MAX9406ETJ+T

Video Processing Overview

The MAX9406ETJ+T is a high-speed, low-skew quad differential input to current-mode logic translator designed for DisplayPort to HDMI signal conversion. It operates from a 3V to 3.6V core supply and supports typical data rates of 2Gbps. The device features an ultra-low propagation delay of 350ps and channel-to-channel skew of less than 20ps. It provides bidirectional level shifting for DDC and HPD signals between 5V and 3.3V logic levels. The component is housed in a 32-pin, 5mm x 5mm thin QFN package with an exposed paddle.

Video Processing Feature Summary

• High-speed signal conversion for DisplayPort to HDMI technology
• Bidirectional level shifting for DDC and HPD signals between 5V and 3.3V logic
• Integrated 50Ω input terminations and biasing
• Low jitter performance with deterministic and random components

Video Processing Applications

• Level conversion for DP to HDMI interfaces
• Data and clock driver and buffer applications
• Backplane data and clock distribution systems
• Base station equipment
• Automated test equipment (ATE)

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '+T' corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging configuration required for your assembly process. Confirm that the 32-pin TQFN-EP package dimensions align with your PCB footprint design. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance standards if mandated by your manufacturing regulations. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to confirm pinout consistency before finalizing procurement orders.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing DisplayPort sources with HDMI sinks requiring precise signal translation. The integrated input termination simplifies board layout by eliminating external resistors. Consider the 32-pin package size for space-constrained designs compared to the 48-pin alternative. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C suits your environmental conditions.

Video Processing Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX9406 series of video interface translators manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. It serves as a bridge between DisplayPort and HDMI/DVI technologies. The ETJ variant specifically denotes the 32-pin Thin QFN package option within the product family.

Video Processing Replacement Considerations

The MAX9406ETM+ is a compatible alternative offering identical functionality but housed in a 48-pin Thin QFN package. Verify pin compatibility and mechanical fit before substituting, as the pin count and package dimensions differ significantly between the two options.
