Differential PECL/ECL/LVPECL/LVECL
Receiver/Driver
General Description
The MAX9321B low-skew differential receiver/driver is
designed for clock and data distribution. The differen-
tial input can be adapted to accept a single-ended
input by connecting the on-chip V
BB
supply to an input
as a reference voltage.
The MAX9321B features ultra-low propagation delay
(172ps) and part-to-part skew (20ps) with 24mA maxi-
mum supply current, making this device ideal for clock
buffering or repeating. For interfacing to differential PECL
and LVPECL signals, these devices operate over a +3.0V
to +5.5V supply range, allowing high-performance clock
and data distribution in systems with a nominal 3.3V or
5.0V supply. For differential ECL and LVECL operation,
this device operates from a -3.0V to -5.5V supply.
The MAX9321B is offered in industry-standard 8-pin SO
and TSSOP 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.
