MAX96711
14-Bit GMSL Serializer with High-Immunity/
Bandwidth Mode and Coax/STP Cable Drive
General Description
The MAX96711 is a compact serializer with features especially suited for automotive camera applications. In highbandwidth mode, the parallel-clock maximum is 116MHz
for 12-bit linear or combined HDR data types. Line-fault
circuitry detects open/short faults on the link cable.
The embedded control channel operates at 9.6kbps to
1Mbps in UART, I2C, and mixed UART/I2C modes, allowing programming of serializer, deserializer, and camera
registers independent of video timing. Line-fault circuitry
detects open/short faults on the link cable.
For driving longer cables, the IC 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 MAX96711 is available in a 32-pin (5mm x 5mm)
TQFN package with 0.5mm lead pitch, and operates over
the -40°C to +115°C temperature range.
