The MAX9217 digital video parallel-to-serial converter
serializes 27 bits of parallel data into a serial data stream.
Eighteen bits of video data and 9 bits of control data are
encoded and multiplexed onto the serial interface, reducing
the serial data rate. The data enable input determines
when the video or control data is serialized.
The MAX9217 pairs with the MAX9218 deserializer to
form a complete digital video serial link. Interconnect
can be controlled-impedance PCB traces or twisted-pair
cable. Proprietary data encoding reduces EMI and provides
DC balance. DC balance allows AC-coupling,
providing isolation between the transmitting and receiving
ends of the interface. The LVDS output is internally
terminated with 100Ω.
ESD tolerance is specified for ISO 10605 with ±10kV
contact discharge and ±30kV air discharge.
The MAX9217 operates from a +3.3V core supply and
features a separate input supply for interfacing to 1.8V
to 3.3V logic levels. This device is available in 48-lead
Thin QFN and LQFP packages and is specified from
-40°C to +85°C.
