MAX4952
The MAX4952 quad-channel redriver is designed to
redrive two full lanes of SAS or SATA signals up to
6.0GT/s (gigatransfers per second) and operates from
a single +3.3V supply.
The MAX4952 features independent input equalization
and output preemphasis. The MAX4952 enhances sig-
nal integrity at the receiver by equalizing the signal at
the input and establishing preemphasis at the output of
the device. SAS and SATA OOB (Out-of-Band) signal-
ing is supported using high-speed amplitude detection
on the inputs and squelch on the corresponding out-
puts. Inputs and outputs are all internally 50Ω terminat-
ed and must be AC-coupled to the SAS/SATA controller
IC and SAS/SATA device.
The MAX4952 is available in a small 42-pin, 3.5mm x
9mm TQFN package with flowthrough traces for ease of
layout. This device is specified over the 0°C to +70°C
operating temperature range.

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.

Note 2:
All devices are 100% production tested at T
A
= +70°C. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Note 3:
Guaranteed by design.
Note 4:
EQ (input equalization) as employed in this device refers to the equivalent of adding preemphasis before the input. For
example, input EQ of 3dB would show the same waveform as output PE of 3dB (see Figure 1).
