The MAX9159 dual low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) receiver is ideal for applications requiring high speed, low power, and low noise. The MAX9159 is pin compatible with the SN65LVDS9637. The MAX9159 conforms to the ANSI TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard and converts LVDS to LVTTL-compatible outputs. A fail-safe feature sets the output high when the inputs are undriven and open, terminated, or shorted. The MAX9159 is available in an 8-pin SO package and fully specified for the -40C to +85C extended temperature range. Refer to the MAX9111/MAX9113 data sheet for higher performance single/dual LVDS line receivers in SOT23 and SO packages. Refer to the MAX9110/MAX9112 data sheet for single/dual LVDS line drivers in SOT23 and SO packages.
