Low-Power, Single-Link, 10-/22-Bit Serializer/Deserializer Chipsets Are Ideal for Cell Phones, Digital Copiers, and Laser Printers
SUNNYVALE, CA-November 1, 2005-Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) introduces two new chipsets, the MAX9225*/MAX9226* (10 bit) and the MAX9223/MAX9224 (22-bit) low-power LCDS (low-current differential signaling) serializers and deserializers. The chipsets communicate over a single twisted pair or differential line, which simplifies design, reduces cost, and improves EMI. The chipsets are ideal for 'clamshell,' multimedia, and PDA cell phones, as well as digital copiers and laser printers.
The MAX9225 serializes 8 bits of LVTTL/LVCMOS RGB digital video data, 2 bits of LVTTL/LVCMOS control data, and a clock into a single LCDS serial clock and data stream. The MAX9226 deserializes a single LCDS serial input into 10 single-ended LVTTL/LVCMOS outputs.
The MAX9223 serializes 18 bits of LVTTL/LVCMOS RGB digital video data, 4 bits of LVTTL/LVCMOS control data, and a clock into a single LCDS serial clock and data stream. The MAX9224 deserializes a single LCDS serial input into 22 single-ended LVTTL/LVCMOS outputs.
These SERDES chipsets provide a significant savings in space and cost. They reduce the number of interconnect wires in clamshell phones from 11 to 2 (MAX9225/MAX9226) or from 23 to 2 (MAX9223/MAX9224). The MAX9225/MAX9226 chipset is ideal for interfacing to image sensors with
8-bit-wide data output, and for simplifying data transmission in digital copiers and laser printers. The MAX9223/MAX9224 are ideal for driving 320 x 240 resolution QVGA and QCIF LCD displays in cell phones, digital copiers, and laser printers.
These SERDES operate from a 2.5V or 3.3V core supply and feature a separate supply for interfacing to 1.8V to 3.3V logic levels. All devices are specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C. Inputs and outputs meet ±15kV HBM (Human Body Model) ESD protection.
The MAX9225/MAX9226 are available in a 16-pin, 3mm x 3mm TQFN package, while the MAX9223/MAX9224 are available in a 28-pin, 4mm x 4mm TQFN package. Prices start at $0.76 for the MAX9225/MAX9226 and $1.09 for the MAX9223/MAX9224 (25,000-up, FOB USA).
