Analog Devices MAX96717R CSI-2 to GMSL™2 Serializers accept video on a 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 interface and then outputs it on a GMSL2 serial link transceiver for transport over a coaxial cable. Simultaneously, the device sends and receives bidirectional control channel data via the same GMSL2 link. The GMSL2 link functions at a fixed rate of 3Gbps in the forward direction and 187.5Mbps in the reverse order.
The ADI MAX96717R Serializers are programmed through a local I2C interface or via the link from a matching deserializer. Data can be transported over low-cost 50Ω coax cables that fulfill the GMSL2 channel specification.
The MAX96717R offers flexible GPIO tunnels and register-programmed GPIO. Operation is specified over the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, and the MAX96717R is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified.
