Product Overview
The SN65LVCP1414RLJR is a 14.2-Gbps quad-channel, dual-mode linear equalizer (redriver) from Texas Instruments, packaged in a 38-pin WQFN (RLJ) 5 × 7 mm package. It is an asynchronous, protocol-agnostic, low-latency device optimized for compensating signal losses in backplane and active cable interconnects. The device supports both backplane and cable equalization modes with up to 17 dB of analog equalization at 7.1 GHz and is configurable via I2C or GPIO interface. Note: This part has been obsoleted; the substitute is SN65LVCP1414RLJT.
