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

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.
