
indicates a message STOP condition.
IDLE: If SDC and SDA are both High for a time exceeding
tBUF from the last detected STOP condition or if they are High
for a total exceeding the maximum specification for tHIGH then
the bus will transfer to the IDLE state.
IDLE AND RATE DETECTION TO EXTERNAL PINS
The functions of IDLE and RATE detection to external pins for
monitoring can be supported in SMBus mode. The external
GPIO pins of 19, 20, 46 and 47 will be changed and they will
serve as outputs for IDLE and RATE detect signals.
The following external pins should be set to auto detection:
RATE = F (FLOAT) – auto RATE detect enabled
TXIDLEA/B = F (FLOAT) – auto IDLE detect enabled
There are 4 GPIO pins that can be configured as outputs with
reg_4E[0].
To disable the external SMBus address pins, so pin 46 and
47 can be used as outputs:
SMBus TRANSACTIONS
The device supports WRITE and READ transactions. See
Register Description table for register address, type (Read/
Write, Read Only), default value and function information.
WRITING A REGISTER
To write a register, the following protocol is used (see SMBus
2.0 specification).
1. The Host drives a START condition, the 7-bit SMBus
address, and a “0” indicating a WRITE.
2. The Device (Slave) drives the ACK bit (“0”).
3. The Host drives the 8-bit Register Address.
4. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
5. The Host drive the 8-bit data byte.
6. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
7. The Host drives a STOP condition.
The WRITE transaction is completed, the bus goes IDLE and
communication with other SMBus devices may now occur.
Write 01'h to address 0x4E.
Care must be taken to ensure that only the desired status
block is enabled and attached to the external pin as the status
blocks can be OR’ed together internally. Register bits reg_47
[5:4] and bits reg_4C[7:6] are used to enable each of the status block outputs to the external pins. The channel status
blocks can be internally OR’ed together to monitor more than
one channel at a time. This allows more information to be
presented on the status outputs and later if desired, a diagnosis of the channel identity can be made with additional
SMBus writes to register bits reg_47[5:4] and bits reg_4C
[7:6].
Below are examples to configure the device and bring the internal IDLE and RATE status to pins 19, 20, 46, 47.
READING A REGISTER
To read a register, the following protocol is used (see SMBus
2.0 specification).
1. The Host drives a START condition, the 7-bit SMBus
address, and a “0” indicating a WRITE.

impedance of 100Ω. It is preferable to route differential lines
exclusively on one layer of the board, particularly for the input
traces. The use of vias should be avoided if possible. If vias
must be used, they should be used sparingly and must be
placed symmetrically for each side of a given differential pair.
Whenever differential vias are used the layout must also provide for a low inductance path for the return currents as well.
Route the differential signals away from other signals and
noise sources on the printed circuit board. See AN-1187 for
additional information on LLP packages.
Applications Information
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The DS50PCI401 is a high performance circuit capable of
delivering excellent performance. Careful attention must be
paid to the details associated with high-speed design as well
as providing a clean power supply. Refer to the information
below and the latest version of the LVDS Owner's Manual for
more detailed information on high speed design tips to address signal integrity design issues.
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS FOR DIFFERENTIAL
PAIRS
The CML inputs and LPDS outputs have been optimized to
work with interconnects using a controlled differential
30060410
FIGURE 8. Typical Routing Options
The graphic shown above depicts different transmission line
topologies which can be used in various combinations to
achieve the optimal system performance. Impedance discontinuities at the differential via can be minimized or eliminated
by increasing the swell around each hole and providing for a
low inductance return current path. When the via structure is
associated with thick backplane PCB, further optimization
such as back drilling is often used to reduce the deterimential
high frequency effects of stubs on the signal path.
connected to power planes routed on adjacent layers of the
printed circuit board. The layer thickness of the dielectric
should be minimized so that the VDD and GND planes create
a low inductance supply with distributed capacitance. Second, careful attention to supply bypassing through the proper
use of bypass capacitors is required. A 0.01 μF bypass capacitor should be connected to each VDD pin such that the
capacitor is placed as close as possible to the DS50PCI401.
Smaller body size capacitors can help facilitate proper component placement. Additionally, three capacitors with capacitance in the range of 2.2 μF to 10 μF should be incorporated
in the power supply bypassing design as well. These capacitors can be either tantalum or an ultra-low ESR ceramic.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
Two approaches are recommended to ensure that the
DS50PCI401 is provided with an adequate power supply.
First, the supply (VDD) and ground (GND) pins should be
