Frequently Asked Questions
What data rates does the MAX3873AETP+ support for optical networking?
The MAX3873AETP+ supports 2.5 Gbps and 2.7 Gbps data rates, making it suitable for SONET/SDH OC-48 and Gigabit Ethernet fiber-optic receiver designs requiring integrated clock recovery and data retiming on a single IC.
Which optical transceiver designs benefit most from the MAX3873AETP+ clock recovery IC?
Optical transceiver modules operating at 2.5 Gbps benefit significantly from the MAX3873AETP+, as its compact QFN package and low-power design allow integration into space-constrained SFP and SFF module form factors with minimal thermal dissipation requirements.
When is the MAX3873AETP+ a better fit than discrete clock-recovery solutions for a 2.5 Gbps receiver?
The MAX3873AETP+ replaces multi-chip discrete solutions by integrating clock recovery and data retiming in a single QFN device, reducing board area by several square millimeters and simplifying layout for high-speed 2.5 Gbps signal paths in compact networking line cards.
