_______________Detailed Description
LVDS Inputs
The MAX9111/MAX9113 feature LVDS inputs for inter-
facing high-speed digital circuitry. The LVDS interface
standard is a signaling method intended for point-to-
point communication over a controlled impedance
media, as defined by the ANSI/EIA/TIA-644 standards.
The technology uses low-voltage signals to achieve fast
transition times, minimize power dissipation, and noise
immunity. Receivers such as the MAX9111/MAX9113
convert LVDS signals to CMOS/LVTTL signals at rates
in excess of 500Mbps. The devices are capable of
detecting differential signals as low as 100mV and as
high as 1V within a 0V to 2.4V input voltage range . The
LVDS standard specifies an input voltage range of 0 to
2.4V referenced to ground.
Fail-Safe
The fail-safe feature sets the output to a high state
when the inputs are undriven and open, terminated, or
shorted. When using one channel in the MAX9113,
leave the unused channel open.
ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures are
incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic
discharges encountered during handling and assembly.
The receiver inputs of the MAX9111/MAX9113 have extra
protection against static electricity. Maxim
’
s engineers
have developed state-of-the-art structures to protect
these pins against ESD of ±11kV without damage. The
ESD structures withstand high ESD in all states: normal
operation, shutdown, and powered down.
ESD protection can be tested in various ways; the
receiver inputs of this product family are characterized
for protection to the limit of ±11kV using the Human
Body Model.
Human Body Model
Figure 3a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure
3b shows the current waveform it generates when dis-
charged into a low impedance. This model consists of
a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of inter-
est, which is then discharged into the test device
through a 1.5k
resistor.
