Maxim Integrated MAX9172ESA+ Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Receiver

The Maxim Integrated MAX9172ESA+ is a high-performance, low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) receiver designed for applications that require high data rates and minimal power consumption. As a part of Maxim Integrated's extensive line of interface products, the MAX9172ESA+ offers a robust solution for converting LVDS signals to Low Voltage TTL (LVTTL)/CMOS levels with a differential input threshold that remains stable over the entire common-mode voltage range.

This compact device comes in a space-saving 8-pin NSOIC package, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained applications. It is engineered to operate over a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of environments. The MAX9172ESA+ is specifically designed to receive data at speeds up to 400Mbps, making it suitable for high-speed data communications in computing, networking, telecommunications, and industrial markets.

Key features of the MAX9172ESA+ include:

• Integrated termination resistors that minimize reflections and simplify PCB layout
• Flow-through pinout that simplifies PCB layout
• Low 100mV (typ) differential input threshold for high noise immunity
• Power supply range of 3.0V to 3.6V for compatibility with a variety of logic families
• Interoperable with existing 5V LVDS receivers
• Fail-safe circuitry that ensures a logic-high output if the inputs are open, shorted, or terminated but undriven
• Conforms to the TIA/EIA-644 LVDS Standard

The MAX9172ESA+ is not only designed for ease of use but also for robust protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is equipped with ESD protection circuitry that exceeds ±15kV using the Human Body Model, safeguarding the device from potential damage during handling and operation.

Whether you are developing high-speed data systems, clock distribution networks, or any application that requires reliable data transmission with minimal signal degradation, the Maxim Integrated MAX9172ESA+ LVDS receiver is an excellent choice for ensuring data integrity while maintaining low power consumption.
