When to use a PCIe retimer vs. redriver
This video is an overview of the PCIe link initialization process.
00:11:13|30 Apr 2025
In this series we are going to compare application of a linear redriver and retimer in a PCIe environment. Both devices provide signal conditioning to an incoming data signal, but they operate in very different ways. In this video we will discuss these differences as well as the advantages and disadvantages to using each device.
