MAX3841ETG+

General Description
The MAX3841 is a low-power, 12.5Gbps 2 × 2 cross-
point switch IC for high-speed serial data loopback,
redundancy, and switching applications. The MAX3841
current-mode logic (CML) inputs and outputs have iso-
lated V
CC
connections to enable DC-coupled interfaces
to 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V CML ICs. Fully differential signal
paths and Maxim’s second-generation SiGe technology
provide optimum signal integrity, minimizing jitter,
crosstalk, and signal skew. The MAX3841 is ideal for
serial OC-192 and 10GbE optical module, line card,
switch fabric, and similar applications.
The MAX3841 has 150mV
P-P
minimum differential input
sensitivity, and 500mV
P-P
nominal differential output
swing. Unused outputs can be powered down individu-
ally to conserve power. In addition to functioning as a 2
× 2 switch, the MAX3841 can be configured as a 2:1
multiplexer, 1:2 buffer, or dual 1:1 buffer. The MAX3841
is available in a 4mm × 4mm 24-pin thin QFN package,
and consumes only 215mW with both outputs enabled.

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.
Note 1: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
