MAX4950CTO+T

General Description
The MAX4950 PCI Express (PCIe
®
) quad equalizer/
redriver operates from a single +3.3V supply. This
device improves signal integrity at the receiver through
programmable input equalization and programmable
redrive circuitry. The output circuitry reestablishes de-
emphasis lost on the board, compensating for circuit
board loss. This device permits optimal placement of
key PCIe components and longer runs of stripline,
microstrip, or cable.
The MAX4950 contains four identical buffers capable of
equalizing differential signals at data rates up to 5GT/s,
and features electrical idle and receiver detection on
each channel. The MAX4950 is ideal for use with PCIe
Gen I (2.5GT/s) and Gen II (5.0GT/s) data rates and
features a power-saving mode.
The MAX4950 is available in a small, lead-free, 42-pin
(3.5mm x 9.0mm) TQFN package for optimal layout and
minimal space requirements. The board traces are flow-
through for ease of layout. The MAX4950 is specified
over the 0°C to +70°C operating temperature range.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
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.
