The MAX9963/MAX9964 four-channel, low-power, high-speed pin electronics driver and comparator ICs include, for each channel, a three-level pin driver, a dual comparator, and variable clamps. The driver features a wide voltage range and high-speed operation, includes high-Z and active-termination (3rd-level drive) modes, and is highly linear even at low-voltage swings. The dual comparator provides low dispersion (timing variation) over a wide variety of input conditions. The clamps provide damping of high-speed DUT waveforms when the device is configured as a high-impedance receiver. High-speed, differential control inputs compatible with ECL, LVPECL, LVDS, and GTL levels are provided for each channel. ECL/LVPECL or flexible open-collector outputs are available for the comparators.The A-grade version provides tight matching of gain and offset for the drivers and comparators, allowing reference levels to be shared across multiple channels in cost-sensitive systems. For system designs that incorporate independent reference levels for each channel, the B-grade version is available at reduced cost.Optional internal resistors at the high-speed inputs provide differential termination of LVDS inputs, while optional internal resistors provide the pullup voltage and source termination for open-collector comparator outputs. These features significantly reduce the discrete component count on the circuit board. Low-leakage, slew rate, and tri-state/terminate controls are operational configurations that are programmed through a 3-wire, low-voltage, CMOS-compatible serial interface.The MAX9963/MAX9964 operating range is -1.5V to +6.5V, with power dissipation of only 825mW per channel.These devices are available in a 100-pin, 14mm x 14mm body, 0.5mm pitch TQFP with an exposed 8mm x 8mm die pad on the top (MAX9963) or bottom (MAX9964) of the package for efficient heat removal. The MAX9963/MAX9964 are specified to operate with an internal die temperature of +70°C to +100°C, and feature a die temperature monitor output.ApplicationsActive Burn-In SystemsCommodity DRAM TestersFlash Memory TestersLow-Cost Mixed-Signal/System-on-Chip TestersStructural Testers

The MAX9370/MAX9371/MAX9372 LVTTL/TTL-to-differential LVPECL/PECL translators are designed for high-speed communication signal and clock driver applications. The MAX9370/MAX9372 are dual LVTTL/TTL-to-LVPECL/PECL translators that operate in excess of 1GHz. The MAX9371 is a single translator. The MAX9370/MAX9371 operate over a wide 3.0V to 5.25V supply range, allowing high-performance clock or data distribution in systems with a nominal 3.3V or 5.0V supply. The MAX9372 is designed to operate from 3.0V to 3.6V.The devices default to output high if the input is disconnected. They feature low 270ps propagation delay. The MAX9370/MAX9371/MAX9372 employ industry-standard flow-through pinouts. These devices are specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C, and are offered in space-saving, 8-pin SOT23, µMAX, and SO packages.ApplicationsCentral Office Clock DistributionDSLAM/DLCMass StoragePrecision Clock/Data Level TranslationWireless Base Stations

The MAX1840/MAX1841 subscriber identity module (SIM)/smart card level translators provide level shifting and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for SIM and smart card ports. These devices integrate two unidirectional level shifters for the reset and clock signals, a bidirectional level shifter for the serial data stream, and ±10kV ESD protection on all card contacts.The MAX1840 includes a SHDN control input to aid insertion and removal of SIM and smart cards, while the MAX1841 includes a system-side data driver to support system controllers without open-drain outputs. The logic supply voltage range is +1.4V to +5.5V for the 'controller side' and +1.7V to +5.5V for the 'card side.' Total supply current is 1.0µA. Both devices automatically shut down when either power supply is removed. For a complete SIM card interface, combine the MAX1840/MAX1841 with the MAX1686H 0V/3V/5V regulated charge pump.The MAX1840/MAX1841 are available in ultra-small 10-pin µMAX packages that are only 1.09mm high and half the area of an 8-pin SO.The MAX1840/MAX1841 are compliant with GSM test specifications 11.11 and 11.12.ApplicationsLogic-Level TranslationSIM Interface in GSM Cellular TelephonesSmart Card ReadersSPI™, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™ Level Translation
