MAX9376
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.

Detailed 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 a 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.
Inputs
Inputs have a wide common-mode range of 0.05V to
VCC - 0.05V, which accommodates any differential signals within rails, and requires a minimum of 100mV to
switch the outputs. This allows the MAX9376 inputs to
support virtually any differential signaling standard.
LVPECL Outputs
The MAX9376 LVPECL outputs are emitter followers
that require external resistive paths to a voltage source
(VT = VCC - 2.0V typ) more negative than worst-case
VOL for proper static and dynamic operation. When
properly terminated, the outputs generate steady-state
voltage levels, VOL or VOH with fast transition edges
between state levels. Output current always flows into
the termination during proper operation.
LVDS Outputs
The MAX9376 LVDS outputs require a resistive load to
terminate the signal and complete the transmission
loop. Because the device switches current and not voltage, the actual output voltage swing is determined by
the value of the termination resistor. With a 3.5mA typical output current, the MAX9376 produces an output
voltage of 350mV when driving a 100Ω load.

Terminate the MAX9376 LVPECL outputs with 50Ω to
(VCC - 2V) or use equivalent Thevenin terminations.
Terminate OUT1 and OUT1 with identical termination
on each for low output distortion. When a single-ended
signal is taken from the differential output, terminate
both OUT1 and OUT1.
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.

The MAX9376 LVDS outputs are current-steering
devices; no output voltage is generated without a termination resistor. The termination resistors should match
the differential impedance of the transmission line.
Output voltage levels are dependent upon the value of
the termination resistor. The MAX9376 is optimized for
point-to-point interface with 100Ω termination resistors
at the receiver inputs. Termination resistance values
may range between 90Ω and132Ω, depending on the
characteristic impedance of the transmission medium.
Supply Bypassing
Bypass VCC to ground with 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.

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.
