Analog Devices MAX96717 CSI-2 to GMSL™2 Serializer receives video on an MIPI CSI-2 interface and outputs it on a GMSL2 serial link transceiver. Simultaneously, the device sends and receives bidirectional control channel data across the same GMSL2 link. GMSL2 data can be transported over Coaxial or Shielded-Twisted Pair (STP) cables. The serializer operates at a fixed rate of 3Gbps or 6Gbps in the forward direction and 187.5Mbps in the reverse direction. The MAX96717 is programmed via a local I2C/UART interface or across the link from a matching deserializer.
The MAX96717 includes:
• 2x I2C/UART pass-through channels
• Flexible GPIO
• SPI tunnel
• Built-in ADC
• Temperature sensor
• An extensive set of diagnostics for functional safety
The ADI MAX96717 Serializer is specified over the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified.
