MAX3840 Overview
The MAX3840 is a dual 2 ✕ 2 asynchronous crosspoint switch for SDH/SONET DWDM and other high-speed data switching applications where serial data stream loop-through and protection channel switching are required. It is ideal for OC-48 systems with forward error correction. A high-bandwidth, fully differential signal path minimizes jitter accumulation, crosstalk, and signal skew.
