These features make the device ideal for clock and data distribution across a backplane or board. The device repeats an HSTL or LVECL/LVPECL differential input at nine differential outputs. Outputs are compatible with LVECL and LVPECL, and directly drive 50Ω terminated transmission lines. The differential inputs can be configured to accept a single-ended signal when the unused complementary input is connected to the on-chip reference output voltage VBB. All inputs have internal pulldown resistors to V EE. The internal pulldowns and a fail-safe circuit ensure differential low default outputs when the inputs are left open or at VEE. The MAX9326 operates over a +2.375V to +3.8V supply range for interfacing to differential HSTL and LVPECL signals. This allows high-performance clock or data distribution in systems with a nominal +2.5V or +3.3V supply. For LVECL operation, the device operates with a -2.375V to -3.8V supply.

Single-Ended Input (CLK, CLK) to Output (Q_, Q_) Delay Timing Diagram Detailed Description The MAX9326 low-skew, 1:9 differential driver features extremely low output-to-output skew (50ps max) and partto-part skew (225ps max). These features make the device ideal for clock and data distribution across a backplane or board. The device repeats an HSTL or LVECL/LVPECL differential input at nine differential outputs. Outputs are compatible with LVECL and LVPECL, and can directly drive 50Ω terminated transmission lines. The differential inputs (CLK, CLK) can be configured to accept a single-ended signal when the unused complementary input is connected to the on-chip reference output voltage (VBB). A single-ended input of at least V BB ±95mV or a differential input of at least 95mV switches the outputs to the VOH and VOL levels specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics. The maximum magnitude of the differential input from CLK to CLK is ±3.0V or ±(VCC - VEE), whichever is less. This limit also applies to the difference between a single-ended input and any reference voltage input. All the differential inputs have 105kΩ pulldowns to VEE. Internal pulldowns and a fail-safe circuit ensure differential low default outputs when the inputs are left open or at VEE. 8 Specifications for the high and low voltages of a differential input (VIHD and VILD) and the differential input voltage (VIHD - VILD) apply simultaneously. For interfacing to differential HSTL and LVPECL signals, these devices operate over a 2.375V to 3.8V supply range, allowing high-performance clock or data distribution in systems with a nominal 2.5V or 3.3V supply. For differential LVECL operation, these devices operate from a -2.375V to -3.8V supply. Single-Ended Operation The differential inputs (CLK, CLK) can be configured to accept single-ended inputs when operating at supply voltages greater than 2.58V. The recommended supply voltage for single-ended operation is 3.0V to 3.8V. A differential input is configured for single-ended operation by connecting the on-chip reference voltage, VBB, to an unused complementary input as a reference. For example, the differential CLK, CLK input is converted to a noninverting, single-ended input by connecting VBB to CLK and connecting the single-ended input to CLK. Similarly, an inverting input is obtained by connecting VBB to CLK and connecting the single-ended input to CLK. With a differential input configured as single ended (using VBB), the single-ended input can be driven to VCC or VEE or with a single-ended LVPECL/LVECL signal. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 1:9 Differential LVPECL/LVECL/HSTL Clock and Data Driver 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. Exposed-Pad Package The 28-lead QFN package (MAX9326EGI) has the exposed paddle on the bottom of the package that provides the primary heat removal path from the IC to the PC board, as well as excellent electrical grounding to the PC board. The MAX9326EGI’s exposed pad is internally connected to V EE. Do not connect the exposed pad to a separate circuit ground plane unless VEE and the circuit ground are the same. Applications Information Output Termination Terminate the outputs through 50Ω to VCC - 2V or use equivalent Thevenin terminations. Terminate each Q and Q output with identical termination on each for the lowest output distortion. When a single-ended signal is taken from the differential output, terminate both Q_ and Q_. Chip Information TRANSISTOR COUNT: 1030 PROCESS: Bipolar Functional Diagram 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. Q0 Q0 Q1 Supply Bypassing Bypass each VCC to VEE 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. Use multiple vias when connecting the bypass capacitors to ground. When using the VBB reference output, bypass it with a 0.01µF ceramic capacitor to VCC. If the VBB reference is not used, it can be left open. Q1 Q2 Q2 Q3 Q3 CLK Q4 CLK Q4 Traces 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. 105kΩ VEE Q5 Q5 Q6 Q6 Q7 Q7 Q8 Q8 _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX9326 When configuring a differential input as a single-ended input, a user must ensure that the supply voltage (VCC VEE) is greater than 2.58V. This is because the input high minimum level must be at (VEE + 1.2V) or higher for proper operation. The reference voltage VBB must be at least (VEE + 1.2V) or higher for the same reason because it becomes the high-level input when the other singleended input swings below it. The minimum VBB output for the MAX9326 is (VCC - 1.38V). Substituting the minimum VBB output for (VBB = VEE + 1.2V) results in a minimum supply (VCC - VEE) of 2.58V. Rounding up to standard supplies gives the single-ended operating supply ranges (VCC - VEE ) of 3.0V to 3.8V for the MAX9326. When using the VBB reference output, bypass it with a 0.01µF ceramic capacitor to VCC. If not used, leave it open. The VBB reference can source or sink 0.5mA, which is sufficient to drive two inputs.
