MAXIM MAX4951CTP+

19-4178; Rev 0; 6/08
SATA I/SATA II Bidirectional Re-Driver
The MAX4951 dual-channel buffer is designed to re-drive
serial-ATA (SATA) I and SATA II signals and is functional
up to 6.0Gbps for next-generation data rates. The
MAX4951 can be placed near an eSATA connector to
overcome board losses and produce an eSATA-compatible signal level.
The MAX4951 preserves signal integrity at the receiver by
reestablishing full output levels, and can reduce the total
system jitter (TJ) by squaring up the signal. This device
features channel-independent digital boost controls to
drive SATA outputs over longer trace lengths, or to meet
eSATA specifications. SATA Out-Of-Band (OOB) signaling
is supported using high-speed amplitude detection on the
inputs, and squelch on the corresponding outputs. Inputs
and outputs are all internally 50Ω terminated and must be
AC-coupled to the SATA controller IC and SATA device.
The MAX4951 operates from a single +3.3V (typ) supply and is available in a small, 4mm x 4mm, TQFN
package with flow-through traces for ease of layout.
This device is specified over the 0°C to +70°C operating temperature range.
Features
o Single +3.3V (typ) Supply Operation
o Supports SATA I (1.5Gbps) and SATA II (3.0Gbps)
o Supports up to 6.0Gbps for Next-Generation

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Detailed Description
The MAX4951 consists of two identical buffers that take
SATA input signals and return them to full output levels.
This device functions up to 6.0Gbps for next-generation
SATA applications.
Input/Output Terminations
Inputs and outputs are internally 50Ω terminated to VCC
(see the Functional Diagram/Truth Table) and must be
AC-coupled to the SATA controller IC and SATA device
for proper operation.
Out-Of-Band Logic
The MAX4951 provides full Out-Of-Band (OOB) signal
support through high-speed amplitude detection circuitry. SATA OOB differential input signals of 50mVP-P
or less are detected as OFF and not passed to the output. This prevents the system from responding to
unwanted noise. SATA OOB differential input signals of
150mVP-P or more are detected as ON and passed to
the output. This allows OOB signals to transmit through
the MAX4951. The time for the amplitude detection circuit to detect an inactive SATA OOB input and squelch
the associated output, or detect an active SATA OOB
input and enable the output, is less than 5ns.
6
Enable Input
The MAX4951 features an active-high enable input (EN).
EN has an internal pulldown resistor of 70kΩ (typ). When
EN is driven low or left unconnected, the MAX4951
enters low-power standby mode and the buffers are disabled. Drive EN high for normal operation.
Output Boost Selection Inputs
The MAX4951 has two digital control logic inputs, BA
and BB. BA and BB have internal pulldown resistors of
70kΩ (typ). BA and BB control the boost level of their
corresponding buffers (see the Functional Diagram/
Truth Table). Drive BA or BB low or leave unconnected
for standard SATA output levels. Drive BA or BB high to
boost the output. The boosted output level compensates for attenuation from longer trace-length cables or
to meet eSATA specifications.
Applications Information
Figure 1 shows a typical application circuit with the
MAX4951 used to drive an eSATA output. The diagram
assumes that the MAX4951 is close to the SATA host
controller. BB is set low to drive standard SATA levels
to the host, and BA is set high to drive eSATA levels to
the device. If the MAX4951 is further from the controller,
set BB high to compensate for attenuation.

Exposed-Pad Package
Power-Supply Sequencing
The exposed-pad, 20-pin, TQFN package incorporates
features that provide a very low thermal-resistance path
for heat removal from the IC. The exposed pad on the
MAX4951 must be soldered to GND for proper thermal
and electrical performance. For more information on
exposed-pad packages, refer to Maxim Application
Note HFAN-08.1: Thermal Considerations of QFN and
Other Exposed-Paddle Packages.
Caution: Do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings because stresses beyond the listed ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device.
Proper power-supply sequencing is recommended for
all devices. Always apply VCC before applying signals,
especially if the signal is not current limited.
Layout
Use controlled-impedance transmission lines to interface with the MAX4951 high-speed inputs and outputs.
Place power-supply decoupling capacitors as close as
possible to VCC.
