Single/Dual LVDS Line Receivers with "In-Path" Fail-Safe

The MAX9171/MAX9172 single/dual low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) receivers are designed for high-speed applications requiring minimum power consumption, space, and noise. Both devices support switching rates exceeding 500Mbps while operating from a single 3.3V supply.

The MAX9171 is a single LVDS receiver and the MAX9172 is a dual LVDS receiver. Both devices conform to the ANSI TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard and convert LVDS to LVTTL/LVCMOS-compatible outputs. A fail-safe feature sets the outputs high when the inputs are undriven and open, terminated, or shorted. The MAX9171/MAX9172 are available in 8-pin SO packages and space-saving thin DFN and SOT23 packages.

For lower skew devices, refer to the MAX9111/MAX9113 data sheet.
