DS50PCI401EVK General Description:

The DS50PCI401EVK – PCI Express (PCIe) SMA evaluation kit provides a complete high bandwidthplatform to evaluate the signal integrity and signal conditioning features of the National SemiconductorDS50PCI401 – Quad Lane PCI Express transceiver with Equalization and De-emphasis.SMA edge launch connectors are used as the input and the output connections for this evaluationboard. Commercially available adaptor boards can be purchased to facilitate connection to PCIecables or backplane interconnects.

DS50PCI401EVK Applications:

• PCIe (2.5 Gbps / 5.0 Gbps) • Will also support other AC coupled 8b/10b encoded serial standards under 5.0 Gbps
