Equalizer 6-Pin TDFN EP T/R

The MAX3785UTT+T 6.25Gbps equalizer operates from a single 1.8V supply and compensates for transmission medium losses encountered with FR-4 transmission lines. Optimized for low-voltage, high-density, DC-coupled interconnections between the line card and switch card, the MAX3785UTT+T enables a system upgrade path while maintaining a legacy rate of 2.5Gbps to 3.125Gbps. Roughly the size of two 0603 passive components, the MAX3785UTT+T easily provides placement and Routing flexibility. The MAX3785UTT+T is composed of an equalizer, limiting amplifier, and output driver. For data rates of 3.2Gbps and lower, the MAX3785UTT+T equalizes signals for spans up to 40in of FR-4 board material. For data rates up to 6.25Gbps, the MAX3785UTT+T compensates for 30in of FR-4 board material. The MAX3785UTT+T is coding independent, functioning equally well for 8b/10b or scrambled signals. The MAX3785UTT+T features DC-coupled current-mode logic (CML) data inputs and outputs. It is packaged in a tiny 1.5mm × 1.5mm chip-scale package (UCSP) and a 6-pin TDFN package.
