MAX9278AGTM/VY+

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX9278AGTM/VY+ 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 capability, and two GPIO ports.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Enables long-distance transmission via programmable equalization for cables up to 15 meters
• Provides embedded control channel operation in UART-to-UART, UART-to-I2C, or I2C-to-I2C modes
• Includes built-in PRBS tester for serial link BER testing and verification

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

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

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VY+' against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free certification details directly with Analog Devices before finalizing procurement orders.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this component when utilizing GMSL serializers with coaxial or STP inputs requiring LVDS parallel outputs. Ensure system requirements align with the 3.12Gbps maximum data rate and the -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range. Verify compatibility with existing display interfaces and audio sampling needs.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX9278A/MAX9282A family of gigabit multimedia serial link deserializers. The MAX9282A variant offers identical functionality but adds HDCP content protection capabilities. Both devices are designed to pair with any GMSL serializer capable of coax output.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

The MAX9282A is functionally equivalent but includes HDCP content protection. Other GMSL deserializers may require significant circuit redesign due to differences in pinout, data rates, or supported cable types.
