MAX9210EUM+T

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX9210EUM+T is a deserializer that converts three LVDS serial data inputs into 21 single-ended LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs. It operates with a parallel rate LVDS clock and supports frequencies from 8MHz to 34MHz in DC-balanced mode, or 10MHz to 40MHz in non-DC-balanced mode. The device accepts a +3.3V main power supply (VCC) and allows separate output logic levels ranging from 1.8V to 5V via the VCCO pin. It features programmable DC balance for AC-coupling compatibility, high-impedance outputs when powered down, and fail-safe inputs in non-DC-balanced mode. The component is housed in a low-profile 48-lead TSSOP package and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Programmable DC balance enables AC-coupling for wider input common-mode voltage ranges
• Separate output supply pins allow interface to 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic levels
• High-impedance outputs when PWRDWN is low allow output busing
• LVDS inputs meet IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD specifications

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

• Digital Copiers
• Laser Printers

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets. Ensure the component matches the required 48-lead TSSOP footprint. Check for obsolescence notices as this series may have discontinued variants. Validate supplier authenticity before procurement.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select the MAX9210EUM+T when rising-edge output strobes are required for system timing. Choose this part over the MAX9220 variant if lower frequency operation up to 34MHz is sufficient. Verify compatibility with companion serializers like the MAX9209 or MAX9213. Ensure the design accommodates the specific DC-balance programming requirements via the DCB/NC pin.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX9210/MAX9214/MAX9220/MAX9222 family of programmable DC-balance 21-bit deserializers manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. These devices are designed to work in conjunction with specific serializer counterparts to form complete LVDS transmission links. The MAX9210 specifically provides rising-edge strobing and slower output transitions to reduce electromagnetic interference compared to higher-speed variants.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

The MAX9214EUM+T serves as a pin-compatible alternative within the same family, offering higher frequency support up to 66MHz. Designers must verify that the increased speed capabilities align with their system requirements. Other family members like the MAX9220 provide falling-edge strobes instead.
