MAX9156

19-2216; Rev 0; 10/01 Low-Jitter, Low-Noise LVPECL-to-LVDS Level Translator in an SC70 Package General Description The MAX9156 is an LVPECL-to-LVDS level translator that accepts a single LVPECL input and translates it to a single LVDS output. It is ideal for interfacing between LVPECL and LVDS interfaces in systems that require minimum jitter, noise, power, and space. Ultra-low, 23ps p-p added deterministic jitter and 0.6psRMS added random jitter ensure reliable communication in high-speed links that are highly sensitive to timing errors, especially those incorporating clock-anddata recovery, PLLs, serializers, or deserializers. The MAX9156’s switching performance guarantees a 200Mbps data rate, but minimizes radiated noise by guaranteeing 0.5ns minimum output transition time. The MAX9156 operates from a single +3.3V supply and consumes only 10mA supply current over a -40°C to +85°C temperature range. It is available in a tiny 6-pin SC70 package (half the size of a SOT23).
