KIT ATION EVALU E L B A IL AVA
Fully Programmable Serializer/Deserializer with UART/I2C Control Channel
General Description
The MAX9257 serializer pairs with the MAX9258 deserializer to form a complete digital video serial link. The MAX9257/MAX9258 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 MAX9258, hence eliminating the need for an external reference clock.
