19-2809; Rev 1; 10/09 LVDS/Anything-to-LVPECL/LVDS Dual Translator 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. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 5 MAX9376 Pin Description MAX9376 LVDS/Anything-to-LVPECL/LVDS Dual Translator Applications Information VCC LVPECL Output Termination VID VCM (MAX) VID VCM (MIN) 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 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. Traces Figure 2.

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. +VOD OR +(VOH - VOL) DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT WAVEFORM OUT - OUT 0V DIFFERENTIAL -VOD OR -(VOH - VOL) 20% tR 20% tF Figure 3.
