The MAX9326 low-skew, 1:9 differential driver features
extremely low output-to-output skew (50ps max) and
part-to-part skew (225ps max). These features make
the device ideal for clock and data distribution across a
backplane or board. The device repeats an HSTL or
LVECL/LVPECL differential input at nine differential outputs. Outputs are compatible with LVECL and LVPECL,
and directly drive 50Ω terminated transmission lines.
The differential inputs can be configured to accept a
single-ended signal when the unused complementary
input is connected to the on-chip reference output voltage V
BB.
All inputs have internal pulldown resistors to
V
EE.
The internal pulldowns and a fail-safe circuit
ensure differential low default outputs when the inputs
are left open or at VEE.
The MAX9326 operates over a +2.375V to +3.8V supply
range for interfacing to differential HSTL and LVPECL
signals. This allows high-performance clock or data distribution in systems with a nominal +2.5V or +3.3V supply. For LVECL operation, the device operates with a
-2.375V to -3.8V supply.
The MAX9326 is offered in 28-lead PLCC and spacesaving 28-lead QFN packages. The MAX9326 is specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C.

1:9 Differential LVPECL/LVECL/HSTL Clock and
Data Driver
The MAX9326 low-skew, 1:9 differential driver features
extremely low output-to-output skew (50ps max) and partto-part skew (225ps max). These features make the
device ideal for clock and data distribution across a
backplane or board. The device repeats an HSTL or
LVECL/LVPECL differential input at nine differential outputs. Outputs are compatible with LVECL and LVPECL,
and can directly drive 50Ω terminated transmission lines.
The differential inputs (CLK, CLK) can be configured to
accept a single-ended signal when the unused complementary input is connected to the on-chip reference
output voltage (VBB). A single-ended input of at least
VBB±95mV or a differential input of at least 95mV
switches the outputs to the VOHand VOLlevels specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics. The maximum
magnitude of the differential input from CLK to CLK is±3.0V or ±(VCC- VEE), whichever is less. This limit also
applies to the difference between a single-ended input
and any reference voltage input.
All the differential inputs have 105kΩ pulldowns to VEE.
Internal pulldowns and a fail-safe circuit ensure differential low default outputs when the inputs are left open
or at VEE.
Specifications for the high and low voltages of a differential input (V
IHD
and V
ILD
) and the differential input
voltage (V
IHD
- V
ILD
) apply simultaneously.
For interfacing to differential HSTL and LVPECL signals,
these devices operate over a 2.375V to 3.8V supply
range, allowing high-performance clock or data distribution in systems with a nominal 2.5V or 3.3V supply. For
differential LVECL operation, these devices operate
from a -2.375V to -3.8V supply.
Single-Ended Operation
The differential inputs (CLK, CLK) can be configured to
accept single-ended inputs when operating at supply
voltages greater than 2.58V. The recommended supply
voltage for single-ended operation is 3.0V to 3.8V. A differential input is configured for single-ended operation
by connecting the on-chip reference voltage, VBB, to an
unused complementary input as a reference. For example, the differential CLK, CLK input is converted to a noninverting, single-ended input by connecting VBBto CLK
and connecting the single-ended input to CLK. Similarly,
an inverting input is obtained by connecting V
BB
to CLK
and connecting the single-ended input to CLK. With a
differential input configured as single ended (using VBB),
the single-ended input can be driven to VCCor VEEor
with a single-ended LVPECL/LVECL signal.

MAX9326
1:9 Differential LVPECL/LVECL/HSTL Clock and
Data Driver
When configuring a differential input as a single-ended
input, a user must ensure that the supply voltage (VCCVEE) is greater than 2.58V. This is because the input high
minimum level must be at (VEE+ 1.2V) or higher for proper operation. The reference voltage VBBmust be at least
(VEE+ 1.2V) or higher for the same reason because it
becomes the high-level input when the other singleended input swings below it. The minimum VBBoutput for
the MAX9326 is (VCC- 1.38V). Substituting the minimum
VBBoutput for (VBB= VEE+ 1.2V) results in a minimum
supply (V
CC
- VEE) of 2.58V. Rounding up to standard
supplies gives the single-ended operating supply ranges
(VCC- VEE) of 3.0V to 3.8V for the MAX9326.
When using the VBBreference output, bypass it with a
0.01µF ceramic capacitor to VCC. If not used, leave it
open. The VBBreference can source or sink 0.5mA,
which is sufficient to drive two inputs.
Applications Information
Output Termination
Terminate the outputs through 50Ω to VCC- 2V or use
equivalent Thevenin terminations. Terminate each Q and
Q output with identical termination on each for the lowest
output distortion. When a single-ended signal is taken
from the differential output, terminate both Q_ and Q_.
Ensure that output currents do not exceed the current
limits as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Under all operating conditions, the device’s total thermal limits should be observed.
Supply Bypassing
Bypass each VCCto VEEwith high-frequency surfacemount ceramic 0.1µF and 0.01µF capacitors. Place the
capacitors as close to the device as possible with the
0.01µF capacitor closest to the device pins.
Use multiple vias when connecting the bypass capacitors to ground. When using the VBBreference output,
bypass it with a 0.01µF ceramic capacitor to VCC. If the
V
BB
reference is not used, it can be left open.
Traces
Circuit board trace layout is very important to maintain
the signal integrity of high-speed differential signals.
Maintaining integrity is accomplished in part by reducing signal reflections and skew, and increasing common-mode noise immunity.
Signal reflections are caused by discontinuities in the
50Ω characteristic impedance of the traces. Avoid discontinuities by maintaining the distance between differential traces, not using sharp corners or using vias.
Maintaining distance between the traces also increases
common-mode noise immunity. Reducing signal skew
is accomplished by matching the electrical length of
the differential traces.
Exposed-Pad Package
The 28-lead QFN package (MAX9326EGI) has the
exposed paddle on the bottom of the package that provides the primary heat removal path from the IC to the
PC board, as well as excellent electrical grounding to
the PC board. The MAX9326EGI’s exposed pad is
internally connected to VEE. Do not connect the
exposed pad to a separate circuit ground plane
unless VEEand the circuit ground are the same.
