MAX9278

MAX9278/MAX9282 3.12Gbps GMSL Deserializers for Coax or STP Input and LVDS Output General Description The MAX9278/MAX9282 gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL) deserializers receive data from a GMSL serializer over 50Ω coax or 100Ω shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable and output deserialized data on 3 of 4 data-lane LVDS outputs (oLDI). The MAX9282 has HDCP content protection but otherwise is the same as the MAX9278. The deserializers pair with any GMSL serializer capable of coax output. When programmed for STP input, they are backward compatible with any GMSL serializer. The audio channel supports L-PCM I2S stereo and up to eight channels of L-PCM in TDM mode. Sample rates of 32kHz to 192kHz are supported with sample depth up to 32 bits. The embedded control channel operates at 9.6kbps to 1Mbps in UART-to-UART and UART-to-I2C modes, and up to 1Mbps in I2C-to-I2C mode. Using the control channel, a µC can program serializer, deserializer, and peripheral device registers at any time, i...
