3.2Gbps Adaptive Equalizer
and Cable Driver
General Description
The MAX3800 is a +3.3V adaptive cable equalizer and
cable driver implemented together on a single chip. It is
designed for coaxial and twin-axial cable point-to-point
communications applications. The driver features differ-
ential current-mode logic (CML) inputs and outputs as
well as adjustable output amplitude. The equalizer
includes differential CML data inputs and outputs, a
loss-of-signal (LOS) output, and a cable integrity moni-
tor (CIM) output.
The adaptive cable equalizer is capable of equalizing
differential or single-ended signals at data rates up to
3.2Gbps. It automatically adjusts to attenuation caused
by skin-effect losses of up to 30dB at 1.6GHz. The
equalizer effectively extends the usable length of cop-
per cable in high-frequency interconnect applications.
The MAX3800 is available in a 32-pin TQFP package
with exposed pad and consumes only 200mW at
+3.3V. The driver can be disconnected from the power
supply when it is not needed, resulting in a 40% reduc-
tion in supply current.

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.
