The MAX9257A serializer pairs with the MAX9258A deserializer to form a complete digital video serial link. The MAX9257A/MAX9258A feature programmable parallel data width, parallel clock frequency range, spread spectrum, and preemphasis. An integrated control channel transfers data bidirectionally at power-up during video blanking over the same differential pair used for video data. This feature eliminates the need for external CAN or LIN interface for diagnostics or programming. The clock is recovered from input serial data at MAX9258A, hence eliminating the need for an external reference clock.The MAX9257A serializes 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 bits with the addition of two encoding bits for AC-coupling. The MAX9258A deserializer links with the MAX9257A to deserialize a maximum of 20 (data + encoding) bits per pixel/parallel clock period for a maximum serial-data rate of 840Mbps. The word length can be adjusted to accommodate a higher pixel/parallel clock frequency. The pixel clock can vary from 5MHz to 70MHz, depending on the serial-word length. Enabling parity adds two parity bits to the serial word. The encoding bits reduce ISI and allow AC-coupling.The MAX9258A receives programming instructions from the electronic control unit (ECU) during the control channel and transmits to the MAX9257A over the serial video link. The instructions can program or update the MAX9257A, MAX9258A, or an external peripheral device, such as a camera. The MAX9257A communicates with the peripheral device with I²C or UART.The MAX9257A/MAX9258A operate from a +3.3V core supply and feature separate supplies for interfacing to +1.8V to +3.3V logic levels. These devices are available in 40-lead TQFN or 48-pin LQFP packages. These devices are specified over the -40°C to +105°C temperature range.ApplicationsAutomotive CamerasIn-Vehicle Entertainment SystemsIndustrial CamerasNavigation Systems Display

The MAX9273 compact serializer is designed to drive 50Ω coax or 100Ω shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable. The device pairs with the MAX9272 deserializer. The parallel input is programmable for single or double input. Double input allows higher pixel clock input frequency by registering two pixels of typical image-sensor video data before serializing. This doubles the maximum pixel clock frequency compared to single input. The device features an embedded control channel that operates at 9.6kbps to 1Mbps in UART and mixed UART/I²C modes, and up to 400kbps in I²C mode. Using the control channel, a microcontroller (µC) is capable of programming serializer, deserializer, and camera (or any peripheral) registers at any time, independent of video timing. There is one dedicated GPIO, four optional GPIOs, and a GPO output, allowing remote power-up of a camera module, camera frame synchronization, and other uses. Error-detection and correction coding are programmable. For driving longer cables, the serializer has programmable pre/deemphasis. Programmable spread spectrum is available on the serial output. The serial output meets ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD standards. The core supply range is 1.7V to 1.9V and the I/O supply range is 1.7V to 3.6V. The device is available in a 40-pin (6mm × 6mm) TQFN-EP package with 0.5mm lead pitch and operates over the -40°C to +105°C temperature range.ApplicationsAutomotive Camera SystemsNavigation Displays

The MAX33053E and MAX33054E are +3.3V CAN (Control Area Network) transceivers with integrated protection for industrial applications. These devices have extended ±65V fault protection for equipment where overvoltage protection is required. It also incorporates high ±25kV ESD HBM and an input common mode range (CMR) of ±25V, exceeding the ISO11898 specification of -2V to +7V. This makes these parts well-suited for applications that are in electrically noisy environments where the ground planes are shifting relative to each other. This family features a variety of options to address common CAN application requirements; logic-level supply input VL for interfacing with 1.62V to 3.6V logic, low-current standby mode, silent-mode to disable the transmitter, and a slow slew rate to minimize EMI.These devices operate at a high-speed CAN data rate, allowing up to 2Mbps on small networks. Maximum speed on large networks may be limited by the number of nodes in a network, the type of cabling used, stub length, and other factors. These transceivers include a dominant timeout to prevent bus lockup caused by controller error or by a fault on the TXD input. When TXD remains in the dominant state (low) for longer than TDOM, the driver is switched to the recessive state, releasing the bus. The MAX33053E features an S pin where it enables and disables the transmitter for applications where you need the transceiver to receive only. The MAX33054E features a STBY pin for 3 modes of operation; standby mode for low-current consumption, normal high-speed mode, or a slow slew rate mode when an external 26.1kΩ is connected between ground and STBY pin.The MAX33053E and MAX33054E are available in a standard 8-pin SOIC package and operate over the -40°C to +125°C temperature range.ApplicationsBuilding AutomationDroneIndustrial AutomationInstrumentationMotor ControlProgrammable Logic ControllerSmart Grid Equipment
