10.3 Gbps redriver with signal conditioning for lossy backplanes
The DS100BR111SQE/NOPB is a 2-channel buffer/redriver with CML inputs and outputs, rated for a maximum data rate of 10.3 Gbps per channel. It targets SATA applications where the trace length or connector loss exceeds the driver's raw reach — the integrated input equalization and output de-emphasis compensate for channel loss, extending the viable link distance without a full retimer.
Quiescent supply current is 50 mA typical, keeping the thermal budget modest in the 24-WFQFN exposed-pad package (4x5 mm body).
Housed in a 24-WFQFN with exposed pad (supplier package 24-WQFN, 4x5 mm). Surface-mount assembly; the pad pattern and stencil aperture for the thermal pad should follow TI's recommended land pattern in the datasheet to avoid solder voids under the die attach.
