●Description
●The MAX9180 is a 400Mbps, low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) repeater, which accepts a single LVDS input and duplicates the signal at a single LVDS output. Its low-jitter, low-noise performance makes it ideal for buffering LVDS signals sent over long distances or noisy environments, such as cables and backplanes.
●The MAX9180"s tiny size makes it especially suitable for minimizing stub lengths in multidrop backplane applications. The SC70 package (half the size of a SOT23) allows the MAX9180 to be placed close to the connector, thereby minimizing stub lengths and reflections on the bus. The point-to-point connection between the MAX9180 output and the destination IC, such as an FPGA or ASIC, allows the destination IC to be located at greater distances from the bus connector.
●Ultra-low, 23psP-P added deterministic jitter and 0.6psRMS added random jitter ensure reliable communication in high-speed links that are highly sensitive to timing errors, especially those incorporating clock-and-data recovery, PLLs, serializers, or deserializers. The MAX9180"s switching performance guarantees a 400Mbps data rate, but minimizes radiated noise by guaranteeing 0.5ns minimum output transition time.
●The MAX9180 has fail-safe circuitry that sets the output high for undriven open, short, or terminated inputs.
●The MAX9180 operates from a single 3.3V supply and consumes only 10mA over a -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Refer to the MAX9129 data sheet for a quad bus LVDS (BLVDS) driver, and to the MAX9181 data sheet for a low-jitter, low-noise 400Mbps LVPECL-to-LVDS level translator in an SC70 package.
