What this clock driver is
The Maxim Integrated MAX9310AEUP is a 1:5 clock driver designed to distribute a single clock input to five low-skew outputs. It is used in systems requiring multiple synchronized clock domains, such as telecom infrastructure, data converters, and high-speed digital boards where timing margin is tight.
Lifecycle and compliance reality
Production status is Active per the manufacturer, so no end-of-life risk for current or near-term builds. The part is RoHS non-compliant, which means it cannot be used in products destined for markets with RoHS mandates (EU, California, etc.) unless an exemption applies. For legacy or military/aerospace BOMs that still specify tin-lead solder, this is the exact part to source.
Sourcing and fit for your BOM
Because the MAX9310AEUP is a clock driver with a specific 1:5 fanout, the key fit check is whether your system needs exactly five outputs from one input — no more, no less.
