MAX96737ADGTN/V+

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The MAX96737ADGTN/V+ is a GMSL2 serializer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (Maxim Integrated). It converts four LVDS differential input channels into a single high-speed serial output stream at data rates up to 6 Gbps. The device supports embedded power delivery over the coaxial cable link and integrates an I2C interface for configuration. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.85 V to 3.45 V and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +105°C. The component is housed in a compact 48-pin TQFN package with an exposed pad, designed for surface-mount assembly.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Supports four independent LVDS input lanes for video data transmission
• Integrates a high-speed serializer capable of 6 Gbps per lane
• Provides bidirectional I2C communication channel for control and status
• Includes integrated charge pump for generating required internal voltages

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

• Automotive surround view camera systems
• In-vehicle infotainment display interfaces
• Advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) sensor links
• Digital cockpit monitoring solutions

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V+' indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance status before ordering. Confirm the 'A' grade designation matches the required operating temperature range for your application environment. Ensure the TQFN-48 package footprint aligns with your PCB layout guidelines. Check current availability through authorized distributors as supply levels may fluctuate.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this model when a four-channel serializer is required for GMSL2 compliant links. Consider the 6 Gbps speed capability against the bandwidth requirements of the connected image sensors. Evaluate the thermal performance of the TQFN package for your specific enclosure constraints. Verify compatibility with downstream deserializers that support the same GMSL2 protocol version.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This component belongs to the Maxim Integrated GMSL2 family of serializers. It is part of a broader ecosystem including compatible deserializers such as the MAX96705 or MAX96712 series. These devices are commonly used together to form robust, long-distance interconnects within vehicle architectures. The MAX96737 specifically addresses the need for multi-camera integration in modern automotive designs.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other GMSL2 serializers like the MAX96735 or MAX96745 if pinout and feature sets are compatible. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 4-lane LVDS input count and 6 Gbps serialization rate. Ensure the alternative device supports the same embedded power delivery specifications.
