Product details
Overview
MAX3750CEE-TG075 from Maxim Integrated is a +3.3V Fibre Channel port bypass IC optimized for 2.125Gbps arbitrated loop (FC-AL) topologies, featuring a high-speed multiplexer, mismatch-tolerant output driver, 150Ω on-chip differential termination on all inputs and outputs, and 10ps deterministic jitter. It enables hot-swap capability for storage devices in RAID/JBOD systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX3750CEE-TG075 datasheet, MAX3750CEE-TG075 pinout, MAX3750CEE-TG075 application, or MAX3750CEE-TG075 equivalent, key selection criteria include FC-AL data rate compliance, low-power operation at 190mW, differential signal integrity with >1000mVp-p swing, and integrated 150Ω back-termination for simplified layout in cascaded storage interconnects.
Technical Context
The MAX3750CEE-TG075 implements a dual-path TTL-controlled multiplexer routing either IN±→OUT± (SEL = low) or LIN±→OUT± (SEL = high), with independent LOUT± output stage for port bypass functionality. Its internal 150Ω differential input termination and 150Ω on-chip back-termination on all output ports eliminate external resistors and reduce stub reflections.
Designed specifically for Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop, it supports AC-coupled signaling with 10kHz low-frequency cutoff (R = 150Ω, C = 100nF), operates across 0°C to +70°C, and maintains <10ps deterministic jitter under 2.125Gbps NRZ data with k28.5 pattern stress testing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 2.125Gbps - fully compliant with Fibre Channel FC-AL Class II timing requirements. |
| Deterministic Jitter | 10ps peak-to-peak - ensures reliable bit-error-rate performance in cascaded FC-AL loops. |
| Supply Current | 57mA typical at +25°C - enables low-power system-level thermal management in dense storage enclosures. |
| Output Swing | >1000mVp-p into 150Ω - meets FC-AL receiver sensitivity margin with headroom for board loss. |
| Input Impedance | 150Ω differential - matches standard FC-AL transmission line impedance, minimizing reflections. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade mass storage controller and backplane applications. |
| Power Dissipation | 190mW total - includes output drive current, enabling single-supply operation without heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
MAX3750CEE-TG075 is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 10.2mm, 1.0mm pitch), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official datasheet Rev 2 (19-4792).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 5, 8, 16 | GND | Electrical ground reference for all analog and digital circuitry; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 2, 3 | LOUT+, LOUT- | Differential port-bypass output pair - drives downstream FC-AL node when upstream link fails or device is removed. |
| 6, 7 | OUT+, OUT- | Main differential data output pair - carries selected path (IN± or LIN±) to next FC-AL node or host interface. |
| 9 | SEL | TTL-compatible select input - low = route IN± to OUT±; high = route LIN± to OUT±; controls bypass state. |
| 10, 11 | LIN-, LIN+ | Differential port input - receives data from upstream FC-AL node; internally terminated to 150Ω. |
| 14, 15 | IN-, IN+ | Differential device input - accepts data from local storage device (e.g., disk drive); 150Ω terminated. |
| 12, 13 | VCC | +3.3V supply - must be decoupled with 100nF ceramic capacitors placed adjacent to pins per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip 150Ω differential termination | Eliminates four external 150Ω resistors per channel, reducing BOM count and PCB area in FC-AL repeater designs. |
| Mismatch-tolerant output driver | Withstands impedance discontinuities from vias and inductive connectors without signal integrity degradation. |
| Low deterministic jitter (10ps) | Enables ≥3 cascaded nodes in FC-AL without exceeding 50ps total jitter budget at 2.125Gbps. |
| Single +3.3V supply operation | Removes need for dual-rail supplies or level shifters, simplifying power architecture in embedded storage controllers. |
| Hot-swap–capable bypass logic | SEL-controlled path switching allows seamless insertion/removal of storage devices without loop reset or reinitialization. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Fibre Channel port bypass applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX3751CEE | 1.0625Gbps data rate, 180mW power, identical pinout and termination architecture. | Targeted for legacy FC-AL systems operating at half-rate; not suitable for 2.125Gbps full-rate links. | Select MAX3751CEE only when system clocking and transceivers are constrained to 1.0625Gbps. |
| SY88315BLEY | 2.5Gbps data rate, 3.3V supply, but lacks integrated 150Ω back-termination and uses different SEL logic polarity. | Requires external termination and level-shifting; suited for custom high-speed serial repeaters beyond FC-AL spec. | Choose SY88315BLEY only if higher bandwidth and programmable features outweigh FC-AL compliance and layout simplicity. |
Compared with MAX3751CEE and SY88315BLEY, the MAX3750CEE-TG075 uniquely delivers FC-AL–specific 2.125Gbps operation with full on-chip 150Ω termination, enabling drop-in replacement in certified storage subsystems without redesigning signal integrity paths.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for MAX3750CEE-TG075?
The MAX3750CEE-TG075 supports a maximum data rate of 2.125Gbps, fully compliant with Fibre Channel FC-AL Class II specifications. This rate is confirmed in the AC Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet (Rev 2, 19-4792), where deterministic jitter is measured under 2.125Gbps NRZ conditions using the k28.5 pattern. The MAX3750CEE-TG075 is not rated for operation above this speed.
Does MAX3750CEE-TG075 require external termination resistors?
No, the MAX3750CEE-TG075 integrates 150Ω differential termination on all inputs (LIN±, IN±) and 150Ω on-chip back-termination on all outputs (LOUT±, OUT±). This eliminates the need for external termination resistors, reducing component count and PCB area. Layout guidance in the datasheet confirms that no external resistors are required for standard FC-AL interface compliance.
How does the SEL pin control signal routing in MAX3750CEE-TG075?
The SEL pin on the MAX3750CEE-TG075 is a TTL-compatible control input: when driven low, it routes the IN± signal to the OUT± output; when driven high, it routes the LIN± signal to the OUT± output. This dual-path selection enables hot-swap bypass functionality. The internal block diagram (Figure 1) and Pin Description table confirm this behavior, with no hysteresis or delay specified beyond propagation times.
Is MAX3750CEE-TG075 compatible with 1.0625Gbps Fibre Channel systems?
No, the MAX3750CEE-TG075 is specifically characterized and guaranteed for 2.125Gbps operation only. For 1.0625Gbps systems, Maxim specifies the pin-compatible MAX3751CEE variant. While the MAX3750CEE-TG075 may function at lower rates in some lab conditions, its jitter, rise/fall time, and AC specs are not validated below 2.125Gbps per the datasheet's test conditions and AC Electrical Characteristics table.
What is the operating temperature range for MAX3750CEE-TG075?
The MAX3750CEE-TG075 is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C, as stated in the Ordering Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the datasheet. This commercial-grade temperature range applies to the "CEE" suffix variant. It is not rated for extended industrial (-40°C to +85°C) operation - that range applies only to the "CSE" or "CWE" variants, not MAX3750CEE-TG075.
