MAX9174EUB+

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The MAX9174EUB+ is a 670MHz, low-jitter, low-skew 1:2 splitter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from a single +3.3V supply (3.0V to 3.6V) and features LVDS fail-safe inputs with LVDS outputs. The device supports a maximum data rate of 800Mbps and switching frequency of 670MHz. Key electrical parameters include a maximum differential output voltage of 475mV, typical propagation delay of 2.39ns, and maximum added deterministic jitter of 80ps (P-P). Supply current ranges from 17mA to 35mA depending on the operating mode.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Feature Summary

• Ultra-low jitter performance with 1.0ps RMS random jitter and 80ps P-P deterministic jitter at maximum speeds.
• Integrated fail-safe circuitry that drives outputs high when the input is open, undriven, or shorted.
• Power-down inputs compatible with standard LVTTL/LVCMOS logic, tolerating undershoot of -1V and overshoot of VCC + 1V.
• High ESD protection rating conforming to IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 standards.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Applications

• Protection switching
• Loopback configurations
• Clock distribution systems

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm the package type matches the 10-pin µMAX specification and ensure the temperature range meets the -40°C to +85°C requirement for your specific application environment.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select the MAX9174EUB+ when LVDS fail-safe functionality is required to handle open or shorted input conditions. Ensure the system design accommodates the 10-pin µMAX package dimensions and provides adequate power-supply bypassing with ceramic capacitors close to the VCC pin.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX9174/MAX9175 family of 1:2 splitters designed for high-speed signal distribution. While the MAX9174 variant includes fail-safe inputs, the MAX9175 offers an 'anything' input capability accepting CML, LVDS, or LVPECL signals. Both share similar output characteristics and packaging options.
