One-to-Four LVCMOS-to-LVPECL
Output Clock and Data Driver
General Description
The MAX9323 low-skew, low-jitter, clock and data dri-
ver distributes one of two single-ended LVCMOS inputs
to four differential LVPECL outputs. A single logic con-
trol signal (CLK_SEL) selects the input signal to distrib-
ute to all outputs. The device operates from 3.0V to
3.6V, making the device ideal for 3.3V systems, and
consumes only 25mA (max) of supply current.
The MAX9323 features low 150ps part-to-part skew, low
11ps output-to-output skew, and low 1.7ps RMS jitter,
making the device ideal for clock and data distribution
across a backplane or board. All outputs are enabled
and disabled synchronously with the clock input to pre-
vent partial output clock pulses.
The MAX9323 is available in space-saving 20-pin
TSSOP and ultra-small 20-pin 4mm

4mm thin QFN
packages and operates over the extended (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range. The MAX9323 is pin com-
patible with Integrated Circuit Systems’ ICS8535-01.

NAME

FUNCTION
Ground. Provide a low-impedance connection to the ground plane.
Synchronous Output Enable. Connect CLK_EN to V
CC
or leave floating to enable the
differential outputs. Connect CLK_EN to GND to disable the differential outputs. When
disabled, Q_ asserts low and
Q_
asserts high. An internal 51kΩ pullup resistor to V
CC
allows
CLK_EN to be left floating.
Clock Select Input. Connect CLK_SEL to V
CC
to select the CLK1 input. Connect CLK_SEL to
GND or leave floating to select the CLK0 input. Only the selected CLK_ signal is reproduced
at each output. An internal 51kΩ pulldown resistor to GND allows CLK_SEL to be left floating.
LVCMOS Clock Input. When CLK_SEL = GND, each set of outputs differentially reproduces
CLK0. An internal 51kΩ pulldown resistor to GND forces the outputs (Q_,
Q_)
to differential low
when CLK0 is left open or at GND, CLK_SEL = GND, and the outputs are enabled.
No Connect. Not internally connected.
LVCMOS Clock Input. When CLK_SEL = V
CC
, each set of outputs differentially reproduces
CLK1. An internal 51kΩ pulldown resistor to GND forces the outputs (Q_,
Q_)
to differential low
when CLK1 is left open or at GND, CLK_SEL = V
CC
, and the outputs are enabled.
Positive Supply Voltage. Bypass V
CC
to GND with three 0.01µF and one 0.1µF ceramic
capacitors. Place the 0.01µF capacitors as close to each V
CC
input as possible (one per V
CC
input). Connect all V
CC
inputs together, and bypass to GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
Inverting Differential LVPECL Output. Terminate
Q3
to (V
CC
- 2V) with a 50Ω ±1% resistor.
Noninverting Differential LVPECL Output. Terminate Q3 to (V
CC
- 2V) with a 50Ω ±1% resistor.

Q2
to (V

- 2V) with a 50Ω ±1% resistor.

Detailed Description
The MAX9323 low-skew, low-jitter, clock and data dri-
ver distributes one of two single-ended LVCMOS input
signals to four differential LVPECL outputs. An input
multiplexer allows selection of one of the two input sig-
nals. The output drivers operate at frequencies up to
1.5GHz. The MAX9323 operates from 3.0V to 3.6V,
making it ideal for 3.3V systems.
select CLK0. Connect CLK_SEL to V
CC
to select CLK1.
CLK0 and CLK1 are pulled to GND through internal
51kΩ resistors, when not connected.
CLK_EN Input
CLK_EN enables/disables the differential outputs of the
MAX9323. Connect CLK_EN to V
CC
to enable the differ-
ential outputs. The (Q_,
Q_)
outputs are driven to a differ-
ential low condition when CLK_EN = GND. Each
differential output pair disables following successive ris-
ing and falling edges on CLK_, after CLK_EN connects to
GND. Both a rising and falling edge on CLK_ are required
to complete the enable/disable function (Figure 2).
Data Inputs
Single-Ended LVCMOS Inputs
The MAX9323 accepts two single-ended LVCMOS
inputs (CLK0 and CLK1, Figure 1). An internal refer-
ence (V
CC
/2) provides the input thresold voltage for
CLK0 and CLK1. CLK_SEL selects the CLK0 input or
CLK1 input to be converted to four differential LVPECL
signals (see Table 1). Connect CLK_SEL to GND to
CLK_SEL Input
CLK_SEL selects which single-ended LVCMOS input
signal is output differentially as four LVPECL signals.
Connect CLK_SEL to GND to select the CLK0 input.
