MAX3784AUTE+

Specialized Overview

The MAX3784AUTE+ is a 5Gbps PCB equalizer designed to compensate for transmission-medium losses in up to 40 inches of FR-4. It operates on a single +3.3V supply, consuming 185mW at +3.3V. The device features differential CML data inputs and outputs with an input voltage swing of 400mVP-P to 1000mVP-P and an output voltage swing of 550mVP-P to 750mVP-P. It provides latency of 200ps and deterministic jitter of 0.18UI at 5Gbps over 40in. The component is housed in a 4mm x 4mm, 16-pin TQFN package.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Compensates for transmission-medium losses in up to 40 inches of FR-4
• Reduces intersymbol interference (ISI) through adaptive equalization
• Includes standby mode to reduce power consumption when inactive

Specialized Applications

• Chassis Life Extension
• 4.25Gbps Fibre Channel
• 4x Multiplexed 1.25Gbps Ethernet (5Gbps)

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against official documentation to ensure correct temperature range and package type. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the plus sign in the part number. Check current availability and lifecycle status directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component for high-speed serial links requiring compensation for short-run length losses. Ensure the design supports differential CML signaling and AC-coupling requirements. Verify that the application environment stays within the specified operating temperature range of 0°C to +85°C.

Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3784 family of 5Gbps PCB equalizers manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It is specifically optimized for balanced codes like 8b10b found in multiplexed Ethernet and Fibre Channel systems. The 'A' variant denotes specific electrical characteristics compared to the standard MAX3784.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

The MAX3784UTE+ serves as a direct functional replacement, differing primarily in output voltage swing specifications. Both share identical pinouts and packaging.
