MAX9277GTM+

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX9277GTM+ is a Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) serializer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It converts parallel LVDS input data into a high-speed serial CML output, supporting up to 3.12Gbps. The device accepts 3- or 4-data lane LVDS inputs and features programmable outputs for either 50Ω coaxial cable or 100Ω shielded twisted pair (STP). Power requirements include a core supply of 1.7V to 1.9V and an I/O supply of 1.7V to 3.6V. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Supports high-bandwidth video modes including 1920x720p/60Hz with 24-bit color
• Enables long-distance transmission via programmable pre/deemphasis drivers
• Provides flexible audio channel support for stereo and multi-channel TDM formats
• Includes embedded control channels for UART and I2C communication

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

• High-resolution automotive navigation systems
• Rear-seat infotainment displays
• Megapixel camera systems in vehicles

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GTM+' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package type and lead finish specifications. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels and interface requirements before procurement. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as stock status varies.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this component when a GMSL serializer is required for driving coaxial or STP cables from a camera source. Verify that the deserializer in the link supports the selected cable impedance. Check if HDCP protection is needed; if so, consider the MAX9281 variant instead.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX9277/MAX9281 family of GMSL serializers designed for automotive applications. It pairs with compatible GMSL deserializers to transmit high-definition video and audio over single cables. The MAX9281 is functionally identical but includes HDCP content protection capabilities.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

The MAX9281GTM+ is a direct functional replacement that adds HDCP support. Other GMSL serializers may require significant circuit redesign due to pinout or protocol differences.
