The MAX9271GTJ+T is a 16bit GMSL serializer with coax or STP cable drive in 32 pin TQFN package. The compact serializer is designed to drive 50 ohm coax or 100 ohm 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 (FC) is capable of programming serializer, deserializer and camera (or any peripheral) registers at any time, independent of video timing. This is used in automotive camera systems.
