MAX3785

19-2630; Rev 1; 8/03 6.25Gbps, 1.8V PC Board Equalizer General Description The MAX3785 6.25Gbps equalizer operates from a single 1.8V supply and compensates for transmissionmedium losses encountered with FR4 transmission lines. Optimized for low-voltage, high-density, DC-coupled interconnections between the line card and switch card, the MAX3785 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 MAX3785 easily provides placement and routing flexibility. The MAX3785 is comprised of an equalizer, limiting amplifier, and output driver. For data rates of 3.2Gbps and lower, the MAX3785 equalizes signals for spans up to 40in of FR4 board material. For data rates up to 6.25Gbps, the MAX3785 compensates for 30in of FR4 board material. The MAX3785 is coding independent, functioning equally well for 8b/10b or scrambled signals. The MAX3785 features DC-coupled current-mode logic (CML) data inputs and outputs. It is packaged in a tiny 1.5mm ✕ 1.5mm chip-scale package (USCP™) and a 6-pin TDFN package. o Single 1.8V Supply o Very Low Power, 60mW o Spans 30in with FR4 at 6.25Gbps o Operates from 1.0Gbps to 6.4Gbps o Coding Independent, 8b/10b or Scrambled o DC-Coupled CML Inputs and Outputs o Small 1.5mm × 1.5mm Footprint Features MAX3785 Ordering Information PART MAX3785UBL MAX3785UTT TEMP RANGE PINPACKAGE PACKAGE CODE — T633-1 0°C to +85°C 6 UCSP (3 × 3) 0°C to +85°C 6 TDFN Pin Configuration TOP...
