MAX96717FGTJ/V+T

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX96717FGTJ/V+T is a GMSL2 serializer that receives video on a MIPI CSI-2 interface and outputs it on a GMSL2 serial link transceiver. It operates at a fixed forward rate of 3Gbps and a reverse rate of 187.5Mbps. The device supports four-lane D-PHY MIPI CSI-2 v1.3 inputs with 16 virtual channels. It includes two I2C/UART pass-through channels, flexible GPIO, SPI tunnel, built-in ADC, temperature sensor, and functional safety diagnostics. It is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified for automotive use from -40°C to +105°C.
