General Description
The MAX9153/MAX9154 low-jitter, low-voltage differential
signaling (LVDS) repeaters are ideal for applications that
require high-speed data or clock distribution while mini-
mizing power, space, and noise. The devices accept a
single LVDS input (MAX9153) or single LVPECL input
(MAX9154) and repeat the signal at 10 LVDS outputs.
Each differential output drives 100
Ω, allowing point-to-
point distribution of signals on transmission lines with
100
Ω termination at the receiver input.
Ultra-low 90psp-p (max) added deterministic jitter and
1psRMS (max) added random jitter ensure reliable com-
munication in high-speed links that are highly sensitive to
timing error, especially those incorporating clock-and-
data recovery or serializers and deserializers. The high-
speed switching performance guarantees 800Mbps data
rate and less than 60ps (max) skew between channels
while operating from a single +3.3V supply.
Supply current at 800Mbps is 118mA and reduces to
2A in power-down mode. LVDS inputs and outputs con-
form to the ANSI/EIA/TIA -644 standard. A fail-safe fea-
ture on the MAX9153 sets the output high when the input
is undriven and open, terminated, or shorted. The
MAX9153/MAX9154 are available in a 28-pin TSSOP
package and are specified for the -40°C to +85°C
extended temperature range.
Refer to the MAX9150 data sheet for a pin-compatible
10-port LVDS repeater capable of driving a double-termi-
nated (50
Ω) LVDS link.
Refer to the MAX9110/MAX9112 and MAX9111/MAX9113
data sheets for LVDS line drivers and receivers.
