The MAX9249 serializer with LVDS system interface utilizes Maxim’s Gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL) technology. It pairs with any GMSL deserializer to form a complete digital serial link for joint transmission of high-speed video, audio, and control data. It supports various display panels and has a maximum data rate of 2.5Gbps.
The MAX9249 is a Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) serializer with an LVDS system interface. It pairs with any GMSL deserializer to form a complete digital link for high‑speed video, audio, and control data transmission. The device supports display resolutions from QVGA to WXGA and higher, with 24‑bit color, and offers both 3‑channel and 4‑channel LVDS modes.
Key features include a maximum payload data rate of 2.5 Gbps, clock rates up to 104 MHz (3‑channel) or 78 MHz (4‑channel), spread‑spectrum EMI reduction, built‑in PRBS generator for BER testing, and an embedded half‑/full‑duplex UART control channel. The serializer operates over an automotive temperature range and is supplied in a 48‑pin TQFP package.
