MAX4951 Dual-Channel Buffer

Analog Devices MAX4951 dual-channel buffer is designed to re-drive serial-ATA (SATA) I and SATA II signals and is functional up to 6.0Gbps for next-generation data rates. The buffer can be placed near an eSATA connector to overcome board losses and produce an eSATA-compatible signal level. The MAX4951 preserves signal integrity at the receiver by reestablishing full output levels and can reduce the total system jitter (Tj) by squaring up the signal. This Analog Devices dual-channel buffer is optimized for use in a variety of applications, including servers, desktop computers, notebook PCs, docking stations, and data storage / workstations.
