21-Bit Deserializers with Programmable
Spread Spectrum and DC Balance
General Description
The MAX9242/MAX9244/MAX9246/MAX9254 deserialize
three LVDS serial-data inputs into 21 single-ended LVC-
MOS/ LVTTL outputs. A separate parallel-rate LVDS clock
provides the timing for deserialization. The MAX9242/
MAX9244/MAX9246/MAX9254 feature spread-spectrum
capability, allowing the output data and clock frequency
to spread over a specified range to reduce EMI. The sin-
gle-ended data and clock outputs are programmable for
a frequency spread of ±2%, ±4%, or no spread. The
spread-spectrum function is also available when the
MAX9242/MAX9244/MAX9246/MAX9254 operate in non-
DC-balanced mode. The modulation rate of the spread is
32kHz for a 33MHz LVDS clock input and scales linearly
with frequency. The single-ended outputs have a sepa-
rate supply, allowing +1.8V to +5V output logic levels.
The MAX9254 features high output drive current for both
data and clock outputs for faster transition times in the
presence of heavy capacitive loads.
The MAX9242/MAX9244/MAX9246/MAX9254 feature pro-
grammable DC balance, allowing isolation between a
serializer and deserializer using AC-coupling. The
MAX9242/MAX9244/MAX9246/MAX9254 operate with the
MAX9209/MAX9213 serializers and are available with a
rising-edge strobe (MAX9242) or falling-edge strobe
(MAX9244/MAX9246/MAX9254). The LVDS inputs meet
ISO 10605 ESD specifications with ±30kV Air-Gap
Discharge and ±6kV Contact Discharge ratings.

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.

Note 3:
To provide a mid level, leave the input open, or, if driven, put driver in high impedance. High-impedance leakage current
