Maxim MAX9157 Quad Bus LVDS Transceiver Datasheet
The MAX9157 quad‑bus LVDS (BLVDS) transceiver is designed for heavily loaded, half‑duplex multipoint buses. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply, draws 80.9 mA with drivers enabled, and includes a fail‑safe circuit that forces the receiver output high when inputs are open, shorted, or terminated.
The device is offered in 5 mm × 5 mm 32‑pin QFN and TQFP packages, supports up to 200 Mbps data rates, and features 52 mV input hysteresis, 7.2 pF maximum bus‑load capacitance, and a -40 °C to +85 °C operating temperature range.
