MAX96717FGTJ/VY+

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX96717FGTJ/VY+ 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 tunneling, an internal ADC, and temperature sensors. Rated for automotive temperatures from -40°C to +105°C, it is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified and housed in a compact 5mm x 5mm TQFN package.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Provides ASIL-B compliant functional safety features including end-to-end data integrity protection via CRC and R-S FEC.
• Features adaptive equalization to auto-adapt to changes in channel conditions and insertion loss up to -19.5dB at 1.5GHz.
• Enables crystal-free operation through Reference Over Reverse (RoR) clocking while generating reference clocks for image sensors.

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

• Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
• LiDAR and RADAR systems
• 4Mp 40fps Forward-Vision Camera (FVC) systems
• Surround View Systems (SVS)
• Driver Monitor Systems (DMS)

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix GTJ/VY+ against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the intended deserializer model for proper link establishment. Confirm that the component meets the required AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification standards for your specific automotive application environment.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 3Gbps forward link speed is sufficient for the video resolution requirements. It is suitable for applications requiring robust functional safety diagnostics and ASIL-B compliance. Consider this part if the system design benefits from integrated ADC and temperature monitoring capabilities to reduce external component count.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX96717 family of GMSL serializers. While the base MAX96717 supports higher speeds, the MAX96717F variant is specifically optimized for 3Gbps forward transmission. It shares the same die as other variants but offers distinct feature sets tailored for specific bandwidth and cost constraints within automotive camera networks.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify pinout and electrical characteristics carefully if considering alternative serializers from different manufacturers for direct replacement.

Serializers, Deserializers FAQ

What cable types are supported by the MAX96717F?

The device supports data transmission over low-cost 50Ω coaxial cables or 100Ω shielded twisted pair (STP) cables that meet the GMSL2 channel specification.

How is the device programmed?

The MAX96717F can be programmed through a local I2C/UART interface or across the link from a matching deserializer.

Does the MAX96717F support crystal-free operation?

Yes, it supports Reference Over Reverse (RoR) clocking, which allows for crystal-free operation by deriving the reference clock from the reverse signal.
