The MAX9281GTM/V+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component developed by Maxim Integrated. It belongs to the MAX9281 family, which is designed specifically for automotive applications. This IC serves as a serializer for transmitting camera data over a coaxial cable, targeting automotive surround-view systems and other applications that require high-quality video signals.
Key Features:
1. Serializer: The MAX9281GTM/V+ operates as a serializer, meaning it converts parallel video streams into a serialized data stream for transmission. It supports up to four video channels and can handle video resolutions up to 1.5Gbps per channel.
2. Coaxial Cable Connectivity: It is optimized for transmitting video data over a single coaxial cable, ensuring long-distance communication while maintaining signal integrity. This makes it suitable for automotive applications, where the cameras are often distributed across a vehicle.
3. Long Cable Reach: The IC provides robust communication even over long cable lengths, up to 15 meters. It incorporates equalization and pre-emphasis capabilities, compensating for signal loss caused by cable length and preserving video quality.
4. Programmable I2C Interface: The MAX9281GTM/V+ features a bidirectional I2C interface for device control and configuration. This allows for easy programmability and integration with other devices in the system, such as microcontrollers or processors
