What are the key features of MAX9979KCTK+D?
- Dual-channel 1.1 Gbps per-pin data rate supporting high-speed ATE stimulus and measurement
- Integrated 16-bit level-setting DACs enabling precise voltage-level calibration without external components
- Integrated PMU (parametric measurement unit) combining force/measure capability in a single 68-pin QFN footprint
What is MAX9979KCTK+D used for?
The MAX9979KCTK+D is designed for automated test equipment (ATE) systems that require high-speed digital pin electronics with built-in parametric measurement capability. It enables simultaneous stimulus and measurement on two independent channels at data rates up to 1.1 Gbps, making it suitable for testing high-speed memory, SoC devices, and communication ICs. System integrators benefit from the integrated PMU and 16-bit DACs, which reduce external component count and PCB area in test head designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What per-channel data rate does the MAX9979KCTK+D support, and what device types can it test?
Each channel of the MAX9979KCTK+D supports data rates up to 1.1 Gbps, making it suitable for testing DDR memory interfaces, high-speed serial logic, and communication ICs that operate at rates between 100 Mbps and 1.1 Gbps in production ATE environments.
How does the integrated 16-bit DAC in MAX9979KCTK+D improve ATE calibration accuracy versus discrete level-setting circuits?
The on-chip 16-bit level-setting DAC provides sub-millivolt voltage resolution across the operating range, eliminating external trim resistor networks and reducing system calibration time. This allows the ATE system to set VOH, VOL, VIH, and VIL levels with better than 0.1 mV precision directly from a serial digital interface.
What supply voltages and package does the MAX9979KCTK+D require for a standard ATE test head design?
The MAX9979KCTK+D requires a negative supply of -4.75 V along with positive supply rails appropriate for pin electronics operation. It is housed in a 68-pin QFN (LFCSP) package measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 0.75 mm, which integrates into space-constrained test head PCBs with a compact thermal pad for heat dissipation.
