General Description

The MAX9360/MAX9361 are low-skew, single LVTTL/

TTL/CMOS-to-differential LVECL/ECL translators

designed for high-speed signal and clock driver appli-

cations. For interfacing to LVTTL/TTL/CMOS input sig-

nals, these devices operate over a 3.0V to 5.5V supply

range, allowing high-performance clock or data distrib-

ution. For interfacing to differential LVECL/ECL output

signals, these devices operate from a -2.375V to -5.5V

supply.

The MAX9360 is a 3.3V LVTTL/CMOS-to-LVECL/ECL

translator that operates at a typical speed of 3GHz. The

MAX9361 is a 5V TTL/CMOS-to-LVECL/ECL translator

that operates at a typical speed of 1.3GHz. Both

devices can be used to drive either LVECL devices or

standard ECL devices with a negative supply range of

-2.375V to -5.5V.

The devices default to high if the input is disconnected,

and feature ultra-low propagation delay: 440ps for the

MAX9360, 810ps for the MAX9361.

The MAX9360 is specified for operation from -40°C to

+85°C in an 8-pin SO package, and 0°C to +85°C in a

space-saving, 8-pin SOT23 package.

The MAX9361 is specified for operation from -40°C to

+85°C for both 8-pin SO and SOT23 packages.
