Aries Smart Retimer Portfolio Contact info asteralabs.com for more details October 2019 Aries Smart Retimers for PCI-Express 4.0 and 5.0 1 Benefits and Features 3 Description The Aries Smart Retimer is designed to easily eliminate Compatible With PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 Technology signal integrity issues for PCI-Express (PCIe) 4.0 and 5.0 Supports up to 32 Bi-Directional Lanes: 16 upstream interconnects in data-centric applications. Aries is a Lanes and 16 Downstream Lanes protocol-aware low-latency Retimer platform designed Flexible Link Bifurcation Including 1x16, 2x8, 4x4, to integrate seamlessly between a Root Complex and End and More Point(s) to extend PCIe signal reach. Compliant to all PCIe Advanced, Fully Adaptive on-chip Signal Conditioning rates and Retimer functional requirements, the Aries extends PCIe Signal Reach, Enables Low-Cost PCB Smart Retimer platform enables more system topologies Materials and lower total solution cost while minimizing BGA Package Footprint Optimized for Board Routing implementation overhead and Bill of Materials (BoM). Supports SRIS, SRNS, and Common Clock Systems Low-Power Advanced CMOS Process The innovative low-latency architecture of Aries Advanced In-Band and Out-of-Band Diagnostics for significantly reduces latency through the Retimer while Fleet Management being transparent to system software and participating in Device Configuration through SMBus or EEPROM Link Equalization with the Root Complex and End Point(s) IEEE 1149.6 AC-JTAG Boundary Scan to optimize Link performance. To enable a wide variety Portfolio of Pin- and Register-Compatible Retimers of End Points and port configurations, Aries supports a Enables Easy Performance Scaling wide variety of bifurcation configurations: 1x16, 2x8, 4x4, and more. Each bifurcated Link operates independently, and diagnostics information such as Link status and Lane 2 Applications margin are accessible through in-band (Receiver Server and High-Performance PC Motherboards margining) and out-of-band (SMBus) mechanisms on a PCIe Riser and Add-in Cards per-Link basis. Server-to-Server Cabled Interfaces The pinouts for the Aries portfolio are based on the NVMe JBOFs, GPU/Deep-Learning Accelerators industry standard Retimer Supplemental Specification. Each pinout allows for separate single-layer routing for Aries Smart Retimer Portfolio all high-speed transmit and receive signals. The Gen-4 Part Number PCIe Gen Package Body Size (Nom) and Gen-5 versions of Aries are pin-compatible, allowing PT516xx Gen-5, x16 FC-CSP (354) 8.9 mm x 22.8 mm system designers to future-proof their systems, PT416xx Gen-4, x16 FC-CSP (354) 8.9 mm x 22.8 mm delivering a reach extension solution that can easily and PT508xx Gen-5, x8 FC-CSP (332) 8.5 mm x 13.4 mm quickly scale from PCIe 4.0 to PCIe 5.0.
