MAX9115
General Description
The MAX9115 is a single low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) line receiver ideal for applications requiring
high data rates, low power, and low noise. The device
is guaranteed to receive data at speeds up to 200Mbps
(100MHz).
The MAX9115 accepts an LVDS differential input and
translates it to an LVTTL/LVCMOS output. The fail-safe
feature sets the output high when the inputs are undriven and open, terminated, or shorted. The device supports a wide common-mode input range, allowing a
ground potential difference and common-mode noise
between the driver and the receiver. The MAX9115
conforms to the ANSI TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard.
The MAX9115 operates from a single +3.3V supply,
and is specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C. It is
available in a space-saving 5-pin SC70 package. Refer
to the MAX9110/MAX9112 data sheet for single/dual
LVDS line drivers.

Detailed Description
LVDS is intended for point-to-point communication over
a controlled-impedance medium as defined by the
ANSI TIA/EIA-644 and IEEE 1596.3 standards. LVDS
uses a lower voltage swing than other common communication standards, achieving higher data rates with
reduced power consumption while reducing EMI emissions and system susceptibility to noise.
The MAX9115 is a single LVDS line receiver ideal for
applications requiring high data rates, low power, and
low noise. The device accepts an LVDS input and
translates it to an LVTTL/LVCMOS output. The receiver
detects differential signals as low as 50mV and as high
as 1V within an input voltage range of 0 to +2.4V.
The 250mV to 450mV differential output of an LVDS driver is nominally centered around a +1.25V offset. This
offset, coupled with the receiver’s 0 to +2.4V input voltage range, allows an approximate ±1V shift in the signal (as seen by the receiver). This allows for a
difference in ground references of the driver and the
receiver, the common-mode effects of coupled noise,
or both. The LVDS standards specify an input voltage
range of 0 to +2.4V referenced to receiver ground.
Fail-Safe
The fail-safe feature of the MAX9115 sets the output
high and reduces supply current when:
• inputs are open
• inputs are undriven and shorted
• inputs are undriven and terminated
A fail-safe circuit is important because under these
conditions, noise at the input may switch the receiver
and it may appear to the system that data is being
received. Open or undriven terminated input conditions
can occur when a cable is disconnected or cut, or
when an LVDS driver output is in high impedance. A
short condition can occur because of a cable failure.

Figure 2. Propagation Delay and Transition Time Test Circuit
The fail-safe input network (Figure 1) samples the input
common-mode voltage and compares it to VCC - 0.3V
(nominal). When the input is driven to levels specified in
the LVDS standards, the input common-mode voltage
is less than VCC - 0.3V and the fail-safe circuit is not
activated. If the inputs are open or if the inputs are
undriven and shorted or undriven and parallel terminated, there is no input current. In this case, a pullup resistor in the fail-safe circuit pulls both inputs above VCC 0.3V, activating the fail-safe circuit and forcing the output high.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Bypassing
Bypass V CC with a high-frequency surface-mount
ceramic 0.01µF capacitor in parallel as close to the
device as possible.

Differential Traces
Input trace characteristics affect the performance of the
MAX9115. Use controlled-impedance PC board traces,
typically 100Ω. Match the termination resistor to this
characteristic impedance.
Eliminate reflections and ensure that noise couples as
common mode by running the differential traces close
together. Reduce skew by matching the electrical
length of the traces. Excessive skew can result in a
degradation of magnetic field cancellation.
Input differential signals should be routed close to each
other to cancel their external magnetic field. Maintain a
constant distance between the differential traces to
avoid discontinuities in differential impedance. Minimize
the number of vias to further prevent impedance discontinuities.

Cables and Connectors
Transmission media should typically have a controlled
differential impedance of 100Ω. Use cables and connectors that have matched differential impedance to
minimize impedance discontinuities.
Avoid the use of unbalanced cables such as ribbon or
simple coaxial cable. Balanced cables such as twisted
pair offer superior signal quality and tend to generate
less EMI due to canceling effects. Balanced cables
tend to pick up noise as common mode, which is
rejected by the LVDS receiver.

Termination
IN-
The MAX9115 requires an external termination resistor.
The termination resistor should match the differential
impedance of the transmission line. Termination resistance is typically 100Ω but may range between 90Ω to
132Ω, depending on the characteristic impedance of
the transmission medium.
When using the MAX9115, minimize the distance
between the input termination resistor and the MAX9115
receiver inputs. Use 1% surface-mount resistors.
Board Layout
For LVDS applications, a four-layer PC board that provides separate layers, power, ground, and input/output
signals is recommended. Keep the LVDS input signals
away from the output LVCMOS/LVTTL signal to prevent
coupling (Figure 4). To minimize crosstalk, do not run
the output in parallel with the inputs. Extend the ground
pin trace under the package to the other side between
IN+ and OUT to provide isolation between IN+ and
OUT.
