1.5Gbps Serial ATA-Compatible Mux/Buffer with Loopback and Equalization
General Description
The MAX3786 is an AC-coupled, serial-ATA (SATA)compatible, 1.5Gbps multiplexer/buffer (mux/buffer) IC that provides the capability to switch a single serial data signal between two redundant I/O channels. SATA out-of-band (OOB) signaling is supported using loss-of-signal (LOS) detect on all three inputs and shutdown on the corresponding outputs. The high-speed inputs and outputs are all internally terminated, compatible with 100Ω differential systems, and must be AC-coupled to the controller IC and SATA-compatible disk drive.
