MAX9378EUA+

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MAX9378EUA+ is a fully differential, high-speed translator converting any input signal to LVDS. It operates on a single +3.0V to +3.6V supply within the -40°C to +85°C temperature range. The device supports switching frequencies up to 2.5 GHz in non-divide mode and accepts inputs with a minimum amplitude of 100mV. It features pin-selectable divide-by-four functionality, typical propagation delays of 363ps, maximum pulse skew of 30ps, and maximum random jitter of 2ps RMS.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Accepts any differential input signal compatible with LVDS, LVPECL, HSTL, or CML standards
• Outputs conform to the ANSI EIA/TIA-644 LVDS standard
• Includes a pin-selectable divide-by-four frequency divider function

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Backplane logic standard translation
• LAN routing
