MAX9278AGTM/V+T

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX9278AGTM/V+T is a GMSL deserializer that receives data from a serializer over 50Ω coax or 100Ω STP cable and outputs deserialized data on three of four LVDS lanes. It supports serial bit rates up to 3.12Gbps with pixel clocks ranging from 6.25MHz to 104MHz. The core supply voltage is 3.0V to 3.6V, while the I/O supply operates between 1.7V and 3.6V. Audio channels support sample rates from 32kHz to 192kHz with depths up to 32 bits. The device includes a programmable cable equalizer, spread spectrum generation, and an embedded control channel operating at 9.6kbps to 1Mbps.

• Megapixel Camera Systems

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet before procurement. Suffixes such as VY or IV indicate specific package variations or pin configurations. Confirm the component status directly with authorized distributors, as availability may be restricted or subject to factory special orders. Ensure the requested part matches the required automotive grade specifications.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this deserializer when pairing with GMSL serializers capable of coax output. Program the device for STP input to ensure backward compatibility with any GMSL serializer. Consider the MAX9282A if HDCP content protection is required, as it shares identical functionality otherwise. Verify that the system requires three active LVDS output lanes for the specific video application.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX9278A/MAX9282A family of gigabit multimedia serial link deserializers manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. These devices are designed for robust automotive and industrial environments, featuring rigorous ESD protection standards. The family supports flexible audio and video transmission over standard cabling solutions used in vehicle architectures.
