Detailed Description
The MAX9375 is a fully differential, high-speed, any-
thing-to-LVPECL translator designed for signal rates up
to 2GHz. The MAX9375’s extremely low propagation
delay and high speed make it ideal for various high-
speed network routing and backplane applications.
The MAX9375 accepts any differential input signals
within the supply rails and with a minimum amplitude of
100mV. Inputs are fully compatible with the LVDS,
LVPECL, HSTL, and CML differential signaling stan-
dards. Outputs are LVPECL and have sufficient current
to drive 50Ω transmission lines.
Inputs
Inputs have a wide common-mode range of 0.05V to
(V
CC
- 0.05V), which accommodates any differential
signals within rails, and requires a minimum of 100mV
to switch the outputs. This allows the MAX9375 inputs
to support virtually any differential signaling standard.
LVPECL Outputs
The MAX9375 outputs are emitter followers that require
external resistive paths to a voltage source (V
T
= V
CC
- 2.0V typ) more negative than worst-case V

for proper
static and dynamic operation. When properly terminat-
ed, the outputs generate steady-state voltage levels,

with fast transition edges between state
levels. Output current always flows into the termination
during proper operation.
