1:5 Differential (LV)PECL/(LV)ECL/HSTL Clock and Data Driver

Active: In Production.

The MAX9316A is a low-skew, 1-to-5 differential driver designed for clock and data distribution. This device allows selection between two inputs: one differential and one single ended. The selected input is reproduced at five differential outputs. The differential input can be adapted to accept a single-ended input by connecting the on-chip V_BB supply to one input as a reference voltage.

The MAX9316A features low output-to-output skew (20ps), making it ideal for clock and data distribution across a backplane or board. For interfacing to differential HSTL and (LV)PECL signals, this device operates over a 3.0V to 5.5V supply range, allowing high-performance clock or data distribution in systems with a nominal 3.3V or 5.0V supply. For differential (LV)ECL operation, this device operates with a -3.0V to -5.5V supply.

The MAX9316A is offered in a 20-pin wide SO package.
