The MAX9257A/MAX9258A is a fully programmable serializer/deserializer with UART/I2C control channel
The MAX9257A serializer and MAX9258A deserializer form a complete digital video serial link. They provide programmable parallel data width, spread spectrum, pre‑emphasis, and an integrated UART/I²C control channel that eliminates the need for external CAN or LIN interfaces.
Key specifications include a maximum serial‑data rate of 840 Mbps, operating temperature from –40 °C to +105 °C, a 3.3 V core supply with 1.8 V‑3.3 V I/O levels, and programmable parallel data widths of 10, 12, 14, 16, or 18 bits. The devices support pixel clocks from 5 MHz to 70 MHz and are available in 40‑lead TQFN and 48‑pin LQFP packages.
