Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and  unctional 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 MAX9321/MAX9321A are low-skew differential receiver/drivers designed for clock and data distribution. The differential input can be adapted to accept a
single-ended input by connecting the on-chip V_BB supply to an input as a reference voltage.

The MAX9321/MAX9321A feature ultra-low propagation delay (172ps) and part-to-part skew (20ps) with 24mA  maximum supply current, making these devices idea  for clock buffering or repeating. For interfacing to differential HSTL and LVPECL signals, these MAX9321 operate over a +2.25V to +3.8V supply range, allowing high-performance clock and data distribution in systems with a nominal +2.5V or +3.3V supply. For differential LVECL operation, these MAX9321 operate from a -2.25V to -3.8V supply. Multiple pinouts are provided to simplify routing across a backplane to either side of a double-sided board.

MAX9321 are offered in space-saving 8-pin SOT23, SO, and µMAX packages.
