Low-Power SATA Redriver/Equalizer handles 6 Gbps data rates.
Press Release Summary:
Dual-channel, single-lane SN75LVCP601 reconditions and drives high-speed signals that propagate over longer distances, enabling optimal performance for SATA drives of any speed (1.5/3.0/6.0 Gbps) without changing equalization or de-emphasis channel settings. Supplied in 20-pin QFN package, product offers selectable equalization, de-emphasis, and integrated output squelch. Max active power consumption is 290 mW, and automatic low-power (ALP) mode consumes 10 mA max.
Original Press Release:
TI Introduces Industry's Lowest Power 6-Gbps SATA Redriver/Equalizer
Dual-channel, single-lane SATA redriver and signal conditioner supports longer etch runs, easier board designs and use of longer external cables
DALLAS -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today introduced a dual-channel, single-lane serial-ATA (SATA) redriver and signal conditioner, featuring the lowest active power and lowest automatic low-power (ALP) mode of any 6-Gbps redriver/equalizers available today. The SN75LVCP601 has a maximum active power consumption of 290 mW, or approximately 50 percent less than the nearest competitor, extending critical battery life in portable electronics, such as notebook PCs.

Key features and benefits of the SN75LVCP601
-- Reconditions and drives high-speed signals that propagate over longer distances, enabling optimal performance for SATA drives of any speed (1.5G/3.0G/6.0G) without changing equalization or de-emphasis channel settings.
-- Selectable equalization, de-emphasis, and integrated output squelch, providing optimized performance settings for system implementation at the lowest power.
-- ALP mode consumes only 10 mA (maximum), extending critical battery life on portable devices when no external devices are connected to the eSATA port.
-- Joins TI's growing portfolio of redriver/equalizer devices, supporting a wide range of technologies including SATA, SuperSpeed USB, PCI Express and DisplayPort.
Availability and pricing
The SN75LVCP601 is available now in a 20-pin QFN package with suggested resale pricing of $2.00 each in quantities of 1,000.
