Product details
Overview
MAX9260GCB+ from Maxim Integrated is a gigabit multimedia deserializer for automotive serial links, supporting up to 3.125Gbps over STP cable, 1280×768 XGA display resolution, embedded I²S audio (up to 192kHz/32-bit), and full-duplex UART/I²C control channel (100kbps–1Mbps). It operates from 3.0V–3.6V AVDD/DVDD and 1.7V–3.6V IOVDD across –40°C to +105°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9260GCB+ datasheet, MAX9260GCB+ pinout, MAX9260GCB+ application, or MAX9260GCB+ equivalent, key selection criteria include serializer-deserializer pairing with MAX9259, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, AEC-Q100 qualification, line-fault monitoring, and automotive infotainment timing integrity under extended cable lengths.
Technical Context
The MAX9260GCB+ implements a CML-based differential receiver for high-speed serial data recovery and a parallel output interface with programmable bus width (24-/32-bit), pixel clock output (6.25–104MHz), and configurable control-channel direction (UART/I²C master/slave). Its PLL architecture supports jitter attenuation via bypass mode and deterministic lock time of ≤1500ns with spread spectrum enabled.
It integrates reverse-control-channel transceivers (IN+/IN−) with ±40mV differential thresholds, line-fault detection (LMN0/LMN1), interrupt propagation (INT), and GPIOs (GPIO0/GPIO1) - all operating within AEC-Q100 Grade 2 temperature range and compliant with ISO 10605 (±10kV contact) and IEC 61000-4-2 (±10kV contact) ESD standards.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX9260GCB+ is housed in a 64-pin TQFP package (10mm × 10mm × 1mm) with exposed pad (EP) connected internally to AGND and GND for thermal and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+, IN− | Differential Serial Input | Receives serialized video/audio/control stream from MAX9259; threshold ±40–90mV enables reliable operation over noisy automotive harnesses |
| PCLKOUT | Parallel Pixel Clock Output | Provides synchronous timing reference to display controller; programmable duty cycle (40–60%) and low jitter (<0.05UI) preserve video timing margins |
| DOUT0–DOUT28 | Parallel Video/Audio Data Outputs | Delivers unpacked RGB, sync, and auxiliary data; bus width selected by BWS pin (24-/32-bit) to match source resolution |
| ENABLE | Active-Low Output Enable | Tri-states PCLKOUT, SD, SCK, WS, and DOUT_ pins when high - enables power sequencing and hot-plug isolation |
| TX/SCL, RX/SDA | Open-Drain Control I/O | Supports bidirectional UART or I²C communication; internal 30kΩ pullups simplify interface to microcontrollers without external resistors |
| INT, LOCK, ERR | Status & Interrupt Outputs | INT signals remote-side requests; LOCK indicates stable link lock; ERR flags CRC or framing errors - enabling real-time diagnostics |
| LMN0, LMN1 | Line-Fault Monitor Inputs | Detect short-to-battery, short-to-ground, or open-circuit conditions on STP pair - critical for ASIL-B functional safety compliance |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MAX9260GCB+ in a serial link system?
The MAX9260GCB+ is a deserializer that receives high-speed serialized video, audio, and control data over a differential STP link from the MAX9259 serializer. It reconstructs parallel video outputs (DOUT0–DOUT28), generates PCLKOUT, recovers I²S audio signals (SD/SCK/WS), and manages bidirectional UART/I²C communication - all while maintaining AEC-Q100 compliance and EMI robustness.
Does the MAX9260GCB+ require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the MAX9260GCB+ does not require an external crystal or oscillator. It recovers the serial clock embedded in the incoming CML data stream from the MAX9259 and uses this recovered clock to generate its PCLKOUT and internal timing - eliminating BOM cost and board space associated with discrete timing components.
Can the MAX9260GCB+ operate with different bus widths, and how is this configured?
Yes, the MAX9260GCB+ supports both 24-bit and 32-bit parallel output modes. Bus width is selected via the BWS pin: BWS = low configures 24-bit mode (RGB + sync), while BWS = high enables 32-bit mode (RGB + sync + two auxiliary data bits). This configuration is latched at power-up or wake-from-power-down.
How does the MAX9260GCB+ handle electromagnetic interference (EMI) in automotive environments?
The MAX9260GCB+ reduces EMI through programmable spread-spectrum clocking (0.5%, 2%, or 4% modulation), differential CML signaling with controlled output voltage (300–500mVP-P), and integrated pre/deemphasis. These features lower peak radiated emissions by >10dB, allowing compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5 without added ferrites or shielding.
Is the MAX9260GCB+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX9259/MAX9260 family?
The MAX9260GCB+ shares the same 64-pin TQFP package and core pinout with other MAX9260 variants (e.g., MAX9260GTN/V+T), but is not pin-compatible with MAX9259 serializers or QFND-packaged MAX9260 versions. Signal mapping and power domains (3.3V AVDD vs. 1.8V for MAX9259) differ fundamentally between serializer and deserializer roles.
