MAX9169EUE

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The MAX9169EUE+ is a low-jitter, low-voltage differential LVDS repeater designed for high-speed data or clock distribution applications requiring minimal power consumption and size. It receives a single LVDS input and retransmits it as four LVDS outputs. The device supports data rates up to 630 Mbps with a propagation delay of 3.5 ns and a maximum clock frequency of 50 MHz. Operating on a single 3.3 V supply (range 3.0 V to 3.6 V), it draws a maximum supply current of 30 mA. Key electrical parameters include an input capacitance of 2.2 pF, output current of 4.5 mA, and power dissipation of 755 mW. It functions within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Feature Summary

• Ultra-low pulse skew of 150 ps maximum ensures reliable communication in timing-sensitive high-speed links.
• Additive system jitter is limited to 200 ps peak-to-peak at 630 Mbps, supporting serializers and deserializers.
• Safety fail circuit sets outputs high when the differential input is undriven, open, or shorted.
• Independent output enable pins allow precise control over signal transmission.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Applications

• Cellular phone base stations
• Add/drop multiplexers
• Backplane interconnects
• Clock distribution systems

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the component designation against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm the specific suffix indicates tube packaging versus tape-and-reel variants. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required package style and temperature grade before finalizing procurement specifications.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring point-to-point signal distribution with strict timing constraints. Verify that the load requirements align with the rated 10 pF output capability and that the 3.3 V supply voltage is stable within the specified operating range for optimal performance.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX9169/MAX9170 family of LVDS repeaters. It serves as an improved replacement for the SN65LVDS104, offering enhanced pulse skew performance while maintaining pin compatibility. The MAX9169 specifically handles LVDS inputs, distinguishing it from the LVTTL-input MAX9170 variant.
