Lowest Power 3.0GHz ECL/PECL
Differential Data and Clock D Flip-Flop
General Description
The MAX9381 differential data, differential clock D flip-
flop is pin compatible with the ON Semiconductor
MC100EP52, with the added benefit of a wider supply-
voltage range from 2.25V to 5.5V and 25% lower supply
current. Data enters the master part of the flip-flop
when the clock is low and is transferred to the outputs
upon a positive transition of the clock. Interchanging
the clock inputs allows the part to be used as a nega-
tive edge-triggered device. The MAX9381 utilizes input
clamping circuits that ensure the stability of the outputs
when the inputs are left open or at V
EE
.
The MAX9381 is offered in an 8-pin SO package and
the smaller 8-pin µMAX package.

MAX9381
Detailed Description
The MAX9381 D flip-flop transfers the logic level at the
D input to the Q output on a rising edge transition of the
clock, provided the minimum setup and hold times are
met. By interchanging the CLK and
CLK
inputs, the flip-
flop functions as a falling-edge triggered flip-flop.
The input signals (D,
D
and CLK,
CLK)
are differential
and have a maximum differential input voltage of 3.0V
or V
CC
- V
EE
, whichever is less. To ensure that the out-
puts remain stable when the inputs are left open, each
of the inputs is driven low by a 75kΩ bias resistor con-
nected to V
EE
. If the D and
D
inputs are left open or at
V
EE
, the output is guaranteed to be a differential low on
the next low-to-high transition of the clock. If the CLK
and
CLK
inputs are left open or at V
EE
, the outputs
remain unchanged (Table 1). Terminate the outputs (Q,
Q)
through 50Ω to V
CC
- 2V or an equivalent Thevenin
termination (see the
Output Termination
section).

Applications Information
T Flip-Flop
The MAX9381 can be configured as a T flip-flop by
connecting Q to
D
and
Q
to D. This configuration pro-
vides an output at half the frequency of the clock. The
maximum operating frequency is determined by the
sum of the setup time, the propagation delay of the
