GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
o Compensates Up to 30in (0.75m) of 6-mil FR-4 Transmission Line Loss o 115mW Operating Power o Up to 12.5Gbps Data Rate o Compatible with 8B10B, 64B66B, and PRBS Data o Less than 30psP-P Residual Jitter After Equalization o 3-Bit Equalization Level Select Input o 3mm x 3mm Thin QFN Package o DC-Coupling to 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V CML I/O o -40°C to +85°C Operation o +3.3V Core Supply Voltage MAX3804 Residual jitter after equalization for 10.7Gbps signals is typically 24psP-P on the maximum path length. The MAX3804 is ideal for 10Gbps chip-to-chip serial interconnections on inexpensive FR-4 material. Its 3mm ✕ 3mm package affords optimal placement and routing flexibility. It has separate VCC connections for internal logic and current-mode logic (CML) I/O. This allows the CML input and output to be referenced to isolated supplies, providing independent DC-coupled interfacing to 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V ICs. Eight discrete levels of input equalization can be selected through a digital control input, enabling the equalizer to be matched to a range of transmission line path loss.
