MAX9217ECM+T

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX9217ECM+T is a digital video parallel-to-serial converter that serializes 27 bits of parallel data into a serial data stream. It encodes and multiplexes eighteen bits of video data and nine bits of control data onto the serial interface, reducing the serial data rate. The device operates from a +3.3V core supply with a separate input supply for interfacing to 1.8V to 3.3V logic levels. It features an integrated 100Ω LVDS output termination and supports AC-coupling for isolation. The component is specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Proprietary data encoding ensures DC balance and reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Control data transmission occurs during video blanking periods with single-bit-error tolerance for specific inputs.
• Includes an output common-mode filter capability to further reduce EMI emissions.
• Provides robust drive capabilities exceeding 10 meters on shielded twisted-pair cable.

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

• Navigation System Display
• In-Vehicle Entertainment System
• Video Camera
• LCD Displays

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation before procurement. Confirm package type compatibility, as the base model number may correspond to different physical packages such as LQFP or Thin QFN. Ensure the specific variant matches the required temperature range and voltage specifications for the target application environment.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this serializer when pairing with the MAX9218 deserializer for complete digital video links. Consider the wide reference clock tolerance and separate input supply requirements for systems interfacing with varying logic levels. Evaluate the need for AC-coupling versus DC-coupling based on ground shift and noise isolation requirements in the interconnect design.
