MAX9247ECM/V+

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX9247ECM/V+ is a digital video parallel-to-serial converter that serializes 27 bits of parallel data into an LVDS stream. It encodes 18 bits of RGB video and 9 bits of control data, reducing the serial-data rate via proprietary DC-balanced encoding. The device operates with a +3.3V core supply and a separate input supply for 1.8V to 3.3V logic interfacing. It supports parallel clock frequencies from 2.5MHz to 42MHz, corresponding to serial data rates up to 840Mbps. The component is housed in a 48-lead LQFP package and is specified for operation between -40°C and +85°C.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Proprietary data encoding maintains DC balance and reduces electromagnetic interference.
• Integrated preemphasis improves signal integrity and eye diagram performance at the output.
• Five control data inputs provide single-bit-error tolerance for robust signal recovery.
• ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD protection ensures reliability in harsh environments.

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

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

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ECM/V+' against the manufacturer's current ordering information to confirm the exact temperature range and automotive qualification status. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability documentation for lead-free compliance. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date with the delivered component marking to ensure technical specifications match the intended design requirements.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this serializer when pairing with MAX9248 or MAX9250 deserializers for complete digital video links. Verify that the application requires a 48-lead LQFP package and operates within the -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Confirm that the parallel clock frequency falls within the 2.5MHz to 42MHz range supported by the ECM variant. Ensure the system design accommodates the separate VCCIN supply for logic level translation.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX9247 series of high-speed serializers designed for digital video transmission. It functions as the transmitting end of a SerDes link, converting parallel RGB and control data into a serialized LVDS format. The device is engineered to work in conjunction with specific Maxim Integrated deserializers to form a complete video interconnect solution for automotive and industrial display applications.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

The MAX9247GCM+ serves as a higher temperature range alternative (-40°C to +105°C). Both devices share identical pinouts and functional characteristics but differ in their specified operating temperature limits. Verify thermal requirements before substituting the ECM variant with the GCM version.
