MAX72024C+

Overview

The MAX72024C+ is a next-generation enhanced 24-Physical Layer (PHY) serial-attached SCSI-2 (SAS-2) compatible expander manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It supports data rates of 1.5Gbps, 3.0Gbps, and 6.0Gbps per PHY. The device functions as a SAS-2.1-compliant expander designed for high-performance storage applications.

Feature Summary

• Supports SAS-2.1 compliance with 24 independent physical layers
• Enables scalable storage connectivity through multi-port expansion
• Operates across standard SAS data transfer speeds

Applications

• Enterprise storage systems requiring high port density
• SAS expander implementations in server architectures
• Data center storage networking infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and temperature grade against official Analog Devices documentation to ensure compatibility with your system requirements. Confirm package availability and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as supply status may vary. Ensure all electrical specifications match your design constraints before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density SAS-2 expander solution is required for enterprise environments. Evaluate the 24-PHY capacity against your port count needs. Consider thermal management and power delivery capabilities inherent to the package type during the initial design phase to ensure reliable operation under load.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated SAS expander family, designed to expand the number of connected devices in a Serial Attached SCSI topology. It serves as a critical interconnect component in complex storage area networks, facilitating communication between multiple initiators and targets within a single domain.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Analog Devices substitution guides for verified alternatives. Generic cross-references are not recommended due to strict signaling and protocol compliance requirements inherent to SAS standards.
