The MAX921CSA+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed by Maxim Integrated, which offers a variety of features suitable for high-speed video signal transmission applications.
One of the key features of the MAX921CSA+ is its ability to support 10-bit DC-balanced video transmission over a long-distance coaxial cable. It is primarily used in automotive systems, enabling the transmission of high-quality video signals across harsh environments.
The IC employs a proprietary technology known as the Current-Mode Logic (CML) interface, which allows for high-speed data transfer rates. With a typical bandwidth of up to 500 MHz, the MAX921CSA+ is capable of handling high-resolution video signals with ease.
The component also offers a low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) output, allowing for transmission of video signals at a lower voltage level and reducing power consumption. Additionally, the integrated LVDS receiver on MAX921CSA+ enables synchronization of the video signals for optimal performance.
To further enhance its versatility, the MAX921CSA+ is equipped with a programmable output swing control feature. This allows the user to adjust the output voltage swing to match the requirements of the connected system, ensuring optimal signal quality.
The IC supports a wide operating voltage range, from 2.7V to 5.5V, making it compatible with various power supply configurations
