LOWEST SKEW QUAD 3.0GHz LVECL/LVPECL DRIVER/RECEIVERS WITH DOUBLE-SWING OUTPUT VOLTAGE
SUNNYVALE, CA-February 5, 2002-Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX9401/MAX9404, the latest members of the Maxim ECL/PECL family of line driver/receivers. These quad 3.0GHz LVECL/LVPECL line driver/receivers include double-swing output voltage levels and are designed for driving long or double-terminated lines to reduce reflection. The MAX9401/MAX9404 accept four differential LVECL/LVPECL inputs and can be operated synchronously with an external clock, or independently determined by the state of the SEL input. Integrated input and output termination reduces external component counts. The MAX9401 has open inputs and open-emitter outputs. The MAX9404 has 100Ω differential input impedance and open-emitter outputs. Inherent low channel-to-channel skew (40ps max) makes these parts ideal for clock and data distribution applications in automatic test equipment, central office switches, networking switches and routers, and SONET/SDH communication applications where signal and clock integrity is critical.
Specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C, the MAX9401/MAX9404 are designed to operate from a 3.0V to 5.5V supply in PECL systems and a -3.0V to -5.5V supply in ECL systems. They are available in 32-pin 5mm x 5mm TQFP and 5mm x 5mm thermally enhanced QFN packages. Prices start at $18.34 (1000-up, FOB USA).
