Product details
Overview
The MAX9275GTN+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3.12Gbps Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) serializer with parallel LVCMOS inputs and CML serial output, programmable for 50Ω coax or 100Ω STP cable drive. It supports up to 104MHz pixel clock, 192kHz/32-bit audio in TDM mode, and operates from -40°C to +105°C for automotive display and camera systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9275GTN+ datasheet, MAX9275GTN+ pinout, MAX9275GTN+ application, or MAX9275GTN+ equivalent, key selection considerations include coax/STP output configuration, embedded UART/I2C control channel operation up to 1Mbps, programmable pre/deemphasis for 15m full-speed cable reach, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and GPO support for touch-screen interrupt signaling.
Technical Context
The MAX9275GTN+ implements a GMSL link layer with configurable serial output amplitude (100–500mV SE / 100–400mV diff), programmable spread spectrum modulation, and bypassable input PLL for parallel clock jitter attenuation. Its reverse control channel supports UART-UART, UART-I2C, and I2C-I2C modes with clock-stretch capability.
It features a dedicated PRBS generator for BER testing, high-immunity reverse control channel mode, and sleep/wake-up functionality via local or remote signaling. The device meets ISO 10605 (±8kV contact, ±15kV air) and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD standards, with core supply at 1.7–1.9V and I/O supply at 1.7–3.6V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar GMSL serializer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9271GTJ+ | Lower 1.5Gbps data rate; no spread spectrum; fixed 100Ω STP drive only - lacks coax compatibility and EMI reduction features. | Suitable for shorter (<8m), lower-resolution camera links where cost is prioritized over flexibility and EMC robustness. | Select MAX9271GTJ+ only when 3.12Gbps bandwidth and dual-cable-type support are unnecessary. |
| MAX9295AUB+ | Higher 6Gbps data rate; integrated HDCP 2.2; supports GMSL2 protocol - adds encryption, higher throughput, and backward-compatible framing. | Required for next-gen automotive displays needing content protection and >4K resolution support. | Choose MAX9295AUB+ when upgrading to GMSL2 ecosystem or requiring HDCP for premium infotainment content. |
Compared with MAX9271GTJ+, the MAX9275GTN+ delivers 2× bandwidth, coax/STP flexibility, and spread-spectrum EMI control; versus MAX9295AUB+, it offers cost-optimized GMSL1 compatibility without HDCP overhead - ideal for non-content-protected, high-bandwidth legacy automotive video links.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported pixel clock frequency for the MAX9275GTN+?
The MAX9275GTN+ supports a maximum pixel clock frequency of 104MHz. This enables transmission of high-resolution video formats such as 1920×720p60 with 24-bit color depth over a single coax or STP cable. The device maintains timing integrity through its bypassable input PLL and spread-spectrum tracking capability, ensuring low-jitter operation even at this upper limit. This specification is confirmed in the AC Electrical Characteristics section of the official MAX9275/MAX9279 datasheet.
Does the MAX9275GTN+ support HDCP content protection?
No, the MAX9275GTN+ does not support HDCP content protection. HDCP is implemented exclusively in the MAX9279 variant, which shares the same pinout and core functionality but includes additional encryption circuitry and associated registers. The MAX9275GTN+ is functionally identical to the MAX9279 except for the absence of HDCP; all other specifications-including data rate, audio capability, control channel, and packaging-are identical between the two parts.
Can the MAX9275GTN+ drive both coaxial and shielded twisted pair cables?
Yes, the MAX9275GTN+ is programmable to drive either 50Ω coaxial cable (using single-ended output) or 100Ω shielded twisted pair (STP) cable (using differential output). Output amplitude is adjustable from 100–500mV SE or 100–400mV diff to compensate for varying cable losses. This dual-cable compatibility allows system designers to select cost-effective FAKRA connectors for coax or robust STP solutions for longer runs or higher noise immunity-without changing the serializer IC.
What audio formats and sample rates does the MAX9275GTN+ support?
The MAX9275GTN+ supports L-PCM audio in stereo I²S format or up to eight channels in TDM mode, with sample rates ranging from 32kHz to 192kHz and sample depths up to 32 bits. It handles common configurations including 7.1-channel HD audio at 192kHz/24-bit. Audio data is embedded alongside video in the GMSL frame structure, maintaining precise synchronization via the PCLKIN signal or internal timing. These capabilities are fully documented in the Audio Channel section of the MAX9275/MAX9279 datasheet.
How does the MAX9275GTN+ handle electromagnetic interference (EMI) in automotive environments?
The MAX9275GTN+ reduces EMI through programmable spread-spectrum modulation on its serial output and optimized CML driver design. It meets ISO 10605 (±8kV contact, ±15kV air) and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD standards, and includes high-immunity reverse control channel mode for noise rejection. Its ability to drive low-cost 50Ω coax eliminates need for heavy shielding, while pre/deemphasis tuning compensates for cable loss without external components-collectively easing EMC compliance in demanding automotive PCB layouts.
