The MAX96701GTG/V+ is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component that offers advanced features for high-speed video data transmission over coaxial cables. It is specifically designed for automotive applications in which multiple cameras need to be connected to a central processing unit. Here is an overview of its key features:
1. Coaxial Cable Interface: The IC supports the use of coaxial cables for reliable video transmission. It utilizes a serializer and deserializer (SerDes) technology to convert parallel video data into a high-speed serial stream, allowing efficient use of the coaxial infrastructure.
2. High-Speed Data Transmission: The MAX96701GTG/V+ is capable of transmitting data at rates up to 3.4 Gbps, enabling the transmission of uncompressed high-definition video. This ensures the delivery of clear and crisp video quality from multiple cameras to the central processing unit.
3. Power Over Coax (PoC): The IC features a Power over Coax (PoC) capability, eliminating the need for a separate power supply for each camera. This simplifies the wiring and reduces the overall system cost, making it an ideal solution for automotive applications where reducing weight, complexity, and cost are important factors.
4. Automatic Cable Terminator Detection: The IC includes an automatic cable terminator detection feature, which identifies whether a node is connected to the coaxial cable or not. This ensures that the video data is transmitted only to active nodes, preventing unnecessary data leakage and optimizing power consumption
