High-Speed Quad Driver with Integrated DACs, Cable-Droop Compensation, Slew-Rate Control, and VHH Fourth-Level Drive

The MAX32000 is a fully integrated, quad-channel, high-performance pin-electronics driver with built-in level-setting DACs, ideal for memory and SOC ATE systems. Each MAX32000 channel includes a four-level pin driver, programmable cable-droop compensation, five 14-bit DACs, and a comparator that is useful for AC calibration.

The driver features a wide -2V to +6V operating range and a data rate of 1200Mbps at +2V operation, and in high-voltage mode (VHH mode) offers an output voltage range of 0 to 13V. The device includes high impedance, active termination (3rd-level drive), and is highly linear even at low voltage swings. The calibration comparators and multiplexer provide a timing calibration path for each channel. A serial interface configures the device, easing PCB signal routing.

The MAX32000 is available in a 64-pin TQFP-EPR package with top-side exposed pad.
