21-Bit Deserializers with Programmable
Spread Spectrum and DC Balance
General Description
The MAX9242/MAX9244/MAX9246 deserialize three
LVDS serial-data inputs into 21 single-ended LVCMOS/
LVTTL outputs. A separate parallel-rate LVDS clock pro-
vides the timing for deserialization. The MAX9242/
MAX9244/MAX9246 feature spread-spectrum capability,
allowing the output data and clock frequency to spread
over a specified range to reduce EMI. The single-ended
data and clock outputs are programmable for a frequency
spread of ±2%, ±4%, or no spread. The spread-spectrum
function is also available when the MAX9242/MAX9244/
MAX9246 operate in non-DC-balanced mode. The modu-
lation rate of the spread is 32kHz for a 33MHz LVDS clock
input and scales linearly with frequency. The single-
ended outputs have a separate supply, allowing +1.8V to
+5V output logic levels.
The MAX9242/MAX9244/MAX9246 feature program-
mable DC balance, allowing isolation between a serial-
izer and deserializer using AC-coupling. The MAX9242/
MAX9244/MAX9246 operate with the MAX9209/
MAX9213 serializers and are available with a rising-
edge strobe (MAX9242) or falling-edge strobe
(MAX9244/MAX9246). The LVDS inputs meet ISO
10605 ESD specifications with ±30kV Air-Gap
Discharge and ±6kV Contact Discharge ratings.
The MAX9242/MAX9244/MAX9246 are available in a
48-pin TSSOP package and operate over the -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
