1:2 Differential PECL/ECL/LVPECL/LVECL Clock and Data Driver

The MAX9320B low-skew, 1-to-2 differential driver is designed for clock and data distribution. The input is reproduced at two differential outputs. The differential input can be adapted to accept single-ended inputs by applying an external reference voltage.

The MAX9320B features ultra-low propagation delay (208ps), part-to-part skew (20ps), and output-to-output skew (6ps) with 30mA maximum supply current, making this device ideal for clock distribution. For interfacing to differential PECL and LVPECL signals, this device operates over a +3.0V to +5.5V supply range, allowing high-performance clock or data distribution in systems with a nominal 3.3V or 5V supply. For differential ECL and LVECL operation, this device operates from a -3.0V to -5.5V supply.

The MAX9320B is offered in industry-standard 8-pin TSSOP and SO packages.
