Single LVDS/Anything-to-LVPECL Translator
General Description
The MAX9375 is a fully differential, high-speed, any-
thing-to-LVPECL translator designed for signal rates up
to 2GHz. The MAX9375’s extremely low propagation
delay and high speed make it ideal for various high-
speed network routing and backplane applications.
The MAX9375 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. Outputs
are LVPECL and have sufficient current to drive 50Ω
transmission lines.
The MAX9375 is available in an 8-pin µMAX package
and operates from a single +3.3V supply over the -40°C
to +85°C temperature range.

The MAX9375 is a fully differential, high-speed, any-
thing-to-LVPECL translator designed for signal rates up
to 2GHz. The MAX9375’s extremely low propagation
delay and high speed make it ideal for various high-

The MAX9375 accepts any differential input signals
within the supply rails and with a minimum amplitude of

LVPECL, HSTL, and CML differential signaling stan-
dards. Outputs are LVPECL and have sufficient current

Inputs
Inputs have a wide common-mode range of 0.05V to
(V
CC
- 0.05V), which accommodates any differential
signals within rails, and requires a minimum of 100mV
to switch the outputs. This allows the MAX9375 inputs
to support virtually any differential signaling standard.
LVPECL Outputs
The MAX9375 outputs are emitter followers that require
external resistive paths to a voltage source (V
T
= V
CC
- 2.0V typ) more negative than worst-case V
OL
for proper
static and dynamic operation. When properly terminat-
ed, the outputs generate steady-state voltage levels,
V
OL
or V
OH
with fast transition edges between state
levels. Output current always flows into the termination
during proper operation.

Applications Information
Output Termination
Terminate the outputs with 50Ω to (V
CC
- 2V) or use
equivalent Thevenin terminations. Terminate OUT and
OUT
with identical termination on each for low-output
distortion. When a single-ended signal is taken from the
differential output, terminate both OUT and
OUT.
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.

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 reduc-
ing signal reflections and skew, and increasing com-
mon-mode noise immunity.
Signal reflections are caused by discontinuities in the
50Ω characteristic impedance of the traces. Avoid dis-
continuities by maintaining the distance between differ-
ential 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.
