Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) has launched an ultra low-power, two-channel SATA 3-Gbps redriver and signal conditioner that can extend the interconnect distance between a SATA host and an eSATA connector. The SN75LVCP412A provides a low-power feature, which automatically puts the device in low-power mode (<20 mW) when the link is inactive for more than 10 microseconds. This helps to extend the battery’s life in mobile applications where battery life is of high priority. The SN75LVCP412A can support applications such as notebooks, desktop PCs, docking and workstations and set-top boxes.
