MAX9208EAI+T

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX9208EAI+T is a 10-bit bus LVDS deserializer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It transforms high-speed serial BLVDS data streams into 10-bit-wide parallel LVCMOS/LVTTL data and clock signals. The device operates with a reference clock range of 40MHz to 66MHz, supporting serial data throughput up to 600Mbps. It functions within a supply voltage range of +3.0V to +3.6V and is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package.

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts and power supply specifications before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by regulatory standards.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this model when a reference clock frequency between 40MHz and 66MHz is required. It is appropriate for systems needing up to 600Mbps throughput. Verify that the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C temperature range and utilizes a single +3.3V supply.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX9206/MAX9208 family of 10-bit bus LVDS deserializers. It pairs with serializers like the MAX9205/MAX9207 to form complete serial links. The MAX9208 variant is optimized for higher frequency ranges compared to the MAX9206, supporting faster data rates over twisted-pair cables or PCB traces.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

The datasheet notes pin compatibility with the DS92LV1212A and DS92LV1224. Verify electrical characteristics and timing requirements against these alternatives before substitution.
