LVDS IN SOT23 ACHIEVES 250ps FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AND SPEED
Note to Editors: These products are noteworthy because (1) they are the industry’s lowest pulse skew LVDS line drivers and receivers, and (2) they are Maxim’s first products in the general-purpose LVDS market. Their exceptional switching performance enables high-speed applications, especially in high-resolution imaging applications such as laser printers and digital copiers.
SUNNYVALE, CA—August 15, 2000—Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX9110–MAX9113 low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) line drivers and receivers for high-speed applications requiring minimum power, space, and noise. The MAX9110 and MAX9112 drivers deliver less than 250ps output pulse skew, maximizing imaging resolution and speed in printers and copiers, including those that employ dithering and grey-scale techniques to enhance image quality. This low-distortion switching performance enables data rates exceeding 500Mbps, making these products also ideal for signal and clock distribution in networking and telecom applications.
The MAX9110 and MAX9112 are a single and dual transmitter respectively, while the MAX9111 and MAX9113 are a single and dual receiver. All devices operate from a single +3.3V supply, conform to the EIA/TIA-644 LVDS standards, and feature the low-power and low-EMI benefits of LVDS (31mW power consumption for the dual-channel MAX9112 and a 350mV differential output voltage swing for all devices).
This product family is a pin-compatible, plug-in upgrade to the National Semiconductor DS90LV017/018/027/028. All devices are available in standard 8-pin SO packages, but are also offered in tiny 8-pin SOT23 packages (less than 43% the footprint of SO) for applications requiring minimum space and PCB cost. Prices start at $0.81 for the MAX9110 and MAX9111 and $1.78 for the MAX9112 and MAX9113 (1000-up, FOB USA).
