MAX3801UGG-T

Specialized Overview

The MAX3801UGG-T is an adaptive equalizer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand, designed for high-speed serial data transmission applications. It operates at a maximum data rate of 3.2 Gb/s and is powered by a single 3.3 V supply voltage. The device draws a typical operating current of 37 mA and dissipates up to 1.63 W of power. It features one transmitter and one receiver channel, delivering a 1 V output voltage swing. The component is housed in a TQFN-24 surface-mount package and functions within an industrial temperature range from 0°C to +85°C.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Adaptive equalization capability for signal integrity restoration on lossy copper channels
• Integrated driver and receiver circuitry for point-to-point interconnects
• Low-power operation suitable for thermally constrained environments

Specialized Applications

• High-speed backplane interconnects
• Copper-based serial communication links
• Data acquisition systems requiring signal conditioning

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributors. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability records for quality assurance purposes.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring adaptive equalization at speeds up to 3.2 Gb/s. Verify that the system power budget accommodates the 37 mA operating current and 1.63 W power dissipation. Ensure the PCB layout supports the TQFN-24 package thermal requirements.

Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3801 series of adaptive equalizers. It complements other Maxim Integrated interface solutions by providing signal conditioning for high-speed digital links. The series addresses challenges related to channel loss in copper media.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements within the MAX3801 family. Evaluate alternative adaptive equalizers from Analog Devices if the specific 3.2 Gb/s performance or TQFN-24 package is unavailable.
