MAX9273GTL+T

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX9273GTL+T is a 22-bit GMSL serializer designed for driving 50Ω coaxial or 100Ω shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. It operates with a serial data rate up to 1.5Gbps and supports parallel input clock frequencies from 6.25MHz to 100MHz in single or dual-lane modes. The device features an embedded control channel supporting UART or I²C protocols at speeds up to 1Mbps, allowing independent register configuration. It includes programmable pre-emphasis/de-emphasis, spread spectrum modulation for EMI reduction, and error detection/correction capabilities. Powered by 1.7V to 1.9V core and 1.7V to 3.6V I/O supplies, it functions within a -40°C to +105°C temperature range.

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GTL' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the paired deserializer, such as the MAX9272, for system integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's certification records prior to procurement.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this component when long-distance video transmission over coaxial or STP cables is required in automotive or industrial environments. It is suitable for applications needing high-speed serial conversion of parallel sensor data with robust error handling. Consider the paired deserializer requirements and control channel topology during system design.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

The MAX9273 belongs to the GMSL family of serializers developed by Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. It is specifically engineered to interface with image sensors and drive display units over long cable runs. The device complements deserializers like the MAX9272 to form complete point-to-point video links.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include the MAX9271 for 16-bit applications and the MAX9291/MAX9293 for higher speed 3.12Gbps requirements. Verify pinout and register compatibility before substitution.
