Datasheet

General Description
The MAX9176/MAX9177 are 670MHz, low-jitter, low-
skew 2:1 multiplexers ideal for protection switching,
loopback, and clock distribution. The devices feature
ultra-low 68ps peak-to-peak deterministic jitter that
ensures reliable operation in high-speed links that are
highly sensitive to timing errors.
The MAX9176 has fail-safe LVDS inputs and an LVDS
output. The MAX9177 has “anything” differential inputs
(CML/LVDS/LVPECL) and an LVDS output. The output
can be put into high impedance using the power-down
input. The MAX9176 features fail-safe circuits that drive
the output high when a selected input is open, undriven
and shorted, or undriven and terminated. The MAX9177
has bias circuits that force the output high when a
selected input is open. The mux select and power-
down inputs are compatible with standard LVTTL/
LVCMOS logic.
The select and power-down inputs tolerate undershoot
of -1V and overshoot of V
CC
+ 1V. The MAX9176/
MAX9177 are available in 10-pin µMAX and 10-lead
thin QFN packages, and operate from a single 3.3V
supply over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
