Designers of datacomm and telecomm equipment are expected to be the main users of S2091, a low-power, bipolar, port bypass circuit that supports 2.5-, 2.1- and 1.5-Gbps data rates. The chip boasts of a fully differential signal path to minimize jitter accumulation, requires only a 3.3V supply, and is housed in a compact 20-pin TSSOP package. It also reduces trace length to minimize EMI and further ensure communications integrity.
