Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The MAX9171/MAX9172 single/dual low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) receivers are designed for high-speed applications requiring minimum power consumption, space, and noise. Both devices support switching rates exceeding 500Mbps while operating from a single 3.3V supply.

The MAX9171 is a single LVDS receiver and the MAX9172 is a dual LVDS receiver. Both devices conform to the ANSI TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard and convert LVDS to LVTTL/LVCMOS-compatible outputs. A fail-safe feature sets the outputs high when the inputs are undriven and open, terminated, or shorted. The MAX9171/MAX9172 are available in 8-pin SO packages and space-saving thin QFN and SOT23 packages.
