Status

Active: In Production.

Description

The MAX3803 equalizer automatically provides compensation for transmission-medium losses encountered with FR4 stripline and cable in an incredibly small 2mm x 2.5mm package. It is ideal for backplane applications requiring up to 40in between the line card and the switch card or up to 10m of twin ax cable between racks. Its small size provides placement and routing flexibility. The CML inputs and outputs are DC-coupled and can be terminated to a supply as low as +1.1V. The MAX3803 operates from 0°C to +85°C and consumes 160mW at +3.3V.
