Maxim Integrated (MAX4951CTP+) Specialized Interface, SATA, Servers

Product Overview The MAX4951CTP+ is a SATA I/SATA II bidirectional re-driver in 20 pin TQFN package. The dual-channel buffer is designed to re-drive serial-ATA (SATA) I and SATA II signals and is functional up to 6.0Gbps for next-generation data rates. The MAX4951 can be placed near an eSATA connector to overcome board losses and produce an eSATA-compatible signal level. The MAX4951 preserves signal integrity at the receiver by re-establishing full output levels and can reduce the total system jitter (TJ) by squaring up the signal. This device features channel-independent digital boost controls to drive SATA outputs over longer trace lengths or to meet eSATA specifications. SATA Out of Band (OOB) signalling is supported using high-speed amplitude detection on the inputs and squelch on the corresponding outputs. Inputs and outputs are all internally 50 ohm terminated and must be AC-coupled to the SATA controller IC and SATA device. Supply voltage range is 3V to 3.6V Operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C Supports SATA I (1.5Gbps) and SATA II (3.0Gbps) Supports up to 6.0Gbps for next-generation applications Meets SATA I, SATA II input/output return loss mask Supports eSATA levels Inline signal traces for flow through layout ESD protection on all pins is ±5.5KV Operating supply current is 90mA and standby supply current is 7mA Applications Communications & Networking, Portable Devices Product Information IC Interface Type: SATA Interface Applications: Servers, Desktop, Notebook Computers, Docking Stations Supply Voltage Min: 3V Supply Voltage Max: 3.6V Interface Case Style: TQFN No. of Pins: 20Pins Operating Temperature Min: 0°C Operating Temperature Max: 70°C Product Range: - Automotive Qualification Standard: - MSL: MSL 1 - Unlimited
