Fibre channel port bypass switch — what it is and where it fits
The Maxim Integrated MAX3750CEE-TG075 is a fibre channel port bypass switch designed for data transport applications. It operates from a 3V to 3.6V supply and is housed in a 16-SSOP (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package, with the supplier device package listed as 16-QSOP.
Supply rail and package — what they mean for the BOM
The 3V to 3.6V supply range ties this part to a 3.3V nominal rail with margin for 3.0V or 3.6V extremes, typical for fibre channel transceiver modules and backplane repeaters. The 16-pin SSOP footprint (3.90mm body width) is a common small-outline package; the 16-QSOP variant is dimensionally identical in footprint but slightly thinner — both share the same PCB land pattern, so a single board layout covers both. No second-source or pin-compatible alternate is listed in the available records.
