Description

The MAX9259/MAX9260 chipset presents Maxim's gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL) technology. The MAX9259 serializer pairs with the MAX9260 deserializer to form a complete digital serial link for joint transmission of high-speed video, audio, and control data.

The MAX9259/MAX9260 allow 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 I²S input, supporting 4- to 32-bit audio word lengths and an 8kHz to 192kHz sample rate. The embedded control channel forms a full-duplex, differential 100kbps to 1Mbps UART link between the serializer and deserializer. The host electronic control unit (ECU) or microcontroller (µC) resides either on the MAX9259 (for video display) or on the MAX9260 (for image sensing). In addition, the control channel enables ECU/µC control of peripherals in the remote side of the serial link through I²C (base mode) or a user-defined full-duplex UART format (bypass mode).

The MAX9259 serializer driver preemphasis and channel equalizer on the MAX9260 extend the link length and enhance the link reliability. Spread spectrum is available on the MAX9259/MAX9260 to reduce EMI on the serial and parallel output data signals. The differential link complies with the ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD-protection standards.

The core supplies for the MAX9259/MAX9260 are 1.8V and 3.3V, respectively. Both devices use an I/O supply from 1.8V to 3.3V. These devices are available in a 64-pin TQFP package (10mm x 10mm) and a 56-pin TQFN package (8mm x 8mm x 0.75mm) with an exposed pad. Electrical performance is guaranteed over the -40°C to +105°C automotive temperature range.
