General Description

The MAX9159 dual low-voltage differential signaling

(LVDS) receiver is ideal for applications requiring high

speed, low power, and low noise. The MAX9159 is pin

compatible with the SN65LVDS9637. The MAX9159

conforms to the ANSI TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard and

converts LVDS to LVTTL-compatible outputs. A fail-safe

feature sets the output high when the inputs are undriv-

en and open, terminated, or shorted. The MAX9159 is

available in an 8-pin SO package and fully specified for

the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.

Refer to the MAX9111/MAX9113 data sheet for higher

performance single/dual LVDS line receivers in SOT23

and SO packages. Refer to the MAX9110/MAX9112

data sheet for single/dual LVDS line drivers in SOT23

and SO packages.
