LVDS redriver for signal integrity restoration
The MAX9180EXT+T from Analog Devices is a single-channel LVDS buffer and redriver designed to regenerate degraded LVDS signals over longer PCB traces or cable runs. It accepts LVDS input and outputs LVDS, operating from a 3 V to 3.6 V supply with a typical supply current of 10 mA. The part is housed in a SC-70-6 package and rated for -40°C to +85°C operation, suiting it for industrial and telecom backplane environments where signal integrity margin is tight.
Active lifecycle — no obsolescence concern
The MAX9180EXT+T carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. There is no last-time-buy notice or NRND flag on record.
Package and mounting — SC-70-6 footprint
The part is supplied in a 6-lead SC-70-6 package, which is the same footprint as the industry-standard SOT-363. It is a surface-mount device and ships in Tape & Reel or Cut Tape.
