1.0GHz LVPECL-TO-LVDS TRANSLATORS
SUNNYVALE, CA-February 25, 2002-Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX9374/MAX9374A , the fastest members of the Maxim LVPECL-to-LVDS (low-voltage differential signaling) translator family. The MAX9374/MAX9374A are single-channel LVPECL-to-LVDS translators, accept LVPECL differential signals and translate to LVDS, and the differential output voltage conforms to the ANSI TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard. Inherent low-jitter performance (1.0ps) is ideal for clock and data distribution in automatic test equipment, central office switches, networking switches and routers, and SONET/SDH communication applications where signal and clock integrity is critical.
The MAX9374 is designed for low-voltage operation from a 2.375V to 2.625V power supply for use in 2.5V systems, whereas the MAX9374A is designed for 3.0V to 3.6V operation in systems with a nominal 3.3V supply. The VOD output differential voltage is greater than 250mV at 1.0GHz and is specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range. Both devices are available in 8-pin SO and SOT23 packages. The thermally enhanced 8-pin SOT23 package offers a 70% size reduction over the industry-standard SO.
Refer to the MAX9374/MAX9374A data sheet for SO and SOT23 packages. Prices start at $4.87 (1000-up, FOB USA).
