Programmable Spread-Spectrum and DC-Balance 21-Bit Deserializer
General Description
The MAX9232 deserializes three LVDS serial-data inputs into 21 single-ended LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs. A separate parallel-rate LVDS clock provides the timing for deserialization. The MAX9232 features spread-spectrum capability, allowing the output data and clock frequency to spread over a specified range to reduce EMI. The single-ended data and clock outputs are programmable for a frequency spread of ±2%, ±4%, or no spread. The spread-spectrum function is also available when the MAX9232 operates in non-DC-balanced mode. The modulation rate of the spread is 32kHz for a 33MHz LVDS clock input and scales linearly with frequency.
