Single-channel eSATA signal conditioner
The Analog Devices MAX4951AECTP+ is a single-channel Buffer, ReDriver IC designed specifically for eSATA applications. It operates from a 3V to 3.6V supply, drawing 75mA, and supports data rates up to 3Gbps with a propagation delay of 240ps. The part comes in a 20-TQFN (4x4) package with an exposed pad for thermal management, and is rated for the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is in effect. No official second source is listed, so dual-sourcing would require a pin-compatible alternative from a different vendor — none is documented in the manufacturer's cross-reference.
