MAX9280AGTN+T

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX9280AGTN+T is a GMSL deserializer that receives data from a serializer over 50Ω coax or 100Ω STP cable and outputs deserialized data on LVCMOS ports. It features HDCP content protection, supports up to 3.12Gbps serial-bit rate, and handles audio with sample rates of 32kHz to 192kHz at 32-bit depth. The core supply ranges from 3.0V to 3.6V, while the I/O supply ranges from 1.7V to 3.6V. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and is housed in a 56-pin, 8mm x 8mm TQFN package.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• HDCP content protection for secure video transmission
• Programmable equalizer for long cable applications
• Embedded control channel for independent register programming
• Built-in PRBS tester for link verification

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

• High-Resolution Automotive Navigation
• Rear-Seat Infotainment
• Megapixel Camera Systems

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet before procurement. Confirm the specific package variant (TQFN vs SWTQFN) matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the component meets the required automotive or industrial qualification standards for your specific deployment environment.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this model when HDCP compliance is mandatory for the video link. Compare it with the MAX9276A if content protection is not needed. Verify that the parallel output interface aligns with the display controller's input specifications. Check power supply constraints to ensure compatibility with the specified core and I/O voltage ranges.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX9276A/MAX9280A family of gigabit multimedia serial link deserializers. It is designed to pair with GMSL serializers, such as the MAX9293 HDMI/MHL serializer. The MAX9280A shares identical functionality with the MAX9276A except for the inclusion of HDCP content protection capabilities.

Serializers, Deserializers FAQ

What is the primary difference between the MAX9280A and the MAX9276A?

The MAX9280A includes HDCP content protection, whereas the MAX9276A does not.

Can the MAX9280A operate with shielded twisted-pair cables?

Yes, it can receive data over 100Ω shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables when programmed accordingly.

How does the embedded control channel function?

It allows a microcontroller to program registers independently of video timing, supporting UART-to-UART, UART-to-I2C, and I2C-to-I2C modes.
