Datasheet
General Description
The MAX9375 is a fully differential, high-speed, any-
thing-to-LVPECL translator designed for signal rates up
to 2GHz. The MAX9375’s extremely low propagation
delay and high speed make it ideal for various high-
speed network routing and backplane applications.
The MAX9375 accepts any differential input signal within
the supply rails and with minimum amplitude of 100mV.
Inputs are fully compatible with the LVDS, LVPECL,
HSTL, and CML differential signaling standards. Outputs
are LVPECL and have sufficient current to drive 50Ω
transmission lines.
The MAX9375 is available in an 8-pin µMAX package
and operates from a single +3.3V supply over the -40°C
to +85°C temperature range.
