MAX9218ECM+T

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX9218ECM+T is a digital video serializer/deserializer component manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It functions as a DC-balanced LVDS deserializer that converts serial data into parallel outputs. The device operates with a parallel clock frequency ranging from 7MHz to 35MHz, supporting a maximum serial data rate of 700Mbps. It deserializes a total of 27 bits per cycle, dividing the output into 18 bits of RGB video data and 9 bits of control data. The unit utilizes a +3.3V core supply voltage and accepts an output supply voltage (VCCO) between 1.71V and 3.6V to interface with logic levels from 1.8V to 3.3V. It is housed in a 48-lead LQFP package and is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Proprietary data decoding mechanism ensures DC balance and reduces electromagnetic interference.
• Control data is deserialized during video blanking periods to optimize bandwidth usage.
• Five control data inputs provide single-bit-error tolerance through majority voting.
• Output transition times are scaled to the operating frequency to minimize EMI.

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

• Navigation system displays
• In-vehicle entertainment systems
• Video cameras
• LCD displays

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the procurement channel sources directly from authorized distributors or the manufacturer to guarantee authenticity. Cross-reference the part number with current production status notices, as availability may be subject to change or end-of-life notifications.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this component when a DC-balanced LVDS deserializer is required for automotive or industrial video applications. Ensure the system design accommodates the 48-lead LQFP footprint and provides separate power domains for VCC, VCCO, VCCLVDS, and VCCPLL. Verify that the reference clock frequency falls within the ±2% tolerance relative to the serializer's parallel clock input.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX9218 series of serializers and deserializers designed for digital video transmission. It pairs specifically with the MAX9217 serializer to form a complete transmission system over twisted-pair cables. The MAX9218ECM+T variant denotes the lead-free, RoHS-compliant version packaged in a 48-lead LQFP format suitable for surface-mount assembly.
