Maxim Integrated
General Description
The MAX9546/MAX9547 differential interface chipset converts single-ended voltages to differential voltages for transport and then converts back to single-ended voltages. These devices eliminate costly, bulky, single-ended coaxial cables with inexpensive, readily available, differential shielded (ScTP) or unshielded (UTP) twisted pairs.
