Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The MAX3802 has four independent adaptive cable equalizers and cable drivers on a single chip. It is designed for coaxial and twin-axial cable point-to-point scrambled-data communication applications. The driver features differential current-mode logic (CML) inputs and outputs. The equalizer MAX3802 includes differential CML data inputs and outputs and a TTL loss-of-signal (LOS) output.

The adaptive cable equalizer MAX3802 can equalize differential or single-ended signals at data rates up to 3.2Gbps. It automatically adjusts to attenuation caused by skineffect losses of 30dB at 1.6GHz. The equalizer MAX3802 effectively extends the usable length of copper cable in high-frequency interconnect applications.
