12.5Gbps CML 2 × 2 Crosspoint Switch
The MAX3841 is a low-power, 12.5Gbps 2 × 2 crosspoint switch IC for high-speed serial data loopback,
redundancy, and switching applications. The MAX3841
current-mode logic (CML) inputs and outputs have isolated VCC connections to enable DC-coupled interfaces
to 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V CML ICs. Fully differential signal
paths and Maxim’s second-generation SiGe technology
provide optimum signal integrity, minimizing jitter,
crosstalk, and signal skew. The MAX3841 is ideal for
serial OC-192 and 10GbE optical module, line card,
switch fabric, and similar applications.
The MAX3841 has 150mVP-P minimum differential input
sensitivity, and 500mVP-P nominal differential output
swing. Unused outputs can be powered down individually to conserve power. In addition to functioning as a 2
× 2 switch, the MAX3841 can be configured as a 2:1
multiplexer, 1:2 buffer, or dual 1:1 buffer. The MAX3841
is available in a 4mm × 4mm 24-pin thin QFN package,
and consumes only 215mW with both outputs enabled.

Detailed Description
The MAX3841 contains a pair of CML inputs that drive
two 2:1 multiplexers, with separate select inputs SEL1
and SEL2, providing a 2 × 2 crosspoint data path. The
outputs of the multiplexers each drive a high-performance CML output that can be disabled (powered
down) using the ENO1/ENO2 inputs. All of the data
paths are fully differential to minimize jitter, crosstalk,
and signal skew. See Figure 1 for the functional diagram.
The CML inputs accept serial NRZ data with differential
amplitude from 150mVP-P to 1200mVP-P (see Figure 2).
The CML outputs provide 500mVP-P nominal differential
swing, resulting in low power consumption.

CML Input and Output Buffers
The MAX3841 input and output buffers are terminated
with 50Ω to independent supply lines, and are also compatible with 100Ω differential terminations. (See Figures 3
and 4.) Separate power-supply connections are provided
for the core, input buffers, and output buffers to allow DCcoupling to 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V CML ICs. If desired, the
CML inputs and outputs can be AC-coupled.

Applications Information
Select and Enable Controls
The MAX3841 provides two LVCMOS-compatible
select inputs, SEL1 and SEL2. Either data input can be
connected to either or both data outputs. The MAX3841
provides two LVCMOS-compatible enable inputs,
ENO1 and ENO2, so each output can be disabled
independently. The MAX3841 can also be used as a
1:2 driver, 2:1 multiplexer, or a dual 1:1 buffer by using
the LVCMOS control inputs accordingly (see Table 1).

Power-Supply Connections
IN_+
Each of the input and output power-supply connections
(VCC1IN, VCC2IN, VCC1OUT, VCC2OUT) is independent and need not be connected to the same voltage.
The input and output supplies can be connected to
1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V, but the core supply (VCC) must be
connected to 3.3V for proper operation.

Input and Output Interfaces
The MAX3841 inputs and outputs can be AC-coupled
or DC-coupled according to the application. If an input
or output is not used it should be terminated with 50Ω
to the correct input or output supply voltage. For more
information about interfacing with logic families, refer to
Application Note 291: HFAN-01.0: Introduction to
LVDS, PECL, and CML.

Package and Layout Considerations
The MAX3841 is packaged in a 4mm × 4mm 24-pin thin
QFN with exposed pad. The exposed pad provides
thermal and electrical connectivity to the IC and must
be soldered to a high-frequency ground plane. Use
multiple vias to connect the exposed pad underneath
the package to the PC board ground plane.
Use good layout techniques for the 10Gbps PC board
transmission lines, and configure the layout near the IC to
minimize impedance discontinuities. Power-supply
decoupling capacitors should be located as close as
possible to the IC.
