Detailed Description
The MAX9317 family of low-skew, 1-to-5 dual differen-
tial drivers are designed for clock or data distribution.
Two independent 1-to-5 splitters accept a differential
input signal and reproduce it on five separate differen-
tial LVDS outputs. The output drivers are guaranteed to
operate at frequencies up to 1.0GHz with the LVDS out-
put levels conforming to the EIA/TIA-644 standard.
The MAX9317/MAX9317A operate from a 2.375V to
2.625V power supply for use in 2.5V systems. The
MAX9317B/MAX9317C operate from a 3.0V to 3.6V
supply for 3.3V systems.
Differential LVPECL and LVDS Input
The MAX9317 family has two input differential pairs:
CLKA and CLKA, and CLKB and CLKB. Each differen-
tial input pair can be configured or terminated indepen-
dently. The inputs are designed to be driven by either
LVPECL or LVDS signals with a maximum differential
voltage of VCC or 3.0V, whichever is less.
The MAX9317A/MAX9317C reduce external component
count by having the input 50Ω termination resistors on
chip. Configure the MAX9317A/MAX9317C to receive
LVPECL signals by connecting VT_ to VCC - 2V (Figure
2(a)). Leaving the VT_ input floating configures the
