The MAX4952A dual-channel redriver is designed to redrive one full lane of SAS or SATA signals up to 6.0GT/s (gigatransfers per second) and operates from a single +3.3V supply.

The MAX4952A features independent input equalization and output preemphasis. The MAX4952A enhances signal 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) signaling is supported using high-speed amplitude detection on the inputs and squelch on the corresponding outputs.

Inputs and outputs are all internally 50Ω terminated and must be AC-coupled to the SAS/SATA controller IC and SAS/SATA device.

The MAX4952A is available in a small 28-pin, 3.5mm x 5.5mm TQFN package with flowthrough traces for ease of layout. This device is specified over the 0°C to +70°C operating temperature range.

Product Detail

The MAX4952A evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX4952A dual-channel buffer. The EV kit contains four sections: an application circuit, characterization circuit, and two calibration traces.

The application circuit (Figure 1a) is designed to demonstrate the MAX4952A IC's use in redriving Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) signals. This section of the EV kit operates from an external +5V supply that is regulated by an on-board LDO to +3.3V, which powers the MAX4952A (U1) device. All traces in the application circuit are 100Ω differential controlled-impedance traces.

The characterization circuit (Figure 1b) is provided for eye diagram evaluation using SMA connectors and 50Ω single-ended controlled-impedance traces. This section is powered by an external +3.3V supply.
