Note 1: Supply current measurements exclude I
BIAS
from the total current.
Note 2: AC characteristics guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 3: Measured by applying a pattern that contains 20µs of K28.5, followed by 5µs of zeros, then 20µs of K28.5, followed by 5µs
of ones. Data rate is equal to 2.5Gbps, with inputs filtered using 1.8GHz Bessel filters.
