GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8122 is a triple, high speed, differential receiver and
equalizer that compensates for the transmission losses of UTP
and coaxial cables up to 300 meters in length. Various gain
stages are summed together to best approximate the inverse
frequency response of the cable. Each channel features a high
impedance differential input that is ideal for interfacing directly
with the cable.
The AD8122 has two control inputs for optimal cable
compensation, one LPF control input, an input to select
between UTP and coax cable, and an output offset adjust input.
The cable compensation inputs are used to compensate for
different cable lengths; the V

For added flexibility, the gains of each channel can be set to x1

The AD8122 is available in a 6 mm × 6 mm, 40-lead LFCSP and
is rated to operate over the extended temperature range of
−40°C to +85°C.
