MAX9288GTM+

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX9288GTM+ is a gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL) deserializer designed to receive serialized data from GMSL serializers over 50Ω coaxial or 100Ω shielded twisted-pair cables. It outputs deserialized data via four MIPI CSI-2 lanes, supporting up to 1Gbps per lane with a total serial bit rate of 3.12Gbps. The device features a programmable cable equalizer for links up to 15 meters and supports pixel clocks from 6.25MHz to 104MHz. It includes an embedded control channel operating at 9.6kbps to 1Mbps in UART-to-UART, UART-to-I2C, or I2C-to-I2C modes. Audio support includes L-PCM I2S stereo and up to eight channels of L-PCM in TDM mode with sample rates from 32kHz to 192kHz and depths up to 32 bits. Power supplies are 3.0V–3.6V for GMSL, 1.7V–1.9V for MIPI CSI-2, and 1.7V–3.6V for I/O.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Supports high-definition video transmission with 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 output and backward compatibility with GMSL serializers.
• Includes a programmable cable equalizer to maintain signal integrity over long cable runs.
• Features a flexible reverse control channel for register programming and peripheral management independent of video timing.
• Provides dedicated GPIO ports and a continuously sampled GPI input for system power-up and touch-screen interrupt handling.

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

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

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct package type and temperature rating. Confirm that the component meets all required automotive qualification standards if used in safety-critical applications. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet revision to ensure compatibility with existing design specifications.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this deserializer when interfacing with GMSL serializers using coaxial or STP cabling for high-bandwidth video applications. Ensure the system design accommodates the required voltage domains for GMSL, MIPI CSI-2, and I/O interfaces. Consider the MAX9290 variant if High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) functionality is required for secure content playback.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

The MAX9288 is part of the GMSL family of deserializers developed by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It pairs with compatible GMSL serializers to form a complete multimedia serial link solution. The device is distinct from the MAX9290, which adds HDCP support, while sharing identical core deserialization and interface capabilities.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

The MAX9290 is functionally equivalent regarding deserialization but includes HDCP content protection. Verify if encryption features are necessary before substituting. No other direct pin-compatible replacements are documented in the provided source material.
