The MAX3787 is a 1Gbps to 12.5Gbps equalization network that compensates for transmission medium losses encountered with FR4 and cables.
The MAX3787 is a passive equalization network designed to compensate loss in FR4 backplanes and cables for high‑speed serial links. It operates over a data‑rate range of 1 Gbps to 12.5 Gbps and can be placed anywhere along the transmission path to improve jitter margin. The device is packaged in a tiny 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm chip‑scale UCSP package and requires no external power supply.
Typical applications include backplane interconnect compensation, cable interconnect compensation, chip‑to‑chip link extensions, and Ethernet or Fibre‑Channel serial modules. Key features are coding‑independent equalization, 100 Ω differential impedance, and operation across a temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C.
