MAX3098EAESE+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX3098EAESE+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for the MAX3098EAESE+?
  The recommended PCB layout for the MAX3098EAESE+ involves placing the device near the signal source, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the signal traces. Additionally, it's recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated power plane and a dedicated ground plane.
• How do I ensure the MAX3098EAESE+ is properly terminated?
  To ensure proper termination, the MAX3098EAESE+ requires a 50Ω termination resistor between the output pins (RX+/RX-) and the signal source. The termination resistor should be placed as close to the device as possible.
• What is the maximum cable length supported by the MAX3098EAESE+?
  The maximum cable length supported by the MAX3098EAESE+ depends on the specific application and the type of cable used. However, as a general guideline, the device can support cable lengths up to 100 meters at data rates up to 100 Mbps.
• How do I handle ESD protection for the MAX3098EAESE+?
  The MAX3098EAESE+ has built-in ESD protection, but additional protection measures can be taken to ensure the device is protected from electrostatic discharge. This includes using ESD-protective packaging, handling the device by the body rather than the pins, and using an ESD wrist strap or mat during handling.
• What is the power consumption of the MAX3098EAESE+?
  The power consumption of the MAX3098EAESE+ depends on the specific application and the data rate. However, the typical power consumption is around 150mW at 100 Mbps, and the device can operate from a single 3.3V supply.
