Product details
Overview
MAX9286GTN/VY+ from Analog Devices is a quad-channel GMSL deserializer that receives up to four 1.5Gbps serial video streams over coax or STP cables and outputs synchronized CSI-2 video data across four lanes. It supports embedded UART/I²C control channels (9.6kbps–1Mbps), programmable cable equalization, and operates from -40°C to +105°C with ±8kV contact ESD protection. Used in automotive surround-view camera systems requiring pixel-synchronized multi-sensor input.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9286GTN/VY+ datasheet, MAX9286GTN/VY+ pinout, MAX9286GTN/VY+ application, or MAX9286GTN/VY+ equivalent, key selection criteria include CSI-2 lane rate scalability (80–1200Mbps/lane), dual-supply operation (1.7–1.9V core / 1.7–3.6V I/O), and support for FAKRA coax and STP interconnects in harsh automotive environments.
Technical Context
The MAX9286GTN/VY+ implements a GMSL protocol-compliant deserialization engine with four independent serial input receivers, each supporting adaptive equalization for up to 15m coax cable at full 1.5Gbps. Its embedded control channel operates in UART-to-UART, UART-to-I²C, and I²C-to-I²C modes with clock-stretch capability and maskable broadcast writes.
It delivers synchronized CSI-2 output with lane rates configurable from 80Mbps to 1200Mbps per lane, supports PRBS-based BER testing, and integrates two GPIOs plus nine programmable I²C slave addresses. The device meets ISO 10605 (±8kV contact) and IEC 61000-4-2 (±8kV contact) ESD standards.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar GMSL deserializer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX96712GTJ/V+ | Single-input GMSL2 deserializer with integrated video processor; supports higher 3.125Gbps link speed but only one serial input. | Targeted at single-sensor high-bandwidth applications (e.g., front-facing ADAS camera), not quad-input aggregation. | Select when bandwidth >1.5Gbps is required and multi-sensor synchronization is not needed. |
| DS90UB960APAPR | Fully pin-compatible FPD-Link III deserializer with 4-input/4-lane CSI-2 output; lacks built-in PRBS tester and high-immunity control mode. | Used in non-GMSL automotive platforms; requires separate clock-stretching implementation and external BER test setup. | Choose for FPD-Link III ecosystem compatibility where GMSL-specific features like broadcast write are not required. |
Compared with MAX9286GTN/VY+, MAX96712GTJ/V+ trades quad-input capability for higher per-link bandwidth and on-die processing, while DS90UB960APAPR offers identical pinout and lane count but omits GMSL-native diagnostics and noise-hardened control-making MAX9286GTN/VY+ optimal for synchronized multi-camera systems demanding robust field deployment.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported cable length for MAX9286GTN/VY+ at full 1.5Gbps data rate?
The MAX9286GTN/VY+ supports up to 15m of 50Ω coax or 100Ω STP cable at full 1.5Gbps per link when its programmable cable equalizer is enabled and properly tuned. This performance is validated per the device's electrical specifications and applies to both FAKRA and standard STP implementations without external repeaters or retimers. Cable loss compensation is adjusted per-channel via register settings in the MAX9286GTN/VY+ configuration space.
Does MAX9286GTN/VY+ support automatic synchronization across all four input channels?
Yes, MAX9286GTN/VY+ provides both internal and external camera synchronization generation. It aligns pixel clocks and frame start signals across all four GMSL inputs to ensure sub-pixel timing accuracy-critical for stereo matching and image stitching. This synchronization is maintained even during hot-plug events or link retraining, and is implemented entirely within the MAX9286GTN/VY+ without requiring external timing controllers.
Can MAX9286GTN/VY+ operate with different I/O voltage levels on its CSI-2 output interface?
Yes, MAX9286GTN/VY+ supports I/O supply voltages from 1.7V to 3.6V on its VCC_IO rail, allowing direct interfacing with CSI-2 receivers operating at 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V logic levels. The output driver strength and common-mode voltage are automatically adjusted based on VCC_IO, ensuring compliance with MIPI CSI-2 v1.3 electrical specifications across the full range without external level-shifting circuitry.
Is the control channel of MAX9286GTN/VY+ compatible with standard I²C master controllers?
Yes, the MAX9286GTN/VY+ control channel supports standard I²C master operation at speeds up to 1Mbps, including clock stretching. It also supports UART-to-I²C and I²C-to-I²C bridging modes, enabling microcontrollers without native I²C peripherals to configure upstream serializers and sensors. All control transactions occur independently of video streaming, preserving real-time configurability during active capture.
What package type and RoHS status does MAX9286GTN/VY+ use?
MAX9286GTN/VY+ is packaged in a lead(Pb)-free, 56-pin, 8mm × 8mm SWTQFN with exposed thermal pad and 0.5mm pitch. It complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements.
