General Description
The MAX9376 is a fully differential, high-speed,
LVDS/anything-to-LVPECL/LVDS dual translator
designed for signal rates up to 2GHz. One channel is
LVDS/anything-to-LVPECL translator and the other
channel is LVDS/anything-to-LVDS translator. The
MAX9376’s extremely low propagation delay and high
speed make it ideal for various high-speed network
routing and backplane applications.
The MAX9376 accepts any differential input signal within the supply rails and with minimum amplitude of
100mV. Inputs are fully compatible with the LVDS,
LVPECL, HSTL, and CML differential signaling standards. LVPECL outputs have sufficient current to drive
50Ω transmission lines. LVDS outputs conform to the
ANSI EIA/TIA-644 LVDS standard.
The MAX9376 is available in a 10-pin µMAX
®
package
and operates from a single +3.3V supply over the -40°C
to +85°C temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
