Datasheet
General Description
The MAX9376 is a fully differential, high-speed, LVDS/
anything-to-LVPECL/LVDS dual translator designed
for signal rates up to 2GHz. One channel is LVDS/
anything-to-LVPECL translator and the other channel
is LVDS/anything-to-LVDS translator. The MAX9376’s
extremely low propagation delay and high speed make
it ideal for various high-speed network routing and back-
plane applications.
The MAX9376 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. LVPECL
outputs have sufficient current to drive 50Ω transmission
lines. LVDS outputs conform to the ANSI EIA/TIA-644
LVDS standard.
The MAX9376 is available in a 10-pin µMAX
®
package
and operates from a single +3.3V supply over the -40°C
to +85°C temperature range.
