MAX3746 Features

* include a programmable loss-of-signal (LOS) detect, an optional disable function (DISABLE), and an output-signal polarity reversal (OUTPOL). Output disable can be used to implement squelch. The combination of the MAX3746 and the MAX3744/ MAX3724 allows for the implementation of all the smallform-fac
