The MAX3987 is a 4-channel receive and transmit equalizer (EQ). It compensates for transmission medium losses encountered with FR4 stripline/microstrip and/or high-speed cable. The device can be used at the beginning, middle, or end of a channel. The input equalization requires no setting, and the output preemphasis (PE) is programmable.

For each channel, the preemphasis level, output drive level, output polarity, and powering down of unused outputs are programmable through an I²C serial interface. It can also be configured globally through pins.

The device operates from a 2.5V or 3.3V supply, and is packaged in a 7mm x 7mm, 48-pin TQFN.

Applications

  • FR4 and Cable Equalization
  • PCIe® Compatible
  • Preemphasis and Receive Equalization
  • Redrive
  • XAUI and XAUI2, Fibre Channel, Interlaken, InfiniBandTM/SM, SAS-2 and SATA Revision 3 OOB

Product Detail

The MAX3987 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested PCB that demonstrates the capabilities of the MAX3987 8.5Gbps quad equalizer and preemphasis driver. The EV kit can be controlled using a PC to run the evaluation software or using DIP switches mounted on the EV kit to bias hardware pins. The included software is Windows® compatible and provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) to configure all available device features. The software communicates with the EV kit through a USB port and provides three methods for configuration. The primary method is a simple point-and-click interface. The other debug interfaces allow direct register read/write operations, or software-controlled external pin programming. The data I/O traces on the EV kit are controlled impedance with matched lengths. All external connections are AC-coupled with standard SMA connectors for easy connection to test equipment.

Applications

  • FR4 and Cable Equalization
  • PCIe® Compatible
  • Preemphasis and Receive Equalization
  • Redrive
  • XAUI and XAUI2, Fibre Channel, Interlaken, InfiniBandTM/SM, SAS-2 and SATA Revision 3 OOB
