Operation
MAX9401/MAX9404
The MAX9401/MAX9404 are extremely fast and low-
skew quad ECL/PECL differential buffers/receivers for
data and clock signals. The four channels can be oper-
ated synchronously with an external clock, or in asyn-
chronous mode, determined by the state of the SEL
input. An enable input provides the ability to force all
the outputs to a differential low state.
The MAX9401 has high-impedance (open) input and
the MAX9404 has an integrated 100Ω differential input
termination, which reduces external component count.
Both devices have double amplitude swing open emit-
ter outputs suitable for driving long cables. The
MAX9401/MAX9404 operate over a V
CC
- V
EE
= +3.0V
to +5.5V supply range, and are specified for operation
from -40°C to +85°C. These devices are offered in
space-saving 32-pin 5mm x 5mm QFN exposed-paddle
(EP) and TQFP packages.

Detailed Description
The MAX9401/MAX9404 are extremely fast, low-skew
quad ECL/PECL buffers/receivers designed for high-
speed data and clock driver applications. These
devices feature ultra-low propagation delay of 365ps
and channel-to-channel skew of 15ps in asynchronous
mode with 84mA supply current, making them ideal for
driving long cables and double termination applications
(Functional
Diagram).
The four channels can be operated synchronously with
an external clock, or in asynchronous mode, deter-
mined by the state of the SEL input. An enable input
provides the ability to force all the outputs to a differen-
tial low state.
Data Input Termination
Figure 1 shows the input and output configuration of
the MAX9401/MAX9404. The MAX9401 has high-
impedance inputs and requires external termination.
The MAX9404 has integrated 100Ω differential input
termination resistors across each of the four inputs (IN_
to
IN_),
reducing external component count.
Outputs
The MAX9401/MAX9404 have double-swing open-emit-
ter outputs as shown in Figure 1. The double-amplitude
swing outputs can drive double-terminated links or long
