Datasheet

General Description
The MAX3802 has four independent adaptive cable
equalizers and cable drivers on a single chip. It is
designed for coaxial and twin-axial cable point-to-point
scrambled-data communication applications. The driver
features differential current-mode logic (CML) inputs and
outputs. The equalizer includes differential CML data
inputs and outputs and a TTL loss-of-signal (LOS) output.
The adaptive cable equalizer can equalize differential or
single-ended signals at data rates up to 3.2Gbps. It auto-
matically adjusts to attenuation caused by skineffect loss-
es of 30dB at 1.6GHz. The equalizer effectively extends
the usable length of copper cable in high-frequency inter-
connect applications.
