MAX9153

The MAX9153/MAX9154 low-jitter, low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) repeaters are ideal for applications that require high-speed data or clock distribution while minimizing power, space, and noise. The devices accept a single LVDS input (MAX9153) or single LVPECL input (MAX9154) and repeat the signal at 10 LVDS outputs. Each differential output drives 100Ω, allowing point-to-point distribution of signals on transmission lines with 100Ω termination at the receiver input.

Ultra-low 90ps_P-P (max) added deterministic jitter and 1ps_RMS (max) added random jitter ensure reliable communication in high-speed links that are highly sensitive to timing error, especially those incorporating clock-and-data recovery or serializers and deserializers. The high-speed switching performance guarantees 800Mbps data rate and less than 60ps (max) skew between channels while operating from a single +3.3V supply.

Supply current at 800Mbps is 118mA and reduces to 2µA in power-down mode. LVDS inputs and outputs conform to the ANSI/EIA/TIA -644 standard. A fail-safe feature on the MAX9153 sets the output high when the input is undriven and open, terminated, or shorted. The MAX9153/MAX9154 are available in a 28-pin TSSOP package and are specified for the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.

Refer to the MAX9150 data sheet for a pin-compatible 10-port LVDS repeater capable of driving a double-terminated (50Ω) LVDS link.

Refer to the MAX9110/MAX9112 and MAX9111/MAX9113 data sheets for LVDS line drivers and receivers.
