7.2.1 x4 Lane Configuration

The DS160PR410-Q1 can be used in automotive applications to boost transmit and receive signals to increase the reach of the host or root complex processor to PCI Express end points (EPs). Figure 7-2 shows an automotive electronic control unit (ECU) where PCIe link are used to interconnect multiple compute units within the ECU using board to board connectors where the DS160PR410-Q1 is providing signal conditioning function. The redriver can also enable PCIe links outside of the ECU using short cables. In this example, x4 links are shown for illustration, but other bus widths are also possible.

The following sections outline detailed procedures and design requirements for a typical PCIe x4 lane configuration. However, the design recommendations can be used in any lane configuration.
