MAX96714GTJ/VY+

Overview

The MAX96714GTJ/VY+ is a single GMSL2/GMSL1 to CSI-2 deserializer designed for automotive applications. It converts high-speed serial video data into MIPI CSI-2 parallel output. The device operates at fixed forward link rates of 3Gbps or 6Gbps and supports a reverse control channel rate of 187.5Mbps. It features one GMSL input and five MIPI CSI-2 outputs, supporting up to 8MP imagers. Power supply ranges include VDD (0.95V to 1.05V or 1.14V to 1.26V), VDD18 (1.7V to 1.9V), and VDDIO (1.7V to 3.6V). It functions within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and is housed in a 32-pin TQFN-SW package.

Feature Summary

• Supports ASIL-B compliance in GMSL2 mode with decomposition capabilities.
• Enables crystal-free serializer operation via Reference over Reverse (RoR) technology.
• Provides auto-adaptive equalization to compensate for changes in channel conditions.

Applications

• Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
• Forward Vision Camera Systems (FVC)
• Rear View Camera (RVC)
• Driver-Monitor Systems (DMS)

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm RoHS status and package variant. Confirm that the component meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements for your target automotive environment. Ensure the design accommodates the specified power supply voltage tolerances and thermal dissipation limits for the TQFN-SW package.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a single GMSL2 link is required to drive a MIPI CSI-2 interface with ASIL-B functional safety certification. Consider the MAX96714F if a lower 3Gbps forward rate is sufficient, or the MAX96714R for non-safety-critical applications requiring I2C-only control. Verify cable length constraints based on the selected forward data rate and attenuation characteristics.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX96714 family of Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) deserializers. It is specifically engineered to replace discrete serializer/deserializer solutions in compact automotive camera modules. The device integrates advanced signal processing to maintain link integrity over standard coaxial or shielded twisted pair cables used in vehicle architectures.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX96714FGTJ/VY+ serves as a direct substitute offering identical functionality but limited to a 3Gbps forward link rate. For applications not requiring ASIL-B certification, the MAX96714RTJ/VY+ provides a compatible alternative with reduced feature sets. Cross-check pin compatibility and register maps before implementation.

FAQ
