MAX14986ETI+ SATA Revision 3.0

As a SATA Redriver, the MAX14986 meets the Revision 3.0 requirements.

MAX14986 Jitter Specifications

The max Deterministic Jitter specification in the MAX14986 datasheet is maximum jitter (23ps) added by the re-driver under the worst-case voltage supply and temperature conditions. This is not a maximum "input jitter" limit. Some source drivers include an output jitter specification in terms of unit interval, for example 0.15UI. This jitter is normal, and along with board losses, connector losses and cable losses factored in can be much higher than the 23ps (max) added jitter from the MAX14986. The MAX14986 input equalization can be used to compensate for losses and help reduce jitter at the output of the re-driver.
