2.7Gbps Dual Mux/Buffer with Loopback
General Description
The MAX3783 is a dual serial multiplexer (mux) and
buffer with selectable line-side loopback for system
interconnect and serial backplane applications up to
2.7Gbps. Each independent channel consists of a trans-
mitter with fanout of two and a receiver with a 2:1 input
mux. Selectable loopback paths support system testing.
Operating from a single 3.3V supply, this device has
current-mode logic (CML) inputs and outputs, which
can be AC-coupled for PECL compatibility, if desired.
The IC is packaged in a compact 48-pin TQFP-EP pack-
age with exposed pad. Typical power consumption is
1.12W.

Control Lines
TTL-compatible control lines are provided to select the
MAX3783’s operating mode (Table 1). SELA and SELB
set the mux for channels A and B, respectively, to
select LI1_ or LI2_ to connect to the SO_ output.
LB1A,
LB1B, LB2A,
and
LB2B
enable loopback mode for
each of the four LO_ outputs. All control lines are inter-
nally pulled high through 15kΩ resistors.

Detailed Description
The MAX3783 is a 2.7Gbps dual serial mux/buffer with
selectable line-side loopback for system test. Each half
of the MAX3783 provides a transmitter with a fanout of
two and a receiver with a 2:1 mux, as shown in the func-
tional diagram.
Exposed-Pad (EP) Package
The exposed pad on the 48-pin TQFP-EP provides a
very low thermal-resistance path for heat removal from
the IC. The pad is also electrical ground on the
MAX3783 and must be soldered to the circuit board for
proper thermal and electrical performance.
