MAX3264CUE+

Overview

The MAX3264CUE+ is a +3.0V to +5.5V, 1.25Gbps limiting amplifier designed for Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel optical receiver systems. It accepts a wide range of input voltages and provides constant-level output voltages with controlled edge speeds. The device features current-mode logic (CML) data outputs tolerant of inductive connectors and is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package with an exposed paddle.

Feature Summary

• Low deterministic jitter performance
• Programmable signal-detect function
• Optional squelch function

Applications

• Gigabit Ethernet Optical Receivers
• Fibre Channel Optical Receivers
• System Interconnect
• ATM Optical Receivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the component matches the exact part number MAX3264CUE+. Confirm the manufacturer is Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. Ensure the package type is 16-pin TSSOP-EP. Check that the operating temperature range is 0°C to +70°C. Validate RoHS compliance status based on the '+' suffix.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing optical receivers requiring CML outputs. It is suitable for applications needing low jitter and programmable loss-of-signal detection. Consider the 16-pin TSSOP package for board space requirements. Verify compatibility with GBIC receiver architectures.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3264/MAX3265/MAX3268/MAX3269/MAX3765/MAX3768 family of limiting amplifiers. The MAX3264 variant specifically operates at 1.25Gbps with CML outputs. Other family members offer different data rates or PECL outputs.

Replacement Considerations

MAX3264CUE is a lead-free alternative within the same series. MAX3264C/D is the die version. Cross-reference with MAX3765 variants if PECL outputs are acceptable.
