The MAX9164 is a MAXIM 3.3V single LVDS driver/receiver that features low power, single supply, high drive current, high sensitivity, low crosstalk, support for 200Mbps data transfer rate. The product is used in cell phone base stations, network switches/routers, add/drop multiplexers, backplane interconnect, digital cross-connects, clock distribution, DSLAMs and other fields.
The MAX9164 is a high‑speed LVDS driver/receiver designed for low‑power point‑to‑point applications. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply, provides a 3.1 mA typical driver output current, and supports data signaling up to 200 Mbps. The device is pin‑compatible with the DS90LV019 and features independent differential driver and receiver sections.
The datasheet provides absolute maximum ratings, DC and AC electrical characteristics, pin‑out tables, and detailed package dimensions for the 14‑lead SOIC and TSSOP options. Application notes cover power‑supply bypassing, termination requirements, board layout recommendations, and typical operating curves.
