General Description
The MAX3785 6.25Gbps equalizer operates from a single 1.8V supply and compensates for transmission medium losses encountered with FR-4 transmission lines. Optimized for low-voltage, high-density, DC-coupled interconnections between the line card and switch card, the MAX3785 enables a system upgrade path while maintaining a legacy rate of 2.5Gbps to 3.125Gbps. Roughly the size of two 0603 passive components, the MAX3785 easily provides placement and routing flexibility.

Features
♦ Single 1.8V Supply
♦ Very Low Power, 60mW
♦ Spans 30in with FR-4 at 6.25Gbps
♦ Operates from 1.0Gbps to 6.4Gbps
♦ Coding Independent, 8b/10b or Scrambled
♦ DC-Coupled CML Inputs and Outputs
♦ Small 1.5mm × 1.5mm Footprint

Applications
    HSBI for ≤ 6.4Gbps
    Double IEEE 802.3ae XAUI
    Double STM-16/OC-48
