Quad, Low-Power, 1200Mbps ATE Driver
General Description
The MAX9977 quad, low-power, high-speed, pin-electronics driver includes, for each channel, a three-level pin driver. The driver features a wide voltage range and high-speed operation, includes high-impedance and active-termination (3rd-level drive) modes, and is highly linear even at low voltage swings. The MAX9977 provides high-speed, differential control inputs with internal 50Ω (100Ω LVDS) termination resistors that allow compatibility with 1.8V and 3.5V terminated 0.4VP-P CML, reducing the discrete component count required on the circuit board. The MAX9977AD has no internal termination.
