MAX9123
Quad LVDS Line Driver with Flow-Through Pinout
General Description
The MAX9123 quad low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) differential line driver is ideal for applications requiring high data rates, low power, and low noise. The MAX9123 is guaranteed to transmit data at speeds up to 800Mbps (400MHz) over controlled impedance media of approximately 100Ω. The transmission media may be printed circuit (PC) board traces, backplanes, or cables.
The MAX9123 accepts four LVTTL/LVCMOS input levels and translates them to LVDS output signals. Moreover, the MAX9123 is capable of setting all four outputs to a high-impedance state through two enable inputs, EN and EN, thus dropping the device to an ultra-low-power state of 16mW (typ) during high impedance.
