Adaptive equalizer for high-speed serial links
The Maxim Integrated MAX3801UGG is an adaptive equalizer designed to compensate for signal degradation over copper or backplane traces in high-speed serial data links. It automatically adjusts its equalization to match the channel loss, extending the reach of signals at data rates typical of multi-gigabit interfaces. This part is suited for applications such as telecom infrastructure, data-center interconnects, and test equipment where preserving signal integrity over lossy media is critical.
Lifecycle and compliance — active, but RoHS non-compliant
There is no last-time-buy risk for new designs or ongoing production. However, the part is RoHS non-compliant, which rules it out for assemblies that must meet lead-free directives.
Sourcing posture — quoted to order
For production runs or BOM line fills, submit an RFQ to secure allocation and lead-time visibility.
