MAX3980UTH+T

General Description
The MAX3980 quad equalizer provides compensation
for transmission medium losses for four “lanes” of digi-
tal NRZ data at a 3.125Gbps data rate in one package.
It is tailor-made for 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) back-
plane applications requiring attenuation of noise and jit-
ter that occur in communicating from MAC to PMD or
from MAC to Switch. In support of the IEEE-802.3ae for
the XAUI interface, the MAX3980 adaptively allows
XAUI lanes to reach up to 40in (1.0m) on FR-4 board
material.
The equalizer has 100Ω differential CML data inputs
and outputs.
The MAX3980 is available in a 44-pin exposed-pad
QFN package. The MAX3980 consumes only 700mW at
+3.3V or 175mW per channel.

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

Note 1: K28.7 pattern is applied differentially at point A as shown in Figure 1.
Note 2: Total jitter does not include the signal source jitter. Total jitter (TJ) = [14.1 x RJ + DJ] where RJ is random RMS jitter and DJ
is maximum deterministic jitter. Signal source is a K28.5± pattern (00 1111 1010 11 0000 0101) for the deterministic jitter
test and K28.7 (0011111000) or equivalent for the random jitter test. Residual jitter is that which remains after equalizing
media-induced losses of the environment of Figure 1 or its equivalent. The deterministic jitter at point B must be from media-
induced loss and not from clock-source modulation. Jitter is measured at 0 at point C of Figure 1.
Note 3: Using K28.7 (0011111000) pattern.
