General Description
The MAX4951BE dual-channel buffer is ideal to redrive
serial ATA (SATA) I, SATA II, and SATA III signals and
features high electrostatic discharge (ESD) Q8kV Human
Body Model (HBM) protection. The MAX4951BE can be
placed nearly anywhere on the motherboard to over-
come board losses and produce an eSATA-compatible
signal level. This device is SATA specification v.2.6 (gold
standard)-compliant, while overcom ing losses in the
PCB and eSATA connector.
The MAX4951BE features very low standby current for
power-sensitive applications. This device features hard-
ware SATA-drive cable detection, keeping the power low
in standby mode. The device also features an indepen-
dent channel, dynamic power-down mode where power
consumption is reduced when no input signal is present.
The MAX4951BE preserves signal integrity at the receiv-
er by reestablishing full output levels and can reduce
the total system jitter (TJ) by providing input equaliza-
tion. This device features channel-independent digital
preemphasis 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 OOB signal detection on the inputs and squelch
on the corresponding outputs. Inputs and outputs are all
internally 50I terminated and must be AC-coupled to the
SATA controller IC and SATA device.
The MAX4951BE 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 0NC to +70NC operating
temperature range.

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.
