The MAX9150 is a low-jitter, 10-port LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) repeater designed for applications that require high-speed data or clock distribution while minimizing power, space, and noise. The device accepts a single LVDS input and repeats the signal at 10 LVDS outputs. The ultra-low 120ps (max) peak-to-peak jitter ensures reliable communication in high-speed links that are highly sensitive to timing error, especially those incorporating clock-and-data recovery, or serializers and deserializers. The high-speed switching performance guarantees a 400Mbps data rate and less than 100ps skew between channels while operating from a s
The MAX9150 is a low‑jitter, 10‑port LVDS repeater designed for high‑speed data or clock distribution while minimizing power, space, and noise. It accepts a single LVDS input and repeats the signal on ten LVDS outputs, each driving a 50 Ω differential load. Key features include ultra‑low 120 ps peak‑to‑peak jitter, 100 ps maximum channel‑to‑channel skew, and a guaranteed 400 Mbps data rate from a single +3.3 V supply.
The datasheet provides absolute maximum ratings, DC and AC electrical characteristics, typical operating curves, and application guidelines such as termination, trace routing, and cable selection. Package information (28‑pin TSSOP) and test circuit diagrams are also included for design verification.
