Maxim MAX9217 27‑Bit 3MHz‑to‑35MHz DC‑Balanced LVDS Serializer Datasheet
The MAX9217 is a 27‑bit digital video parallel‑to‑serial converter that serializes 18 bits of video data and 9 bits of control data onto a LVDS output. It operates from a +3.3 V core supply, supports a parallel clock of 3 MHz to 35 MHz, and provides DC balance and EMI reduction through proprietary encoding. The device pairs with the MAX9218 deserializer to form a complete digital video link for applications such as navigation displays, in‑vehicle entertainment, video cameras, and LCD panels.
The serializer is offered in 48‑lead Thin QFN‑EP and LQFP packages, rated for –40 °C to +85 °C operation, and includes an integrated 100 Ω termination resistor with optional common‑mode filtering. ESD protection meets ISO 10605 (±10 kV contact, ±30 kV air). Detailed electrical specifications, timing parameters, and layout recommendations are provided for designers.
