The SY58627L high-speed, low jitter receive buffer is optimized for backplane and transmission line data-path management applications. The SY58627L is capable of receiving serial data up to 6.4Gbps across up to 36 inches of FR4.The SY58627L differential input includes Micrel's unique, 3-pin input termination architecture that directly interfaces to any differential signal as small as 100mVpk (AC- or DC-coupled) without any termination resistor networks in the signal path. The outputs are 50Ω source-terminated CML optimized to drive 400mVpk into 50Ω (100Ω load across the output pair). The I/O termination is connected to a dedicated VTT pin for added bias flexibility.The SY58627L receiver input provides four levels of equalization to compensate for degraded signals resulting from transmission losses. The equalization is programmed with a three-bit interface.The SY58627L operates at 3.3V ±10% supply and is guaranteed over the full industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The SY58627L is part of Micrel's high-speed, Precision Edge® product line.
