TINY, ADAPTIVE 10.7Gbps EQUALIZER EXTENDS REACH OVER FR-4 OR CABLE
SUNNYVALE, CA-August 19, 2003-Maxim Integrated Products
(NASDAQ: MXIM) builds upon its industry-leading equalizer portfolio with the introduction of the MAX3805 10.7Gbps adaptive receive equalizer. For 10Gbps NRZ serial data in serial communications applications, this equalizer effectively extends the usable length up to 30in (0.75m) on 6-mil FR-4 or up to 24ft (8m) on RG-188A/U type coaxial cable. Use the MAX3805 to compensate for long 10Gbps copper links in backplane, rack-to-rack, and shelf-to-shelf interconnection applications. The MAX3805 provides 20dB of automatically adaptive receive equalization at 5GHz for PCB signal integrity applications from 9.95Gbps to 10.7Gbps.
The MAX3805 operates from a 3.3V supply and allows CML inputs and outputs to DC-couple to 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V ICs, thereby saving off-chip component count. This tiny 3mm x 3mm chip achieves <30psP-P jitter performance with only 135mW of power consumption at 3.3V. The MAX3805 operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Prices start at $10.95 (1000-up, FOB USA). An evaluation kit is available to speed designs.
