MAX3784
5Gbps PCB Equalizer
Part Details
- Spans 40in (1m) of FR-4 PCB
- 0.18UI Deterministic Jitter Up to 40in
- Low Power Consumption: 185mW (MAX3784)
- Equalization Reduces Intersymbol Interference
- Single +3.3V Supply
- Standby Mode
- Small 4mm × 4mm, 16-Pin QFN Package
The MAX3784/MAX3784A 5Gbps equalizers provide compensation for transmission-medium losses in up to 40in of FR-4. They are optimized for short-run length and balanced codes such as 8b10b, as found in multiplexed 1.25Gbps Ethernet systems and 4.25Gbps Fibre Channel.
The equalizers use differential CML data inputs and outputs. A standby mode reduces power consumption when the parts are not in use. The MAX3784/MAX3784A are available in a 4mm × 4mm, 16-pin QFN package that consumes only 185mW at +3.3V.
Applications
- 4.25Gbps Fibre Channel
- 4x Multiplexed 1.25Gbps Ethernet (5Gbps)
- Chassis Life Extension
