Logic can be defined as a principle or system of thought that helps guide our decisions, but more specifically in electronics, it is a set of instructions for controlling the behavior of electrical circuits. Translators and level shifters help capture logical signals from one type to another type and also from one voltage to another voltage, enabling signals to reach the correct target. One type of logic translator is the MAX9371ESA + T, used for the conversion of low voltage differential signals (LVDS) to a variety of other standard logic levels. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of MAX9371ESA+T.

Application Field

The MAX9371ESA+T model is a channel-to-channel level shifter and voltage translator, which can be used to convert differential signals from Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) to a variety of other standard logic levels such as CMOS, LVCMOS, LVPECL and SSTL. This model is a single-channel, bi-directional device with an integrated 120-ohm termination resistor and a 2-wire ⁄ 4-wire or 6-wire interface. The device is mainly used in computer systems, telecom and data processing equipment, including cell phones, Network Interface cards (NICs), peripheral controller ICs, and memory/micro-controller applications.

Working Principle

The MAX9371ESA+T model forbi-directional, level shifting, voltage translation utilities accepts two types of LVDS input signals, such as single-ended LVDS (SELVDS) and differential LVDS. SELVDS is usually used for data-rate up to 800 Mbps and different LVDS used for data rates up to 2.5 Gbps. The device converts the LVDS input voltage levels to logic levels compatible with other logic families such as CMOS or LVCMOS. The output of the level shifting/voltage translation can provide up to five logic levels. Each channel typically provides a swing of 200mVpp at the input and 300mVpp at the output.

The MAX9371ESA+T includes an integrated 240-ohm termination resistor, which helps the device achieve frequency response up to the 2.5 Gbps range. The device also incorporates a low 0.45V undershoot, low 72 mV offsets, and narrow 3.2ns switching times. The MAX9371ESA+T also features up to 35kV ESD protection and a wide operating temperature range from -40¡æC to +85¡æC.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the MAX9371ESA+T is a high-performance logic translator, level shifter and voltage translator, designed for the conversion of low voltage differential logic signals to a variety of other standard logic levels. This versatile device is ideal for a wide range of computer systems, telecom and data processing equipment, such as cell phones, NICs, and memory/micro-controller applications. It includes an integrated 240-ohm termination resistor and offers up to 35kV ESD protection, a wide operating temperature range, low undershoot, accurate offsets, and fast switching times.
