MAX4951 Features

* channel-independent digital boost controls to drive SATA outputs over longer trace lengths, or to meet eSATA specifications. SATA Out-Of-Band (OOB) signaling is supported using high-speed amplitude detection on the inputs, and squelch on the corresponding outputs. Inputs and outputs are all internal
