Maxim's 1Gbps to 10.3Gbps quad linear
equalizer for copper interconnects
Maxim has introduced the MAX3986, a 1Gbps to 10.3Gbps
quad linear equalizer for copper interconnects.
The MAX3986 stand-alone equalizer offers return loss of
24dB (typical) and channel-to-channel isolation of 33dB
(typ) for better port matching. Each channel is capable
of compensating for losses in 20 inches of FR4, with data
rates up to 10.3Gbps.
The MAX3986 used to extend the reach of limiting equalizers
and decision feedback equalizers (DFEs), commonly found
integrated into serializers/deserializers (SerDes) and ASICs.
The expanded linear range of the MAX3986 preserves the essential
signal characteristics needed for optimum DFE performance.
Suggested for use in SDR, DDR, and QDR InfiniBand, SDR and
DDR IEEE 803.3ae XAUI, 8.5Gbps Fibre Channel, and serial
10.3Gbps Ethernet applications for backplanes and copper
cable assemblies.
Operating voltage: From 3.3V supply
Operating temperature range: 0°C to +85°C
Package: 5mm x 7mm, 38-pin TQFN package.
Price: Starts at $20.45 for 1k pieces.
