Differential LVPECL-to-LVDS Translators
General Description
The MAX9374 and MAX9374A are 2.0GHz differential
LVPECL-to-LVDS translators and are designed for tele-
com applications. They feature 250ps propagation
delay. The differential output conforms to the ANSI
TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard. The inputs are biased with
internal resistors such that the output is differential low
when inputs are open. An on-chip V
BB
reference output
is available for single-ended operation.
The MAX9374 is designed for low-voltage operation
from a 2.375V to 2.625V power supply for use in 2.5V
systems. The MAX9374A is designed for 3.0V to 3.6V
operation in systems with a nominal 3.3V supply. Both
devices are offered in industry-standard 8-pin SOT23
and SO packages.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

NAME
FUNCTION
Reference Output Voltage. Connect to the inverting or noninverting data input to provide a reference
for single-ended operation. When used, bypass with a 0.01µF ceramic capacitor to V
CC
; otherwise,
leave it open.
Ground. Provide a low-impedance connection to the ground plane.
Inverted LVPECL Data Input. 36.5kΩ pullup to V
CC
and 75kΩ pulldown to GND.
Noninverted LVPECL Data Input. 75kΩ pullup to V
CC
and 75kΩ pulldown to GND.
Positive Supply Voltage. Bypass V
CC
to GND with 0.1µF and 0.01µF ceramic capacitors. Place the
capacitors as close to the device as possible with the smaller value capacitor closest to the device.
Noninverted LVDS Output. Typically terminate with 100Ω to
Q.
Inverted LVDS Output. Typically terminate with 100Ω to Q.
No Connection. Not internally connected.
