The MAX3804 driver with integrated analog equalizer compensates up to 20dB of loss at 5GHz. It is designed to ensure PC board signal integrity up to 12.5Gbps, where frequency-dependent skin effect and dielectric losses typically produce unacceptable amounts of intersymbol interference. The MAX3804 can extend the practical chip-to-chip transmission distance for 10Gbps NRZ serial data up to 30in (0.75m) on FR-4, and it significantly decreases deterministic jitter. Residual jitter after equalization for 10.7Gbps signals is typically 24psP-P on the maximum path length.
