6.25Gbps, 1.8V PC Board Equalizer
General Description
The MAX3785 6.25Gbps equalizer operates from a sin-
gle 1.8V supply and compensates for transmission-
medium losses encountered with FR-4 transmission
lines. Optimized for low-voltage, high-density, DC-cou-
pled 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 com-
ponents, the MAX3785 easily provides placement and
routing flexibility.
The MAX3785 is composed of an equalizer, limiting
amplifier, and output driver. For data rates of 3.2Gbps
and lower, the MAX3785 equalizes signals for spans up
to 40in of FR-4 board material. For data rates up to
6.25Gbps, the MAX3785 compensates for 30in of FR-4
board material. The MAX3785 is coding independent,
functioning equally well for 8b/10b or scrambled signals.
The MAX3785 features DC-coupled current-mode logic
(CML) data inputs and outputs. It is packaged in a tiny
1.5mm
×
1.5mm chip-scale package (USCP™) and a
6-pin TDFN package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

transmission line is from media-induced loss, not from clock source modulation (see Figure 1).
