Maxim Integrated’s SFP+ optical transceiver enables • High integration: integrates programmable transmit input equalization, receive output deemphasis, DDM, and highly accurate analog monitors (including temperature, VCC, and RSSI sensors) to reduce cost of external components
• Low power: the device’s proprietary DC-coupled laser interface enables • High performance: the MAX3956 results in 4.6psP-P deterministic jitter (receiver) and 5psP-P deterministic jitter (transmitter)
Commentary
• “Designers always have a power/performance trade off in optical transceivers,” said Stacey McKinney, Strategic Marketing Manager at Maxim Integrated. “Now, the MAX3956 SFP+ transceiver IC combines both low power and high performance with the optimal combination of features.”
• “Demand for 10GBASE-LR modules is increasing with the proliferation of large data centers,” said Dale Murray, Principal Analyst with LightCounting. “Low-power SFP+ optical transceivers are critical to data center operators as power consumption is becoming as critical as density.”
Availability and Pricing
• The MAX3956 is available in a 5mm x 5mm, 32-pin TQFN-EP package.
• The device operates over the -40°C to +95°C temperature range.
• Contact factory for pricing.
A reference design is available to qualified customers. Hi-res images for the MAX3956 end application and the MAX3956 block diagram are available.
