General Description
The MAX9121/MAX9122 quad low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) differential line receivers are ideal for applications requiring high data rates, low power, and low
noise. The MAX9121/MAX9122 are guaranteed to receive
data at speeds up to 500Mbps (250MHz) over controlledimpedance media of approximately 100Ω. The transmission media may be printed circuit (PC) board traces or
cables.
The MAX9121/MAX9122 accept four LVDS differential
inputs and translate them to LVCMOS outputs. The
MAX9122 features integrated parallel termination resistors (nominally 107Ω), which eliminate the requirement
for four discrete termination resistors and reduce stub
lengths. The MAX9121 inputs are high impedance and
require an external termination resistor when used in a
point-to-point connection.
The devices support a wide common-mode input range of
0.05V to 2.35V, allowing for ground potential differences
and common-mode noise between the driver and the
receiver. A fail-safe feature sets the output high when the
inputs are open, or when the inputs are undriven and
shorted or parallel terminated. The EN and EN inputs control the high-impedance output. The enables are common
to all four receivers. Inputs conform to the ANSI TIA/EIA644 LVDS standard. Flow-through pinout simplifies PC
board layout and reduces crosstalk by separating the
LVDS inputs and LVCMOS outputs. The MAX9121/
MAX9122 operate from a single +3.3V supply, and are
specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C. These
devices are available in 16-pin TSSOP and SO packages.
Refer to the MAX9123 data sheet for a quad LVDS line driver with flow-through pinout.

Quad LVDS Line Receivers with

Detailed Description
The LVDS interface standard is a signaling method
intended for point-to-point communication over a controlled-impedance medium as defined by the ANSI
TIA/EIA-644 and IEEE 1596.3 standards. The LVDS standard uses a lower voltage swing than other common
communication standards, achieving higher data rates
with reduced power consumption while reducing EMI
emissions and system susceptibility to noise.
The MAX9121/MAX9122 are 500Mbps, four-channel
LVDS receivers intended for high-speed, point-to-point,
low-power applications. Each channel accepts an
LVDS input and translates it to an LVTTL/LVCMOS output. The receiver is capable of detecting differential
signals as low as 100mV and as high as 1V within an
input voltage range of 0 to 2.4V. The 250mV to 400mV
differential output of an LVDS driver is nominally centered around a +1.2V offset. This offset, coupled with
the receiver’s 0 to 2.4V input voltage range, allows an
approximate ±1V shift in the signal (as seen by the
receiver). This allows for a difference in ground refer-
ences of the transmitter and the receiver, the commonmode effects of coupled noise, or both. The LVDS standards specify an input voltage range of 0 to +2.4V
referenced to receiver ground.
The MAX9122 has an integrated termination resistor
that is internally connected across each receiver input.
The internal termination saves board space, eases layout, and reduces stub length compared to an external
termination resistor. In other words, the transmission
line is terminated on the IC.
Fail-Safe
The fail-safe feature of the MAX9121/MAX9122 sets an
output high when:
• Inputs are open.
• Inputs are undriven and shorted.
• Inputs are undriven and terminated.
A fail-safe circuit is important because under these
conditions, noise at the inputs may switch the receiver
and it may appear to the system that data is being

received. Open or undriven terminated input conditions
can occur when a cable is disconnected or cut, or
when the LVDS driver outputs are high impedance. A
short condition can occur because of a cable failure.
The fail-safe input network (Figure 1) samples the input
common-mode voltage and compares it to VCC- 0.3V
(nominal). When the input is driven to levels specified in
the LVDS standards, the input to the common-mode
voltage is less than VCC- 0.3V and the fail-safe circuit
is not activated. If the inputs are open or if the inputs
are undriven and shorted or undriven and parallel terminated, there is no input current. In this case, a pullup
resistor in the fail-safe circuit pulls both inputs above
VCC- 0.3V, activating the fail-safe circuit and forcing
the output high.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Bypassing
Bypass the VCCpin with high-frequency surface-mount
ceramic 0.1µF and 0.001µF capacitors in parallel as
close to the device as possible, with the smaller valued
capacitor closest to V
CC
.
Differential Traces
Input trace characteristics affect the performance of the
MAX9121/MAX9122. Use controlled-impedance PC
board traces to match the cable characteristic impedance. The termination resistor is also matched to this
characteristic impedance.
Eliminate reflections and ensure that noise couples as
common mode by running the differential traces close
together. Reduce skew by matching the electrical
length of the traces. Excessive skew can result in a
degradation of magnetic field cancellation.
Each channel’s differential signals should be routed
close to each other to cancel their external magnetic
field. Maintain a constant distance between the differential traces to avoid discontinuities in differential
impedance. Avoid 90° turns and minimize the number
of vias to further prevent impedance discontinuities.

Cables and Connectors
Transmission media typically have a controlled differential impedance of 100Ω. Use cables and connectors
that have matched differential impedance to minimize
impedance discontinuities.
Avoid the use of unbalanced cables such as ribbon or
simple coaxial cable. Balanced cables such as twisted
pair offer superior signal quality and tend to generate
less EMI due to magnetic field canceling effects.
Balanced cables pick up noise as common mode,
which is rejected by the LVDS receiver.
Termination
The MAX9122 has an integrated termination resistor
connected across the inputs of each receiver. The
value of the integrated resistor is specified in the DC
characteristics.
The MAX9121 requires an external termination resistor.
The termination resistor should match the differential
impedance of the transmission line. Termination resistance values may range between 90Ω to 132Ω,
depending on the characteristic impedance of the
transmission medium.
When using the MAX9121, minimize the distance
between the input termination resistors and the
MAX9121 receiver inputs. Use 1% surface-mount resistors.

Board Layout
Because the MAX9121/MAX9122 feature a flow-through
pinout, no special layout precautions are required.
Keep the LVDS and any other digital signals separated
from each other to reduce crosstalk.
For LVDS applications, a four-layer PC board that provides separate power, ground, LVDS signals, and input
signals is recommended. Isolate the input LVDS signals
from each other to prevent coupling. Isolate the output
LVCMOS/LVTTL signals from each other to prevent
coupling. Separate the input LVDS signals from the output signals planes with the power and ground planes
for best results.
