MAX9174EUB+T

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Overview

The MAX9174EUB+T is a 670MHz, low-jitter, low-skew 1:2 splitter designed for LVDS signal distribution. It operates from a single +3.3V supply (3.0V to 3.6V) and supports data rates up to 800Mbps. The device features ultra-low jitter of 1.0ps RMS random and 80ps peak-to-peak deterministic jitter. Propagation delay ranges from 1.33ns to 3.23ns with output-to-output skew under 45ps. It includes fail-safe inputs for the MAX9174 variant and power-down controls compatible with LVTTL/LVCMOS logic.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Feature Summary

• Ultra-low jitter performance ensures reliable operation in high-speed links sensitive to timing errors
• Integrated fail-safe circuit drives outputs high when input is open or undriven
• Power-down inputs tolerate voltage undershoot of -1.0V and overshoot of VCC + 1.0V
• Complies with ANSI TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD rating

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Applications

• Protection switching
• Loopback configurations
• Clock and signal distribution

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging rather than tube. Confirm the manufacturer designation matches Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance standards as specified in the datasheet documentation.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Selection Notes

Select the MAX9174 variant for applications requiring LVDS inputs with fail-safe functionality. Choose the MAX9175 if the input source utilizes CML, LVDS, or LVPECL signaling without needing fail-safe protection. Both variants share identical output characteristics and package options.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX9174/MAX9175 family of 670MHz LVDS splitters. It serves as a buffer and repeater for differential signals, converting a single input into two synchronized outputs while maintaining signal integrity across industrial temperature ranges.
