MAX9268

19-5211; Rev 2; 1/11 TION KIT EVALUA BLE AVAILA Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link Deserializer with LVDS System Interface MAX9268 General Description The MAX9268 deserializer utilizes Maxim’s gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL) technology. The MAX9268 deserializer features an LVDS system interface for reduced pin count and a smaller package, and pairs with any GMSL serializer to form a complete digital serial link for joint transmission of high-speed video, audio, and bidirectional control data. The MAX9268 allows a maximum serial payload data rate of 2.5Gbps for a 15m shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable. The deserializer operates up to a maximum output clock rate of 104MHz (3-channel LVDS) or 78MHz (4-channel LVDS). This serial link supports display panels from QVGA (320 x 240) to WXGA (1280 x 800) and higher with 24-bit color. The 3-channel mode outputs an LVDS clock, three lanes of LVDS data (21 bits), UART control signals, and one I2S audio channel consisting of three signals. The 4-channel mode outputs an LVDS clock, four lanes of LVDS data (28 bits), UART control signals, an I2S audio channel, and auxiliary control outputs. The three audio outputs form a standard I2S interface, supporting sample rates from 8kHz to 192kHz and audio word lengths of 4 to 32 bits. The embedded control channel forms a full-duplex, differential, 100kbps to 1Mbps UART link between the serializer and deserializer. An electronic control unit (ECU), or microcontroller (FC), can be located on the s...
