Gigabit Multimedia Deserializer with Spread
Spectrum and Full-Duplex Control Channel
General Description
The MAX9270 deserializer uses Maxim’s gigabit
multimedia serial link (GMSL) technology. The device
functions the same as the MAX9260 deserializer without
an output enable (ENABLE) pin. Outputs are enabled
or disabled by a register bit. The deserializer pairs with
any GMSL serializer to form a complete digital serial link
for joint transmission of high-speed video, audio, and
control data.
The deserializer accepts a maximum serial payload
data rate of 2.5Gbps for a 15m shielded twisted-pair
(STP) cable. The 24-bit or 32-bit width parallel interface
operates up to a maximum bus clock of 104MHz or
78MHz, respectively. This serial link supports display
panels from QVGA (320 x 240) up to XGA (1280 x 768),
or dual-view WVGA (2 x 854 x 480).
The 24-bit or 32-bit mode handles 21 or 29 bits of data,
along with an I
2
S input, supporting 4- to 32-bit audio
word lengths and an 8kHz to 192kHz sample rate. The
embedded control channel forms a full-duplex, differen-
tial 100kbps to 1Mbps UART link between the serializer
and deserializer. The host electronic control unit (ECU)
or microcontroller (FC) resides either on the serializer (for
video display) or the deserializer (for image sensing). In
addition, the control channel enables ECU/FC control of
peripherals in the remote side of the serial link through
I
2
C (base mode) or a user-defined full-duplex UART
format (bypass mode).
The channel equalizer extends the link length and
enhances the link reliability. Spread spectrum is avail-
able to reduce EMI on the parallel output data signals.
The differential link complies with the ISO 10605 and IEC
61000-4-2 ESD-protection standards.
This device uses a 3.3V core supply and a 1.8V to 3.3V
I/O supply. The device is available in a 56-pin TQFN
package (8mm x 8mm x 0.75mm) with an exposed pad.
Electrical performance is guaranteed over the -40NC to
+105NC automotive temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute
