MAX9286GTN+

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX9286GTN+V is a quad 1.5Gbps Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) deserializer designed for high-speed video transmission in automotive and industrial environments. It receives data from up to four GMSL serializers via 50Ω coaxial or 100Ω shielded twisted-pair cables and outputs the data on four CSI-2 lanes. The device supports a control channel operating between 9.6kbps and 1Mbps, enabling independent programming of registers. It features a programmable cable equalizer, error detection, and correction capabilities. Power requirements include a core supply of 1.7V to 1.9V and an I/O supply of 1.7V to 3.6V. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package suffix against official documentation to confirm pinout and thermal pad configuration. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required lead-free status and RoHS compliance specifications. Confirm that the supplier provides valid traceability for automotive-grade components. Check for any specific handling instructions related to the exposed pad design during assembly.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multi-camera synchronization and high-bandwidth video transmission over existing cabling infrastructure. Evaluate the need for programmable equalization if cable lengths approach maximum operational limits. Consider the control channel flexibility for integrating various peripheral devices and image sensors within the same serial link architecture.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

The MAX9286 belongs to the GMSL family of serializers and deserializers developed by Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. This series addresses the increasing bandwidth demands of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and infotainment by replacing complex parallel interfaces with simple serial links. The device simplifies system design by reducing wiring complexity while maintaining high data throughput and reliability.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct functional equivalents within the GMSL product line that offer similar channel counts and interface types. Verify compatibility with existing serializer components regarding control channel protocols and CSI-2 output configurations before substitution.
