MAX14986ETI+

MAX14986ETI+ is a dual-channel redriver that is designed to redrive one full lane of SAS or SATA signals up to 6.0GT/s (Giga transfers per second) and operates from a single +3.3V supply. It features independent input equalization and output preemphasis. It enhances signal integrity at the receiver by equalizing the signal at the input and establishing preemphasis at the output of the device. SAS and SATA OOB (out-of-band) 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 SAS/SATA controller IC and SAS/SATA device. Applications include industrial/embedded PCs, computer on modules, carrier boards, test equipment, rack server industrial PCs, and medical equipment.
