MAX9205/MAX9207 10-Bit Bus LVDS Serializers
General Description
The MAX9205/MAX9207 serializers transform 10-bitwide parallel LVCMOS/LVTTL data into a serial highspeed bus low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) data stream. The serializers typically pair with deserializers like the MAX9206/MAX9208, which receive the serial output and transform it back to 10-bit-wide parallel data.
The MAX9205/MAX9207 transmit serial data at speeds up to 400Mbps and 660Mbps, respectively, over PCB traces or twisted-pair cables. Since the clock is recovered from the serial data stream, clock-to-data and data-to-data skew that would be present with a parallel bus are eliminated.
The serializers require no external components and few control signals.
