670MHz LVDS-to-LVDS and Anything-to-LVDS
1:2 Splitters
General Description
The MAX9174/MAX9175 are 670MHz, low-jitter, low-
skew 1:2 splitters ideal for protection switching, loop-
back, and clock and signal distribution. The devices
feature ultra-low 1.0ps
(RMS)
random jitter (max) that
ensures reliable operation in high-speed links that are
highly sensitive to timing errors.
The MAX9174 has a fail-safe LVDS input and LVDS out-
puts. The MAX9175 has an anything differential input
(CML/LVDS/LVPECL) and LVDS outputs. The outputs
can be put into high impedance using the power-down
inputs. The MAX9174 features a fail-safe circuit that dri-
ves the outputs high when the input is open, undriven
and shorted, or undriven and terminated. The MAX9175
has a bias circuit that forces the outputs high when the
input is open. The power-down inputs are compatible
with standard LVTTL/LVCMOS logic. The power-down
inputs tolerate undershoot of -1V and overshoot of V
CC
+ 1V. The MAX9174/MAX9175 are available in 10-pin
µMAX and 10-lead thin QFN with exposed pad pack-
ages, 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.
