Product details
Overview
MAX3783UCM-TD from Maxim Integrated is a dual-channel 2.7Gbps serial multiplexer and buffer with selectable line-side loopback, designed for high-speed system interconnect and serial backplane applications. It features CML I/O, on-chip 100Ω differential input termination and 50Ω output back-termination, 11ps deterministic jitter, and operates from a single 3.3V supply in a 48-pin TQFP-EP package.
For engineers reviewing the MAX3783UCM-TD datasheet, MAX3783UCM-TD pinout, MAX3783UCM-TD application, or MAX3783UCM-TD equivalent, key selection criteria include deterministic jitter performance at 2.75Gbps, TTL-compatible control logic (SELA/SELB/LB1A–LB2B), CML input/output voltage swing compatibility, and thermal management via exposed-pad grounding.
Technical Context
The MAX3783UCM-TD implements two independent signal paths, each integrating a 2:1 receiver mux (LI1_/LI2_ → SO_) and a transmitter with dual fanout (SI_ → LO1_/LO2_). Control is fully TTL-compatible with internal 15kΩ pull-up resistors on SELA, SELB, LB1A–LB2B pins.
Each channel supports AC-coupled PECL operation via CML I/O with guaranteed 1200–2200mVp-p differential output swing and 200–2200mVp-p input tolerance. Deterministic jitter is specified at 11psp-p (K28.5 pattern) and propagation delay is 340–500ps (LI_→SO_, SI_→LO_, LI_→LO_).

Pinout & Package
The MAX3783UCM-TD is housed in a 48-pin TQFP-EP (exposed pad) package. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal dissipation and electrical reference stability.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 2:1 Mux + Dual Fanout Transmitter | Enables redundant serial I/O path selection and failover without external logic or buffers |
| Selectably Enabled Line-Side Loopback | Per-channel loopback (LB1A–LB2B) allows in-system testing of physical layer without host intervention |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel serial mux/buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX3782UCM-TD | Single-channel version; identical specs per channel but no second independent path | Used where only one 2.7Gbps path is needed; lacks dual-path redundancy | Select MAX3783UCM-TD when dual independent channels with separate control are required for fault-tolerant designs |
| DS25BR100TSQ/NOPB | 2.5Gbps dual mux/buffer with LVDS I/O (not CML); no integrated loopback control | Targets lower-power, lower-jitter LVDS systems; requires external loopback routing | Choose MAX3783UCM-TD for CML/PECL ecosystems and built-in line-side loopback capability |
Compared with MAX3782UCM-TD and DS25BR100TSQ/NOPB, the MAX3783UCM-TD uniquely delivers dual-channel independence with per-channel TTL loopback enables and on-chip CML termination-critical for compact, testable, and redundant 2.7Gbps backplane architectures.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed data rate for the MAX3783UCM-TD?
The MAX3783UCM-TD is guaranteed to operate at 2.75 Gbps with full specification compliance, including jitter and eye diagram performance. Testing shows functional operation up to 3.125 Gbps, though some parameters like deterministic jitter increase to 25 psp-p at that rate. For production designs targeting 2.7Gbps serial links (e.g., Fibre Channel FC-2, XAUI), the MAX3783UCM-TD meets all timing and signal integrity requirements per its datasheet.
Does the MAX3783UCM-TD require external termination resistors?
No, the MAX3783UCM-TD integrates 100Ω differential termination on all CML inputs (LI1A/B, LI2A/B, SIA/B) and 50Ω back-termination on all CML outputs (SOA/B, LO1A/B, LO2A/B). This eliminates the need for external resistors in standard CML configurations. External AC-coupling capacitors remain necessary for PECL compatibility, but termination is fully on-die.
How does the loopback function work on the MAX3783UCM-TD?
The MAX3783UCM-TD provides four independent TTL-controlled loopback paths: LB1A/LB2A for channel A and LB1B/LB2B for channel B. When asserted low, each LB_ pin routes the corresponding SO_ output to its paired LO1_ or LO2_ output. This line-side loopback enables physical-layer testing without modifying upstream or downstream circuitry-ideal for manufacturing BIST and field diagnostics.
What is the role of the exposed pad on the MAX3783UCM-TD package?
The exposed pad on the MAX3783UCM-TD's 48-pin TQFP-EP package serves as both thermal conduction path and electrical ground reference. It must be soldered directly to the PCB ground plane to achieve specified thermal resistance and ensure stable 1.12W power dissipation. Failure to connect the EP pad results in elevated junction temperature and potential parametric shift or reliability risk.
Can the MAX3783UCM-TD interface directly with PECL devices?
Yes-the MAX3783UCM-TD's CML I/O supports AC-coupled PECL operation. Its inputs accept common-mode voltages from –0.5V to (VCC + 0.5V) and differential swings up to ±2.8V, matching LVPECL levels when coupled through 0.1μF capacitors. The outputs deliver 1200–2200mVp-p swing into 50Ω, compatible with PECL receivers when DC-biased appropriately per HFAN-01.0/01.1 application notes.
