MAX9321BESA+T

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The MAX9321BESA+T is a single-channel clock and data driver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It supports differential input and output configurations with ECL, PECL, LVECL, and LVPECL compatibility. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 5.5V and achieves a maximum frequency of 3 GHz. Designed for surface mount applications, it is housed in an 8-SOIC package (0.154 inch width). The component functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm tape and reel packaging details. Ensure the selected variant matches the required 8-SOIC physical dimensions and thermal characteristics for the intended PCB layout.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel driver supporting multiple ECL-family logic levels is required. Confirm that the system power supply falls within the 3V to 5.5V range and that the 8-SOIC footprint accommodates the 3.90mm width constraint.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated high-speed driver portfolio. It serves as a buffer solution for translating between various low-voltage ECL standards. The device is distinct from operational amplifiers or ADCs in the same manufacturer lineup due to its specialized clock routing function.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference guides for verified substitutes. Ensure any replacement maintains the 3 GHz frequency capability and compatible ECL/PECL input/output specifications.
