–

External AGC capacitor.

Connect pin 5 and pin 6 together as shown in the Typical Application

Circuit on page 13.

7BYPASS

Not

Synchronous

Input

Forces the Equalizing and DC RESTORE stages into bypass mode when

HIGH. No equalization occurs in this mode.

MCLADJ

Analog

Input

Maximum cable length adjust.

Adjusts the approximate maximum amount of cable to be equalized

(from 0m to the maximum cable length). The output is muted (latched to

the last state) when the maximum cable length is achieved.

NOTE: MCLADJ is only recommended for data rates up to 360Mb/s. For

data rates above this, MCLADJ should be left floating.
