MAX3880ECB+

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX3880ECB+ is a high-speed deserializer from the MAX3880 series, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates with a single PECL input and provides sixteen LVDS outputs, supporting data rates up to 2.488 Gbps for SDH/SONET applications. The device functions within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V and draws approximately 200 mA during operation. It is housed in a 64-lead TQFP package with an exposed pad (10x10 mm) and supports surface-mount installation. The component is rated for industrial temperatures between -40°C and +85°C.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Converts a single high-speed serial PECL input into sixteen parallel LVDS outputs
• Supports standard SDH/SONET transmission rates up to 2.488 Gbps
• Designed for low power consumption within a 3V to 3.6V supply range

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

• SDH/SONET network infrastructure systems
• High-speed serial-to-parallel data conversion interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment requiring LVDS distribution

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation, as lead times and availability vary significantly across distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements before ordering. Check for obsolescence notices or last-time buy notifications directly from the manufacturer to ensure long-term supply stability.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single differential PECL source must drive multiple LVDS loads at OC-48 speeds. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 64-TQFP footprint and thermal pad requirements. Verify that the system power supply can deliver the required current without exceeding the maximum voltage rating of 3.6 V.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3880 family of serializers and deserializers designed for optical networking standards. It complements other devices in the series by handling the parallel output stage, enabling complete serial-to-parallel conversion chains for high-bandwidth telecommunications signals.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible upgrades within the same family. Verify if newer generations offer improved jitter performance or lower power consumption while maintaining the 64-TQEP package form factor.
