Retimers: The Key to Reliability and Performance in Process Apps? (Download)

Read this article online.

Retimers are already built into a lot of technology like PCI Express (PCIe) and USB. However, to ensure that all of the components stay in sync and function at their best, they may need to be added in when implementing a large or complex process system.

"Retimer process control" is the application of a retimer chip to ensure the signal quality of data transmission within a network. This may not be necessary in small systems, but when cable runs get longer (an exact cutoff is hard to define) or when other issues are present that could impact signal quality, retimer tech comes to the rescue and can ensure proper functioning even over long distances.
