MAXIM MAX9424-MAX9427 Quad PECL-to-ECL Translator Datasheet
The MAX9424-MAX9427 are high-speed, low-skew quad PECL-to-ECL translators designed for data and clock driver applications. These devices feature ultra-low random jitter (0.24ps RMS) and can operate either synchronously with an external clock or asynchronously based on the SEL input state.
The family includes four distinct parts differentiated by their input and output termination options, ranging from open inputs/outputs to integrated 100Ω inputs and 50Ω outputs. They operate across a wide voltage range of ±2.375V to ±5.5V and are available in 32-pin TQFP and QFN packages.
