MAX9217ECM

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX9217ECM is a serializer integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It converts 27 parallel LVCMOS or LVTTL inputs into a single LVDS output stream at data rates up to 700Mbps. The device operates on a 3V to 3.6V supply and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It is housed in a 48-LQFP (7x7) surface-mount package. This component functions as the transmitter side of a SerDes pair, designed for robust video transmission over twisted-pair cables.

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as this part number may be subject to end-of-life notices. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade. Check for authorized distributor channels to ensure authenticity. Review the latest datasheet revision for any pinout or electrical characteristic updates before finalizing procurement orders.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this component when a serializer is required to drive a matched deserializer like the MAX9218. Ensure the system design accommodates the 48-LQFP footprint and thermal requirements. Verify that the input signal levels align with LVCMOS or LVTTL standards. Consider the total link budget and cable length constraints associated with the LVDS output stage.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX9217/MAX9218 family of serializers and deserializers. It serves as the transmitter counterpart to the MAX9218 deserializer. The series is engineered for low-cost, high-reliability video transport over twisted-pair cabling, commonly utilized in applications where board-to-board connectors are impractical due to distance or mechanical stress.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers include MAX9217ETM+T. Verify compatibility regarding package dimensions and pin assignments before substitution.
