Product details
Overview
MAX9382ESA from Maxim Integrated is a high-speed ECL/PECL phase-frequency detector IC designed for precision PLL clock synchronization. It compares single-ended reference (R) and VCO (V) inputs, delivers differential up (U/U) and down (D/D) pulse streams, operates over VCC–VEE = 4.2V to 5.5V, supports up to 450MHz bandwidth with ±π phase detection range, and is specified for –40°C to +85°C industrial operation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9382ESA datasheet, MAX9382ESA pinout, MAX9382ESA application, or MAX9382ESA equivalent, this device is selected for high-bandwidth PLLs requiring guaranteed minimum 370ps output pulse width, low propagation delay (650ps typ), 44mA supply current, 75kΩ internal input pulldowns, and ECL/PECL level compatibility in 8-pin SO packaging.
Technical Context
The MAX9382ESA implements a symmetrical bipolar state-machine architecture optimized for high-frequency phase/frequency comparison. Its R and V inputs are functionally interchangeable with corresponding U/D output relabeling, and it generates complementary differential pulse trains whose integrated difference yields a control voltage proportional to input phase or frequency error.
It features guaranteed minimum pulse duration (370ps min at –40°C) to eliminate dead-band behavior in charge-pump integrators, supports both ECL (VCC = GND, VEE = negative) and PECL (VCC = positive, VEE = GND) configurations, and uses 100K logic levels with 50Ω terminations referenced to VCC – 2V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Operating Frequency | 450MHz typical - enables use in high-bandwidth PLLs for DSLAM, base station, and ATE clock recovery. |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC – VEE = 4.2V to 5.5V - compatible with standard ECL/PECL rail configurations and pin-compatible with MCK12140. |
| Propagation Delay | 650ps typical (R→U/V→D) - ensures tight timing alignment in fast-locking PLL loops. |
| Min Pulse Duration | 370ps minimum at –40°C - eliminates dead-zone-induced phase offset at lock condition. |
| Supply Current | 44mA typical - defines power budget for high-speed clock distribution subsystems. |
| Differential Output Swing | 585mV to 820mV - provides robust noise margin for downstream charge-pump or filter stages. |
| ESD Protection | ±2kV HBM - ensures reliability during board handling and system integration. |
Pinout & Package
MAX9382ESA is housed in an industry-standard 8-pin SO (SOIC-N) package with 150-mil body width, 1.27mm pitch, and exposed pad not present. Thermal resistance is 170°C/W (still air) and 99°C/W (500LFPM airflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (U) | Inverting Up Output | Generates pulse stream when fR > fV or V lags R; requires 50Ω termination to VCC – 2V. |
| 2 (U) | Noninverting Up Output | Complementary to Pin 1; both U pins must be terminated for single-ended extraction. |
| 3 (D) | Inverting Down Output | Generates pulse stream when fV > fR or R lags V; 50Ω termination to VCC – 2V required. |
| 4 (D) | Noninverting Down Output | Complementary to Pin 3; used with Pin 3 for differential or single-ended D signal routing. |
| 5 (VEE) | Negative Supply | Return path for ECL (VEE = –5.2V) or ground reference for PECL (VEE = GND). |
| 6 (V) | VCO Input | Single-ended ECL/PECL input accepting VCO signal; internally pulled down with 75kΩ resistor. |
| 7 (R) | Reference Input | Single-ended ECL/PECL reference clock input; also internally pulled down with 75kΩ resistor. |
| 8 (VCC) | Positive Supply | Power rail for PECL (VCC = +5V) or ground for ECL; bypassed with 0.1µF + 0.01µF ceramics. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar phase-frequency detection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9382EUA | Identical electrical specs and functionality; differs only in 8-pin µMAX (3mm × 3mm) vs. SO (4.9mm × 6.0mm) package. | Used where board space is constrained and thermal performance under forced airflow is prioritized (µMAX: 155°C/W @ 500LFPM). | Select MAX9382EUA for compact layouts; MAX9382ESA for legacy SO footprint compatibility and higher thermal mass. |
| MCK12140 | Pin-compatible predecessor with wider propagation delay variation (800ps max vs. 750ps max for MAX9382ESA) and no guaranteed min pulse width spec. | Suitable for less demanding PLLs where jitter floor and lock-time consistency are secondary to cost. | Choose MAX9382ESA when guaranteed 370ps min pulse width and tighter delay matching are required for low-jitter synthesis. |
Compared with MAX9382EUA, MAX9382ESA offers identical core functionality but greater PCB real estate and thermal inertia; versus MCK12140, it adds guaranteed minimum pulse width and tighter AC specs-critical for modern high-stability PLLs in telecom infrastructure.

FAQ
What logic family is MAX9382ESA compatible with?
MAX9382ESA is compatible with 100K ECL logic levels. Its input thresholds (VIH = VCC – 0.88V, VIL = VCC – 1.475V) and output swing (VOH/VOL referenced to VCC – 2V) match Motorola's MCK12140, enabling drop-in replacement in existing 100K ECL systems. The MAX9382ESA does not support 10H logic - that is reserved for the MAX9383ESA variant.
How is MAX9382ESA configured for ECL versus PECL operation?
For ECL mode, connect VCC to system ground and VEE to a negative supply (e.g., –5.2V); for PECL mode, connect VCC to a positive supply (e.g., +5V) and VEE to ground. In both cases, outputs terminate to VCC – 2V via 50Ω resistors. The MAX9382ESA's internal design supports either configuration without modification.
Does MAX9382ESA require external input biasing resistors?
No. MAX9382ESA integrates 75kΩ pulldown resistors on both R and V inputs, eliminating the need for external bias networks. This reduces component count and layout complexity while ensuring defined DC states during startup or idle conditions - a key advantage over discrete or older PFD solutions.
What is the significance of the guaranteed minimum pulse width in MAX9382ESA?
The guaranteed minimum pulse width (370ps at –40°C) ensures no dead-band behavior in charge-pump-based PLLs. Without this guarantee, narrow pulses could be lost in downstream circuitry, causing static phase offset and increased jitter. MAX9382ESA's specification directly enables sub-picosecond RMS jitter performance in locked loops.
Can the R and V inputs of MAX9382ESA be swapped in a design?
Yes. MAX9382ESA is functionally symmetrical: swapping R and V inputs requires corresponding swap of U/U and D/D outputs and relabeling of signal names. This flexibility allows designers to assign reference and VCO roles based on board routing constraints without changing component selection or firmware logic.
