670MHz LVDS-to-LVDS and
Anything-to-LVDS 2:1 Multiplexers
General Description
The MAX9176/MAX9177 are 670MHz, low-jitter, low-
skew 2:1 multiplexers ideal for protection switching,
loopback, and clock distribution. The devices feature
ultra-low 68ps peak-to-peak deterministic jitter that
ensures reliable operation in high-speed links that are
highly sensitive to timing errors.
The MAX9176 has fail-safe LVDS inputs and an LVDS
output. The MAX9177 has “anything” differential inputs
(CML/LVDS/LVPECL) and an LVDS output. The output
can be put into high impedance using the power-down
input. The MAX9176 features fail-safe circuits that drive
the output high when a selected input is open, undriven
and shorted, or undriven and terminated. The MAX9177
has bias circuits that force the output high when a
selected input is open. The mux select and power-
down inputs are compatible with standard LVTTL/
LVCMOS logic.
The select and power-down inputs tolerate undershoot
of -1V and overshoot of V
CC
+ 1V. The MAX9176/
MAX9177 are available in 10-pin µMAX and 10-lead
thin QFN packages, and operate from a single 3.3V
supply over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
