MAX9370EUA+

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MAX9370EUA+ is a dual LVTTL/TTL-to-differential LVPECL/PECL translator manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 5.25V and supports frequencies exceeding 1GHz with a typical propagation delay of 270ps. The device features a differential output swing of 600mV, output-to-output skew of 10ps, and ESD protection greater than 2kV (Human Body Model). It functions in an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes an 8-pin µMAX package.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Translates LVTTL or TTL input signals into differential LVPECL or PECL outputs for high-speed communication applications
• Supports operating frequencies exceeding 1GHz with low propagation delay characteristics
• Outputs default to a high state when inputs are disconnected due to internal pullup circuitry
• Includes ESD protection rated above 2kV under the Human Body Model standard

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Precision clock and data level translation
• Central office clock distribution systems
• DSLAM/DLC infrastructure
• Base station equipment
• Mass storage devices

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific component matches the MAX9370EUA+ designation, ensuring it corresponds to the µMAX package variant rather than SOT23 or SO versions. Confirm the manufacturer is Analog Devices Inc. or Maxim Integrated. Check datasheet specifications against system requirements for supply voltage limits and thermal performance. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to the project constraints.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing between LVTTL/TTL logic sources and LVPECL/PECL receivers requiring high-speed signal integrity. Consider the wide supply voltage range suitable for 3.3V or 5.0V systems. Evaluate the need for dual channels versus single-channel alternatives like the MAX9371 based on layout density and pin count requirements.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX9370/MAX9371/MAX9372 family of translators designed for high-speed communication signal and clock driver applications. While the MAX9371 offers a single channel and the MAX9372 is optimized for lower voltage ranges, the MAX9370 provides dual channels with industry-standard flow-through pinouts across various package options including SOT23, µMAX, and SO.
