Product details
Overview
MAX9288GTM/VY+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3.12Gbps GMSL deserializer for automotive video links, receiving serialized video/audio over 50Ω coax or 100Ω STP and outputting deserialized data via 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 at up to 1Gbps per lane. It supports 104MHz pixel clock (1920×720p/60Hz, 24-bit color), 192kHz/32-bit audio in TDM mode, and operates from -40°C to +105°C - deployed in high-resolution automotive navigation displays.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9288GTM/VY+ datasheet, MAX9288GTM/VY+ pinout, MAX9288GTM/VY+ application, or MAX9288GTM/VY+ equivalent, key selection considerations include coax/STP input compatibility, CSI-2 lane count and speed, HDCP exclusion (vs. MAX9290), embedded control channel bandwidth (up to 1Mbps), and GPIO/GPI support for display power-up and touch-interrupt handling.
Technical Context
The MAX9288GTM/VY+ implements a GMSL-to-MIPI CSI-2 protocol converter with configurable serial link signaling (base mode or high-bandwidth mode), auto-pixel-per-line detection, and HS/VS/DE tracking for precise video synchronization. Its reverse control channel supports UART-to-UART, UART-to-I2C, and I2C-to-I2C modes with clock-stretch capability.
It integrates a programmable cable equalizer for up to 15m coax/STP operation, spread-spectrum clock tracking, and high-immunity reverse control-channel mode for noise rejection. The device includes built-in PRBS testing, color LUT for gamma correction, and dedicated GPI for touch-screen interrupt signaling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar GMSL deserializer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9290GTM/VY+ | Includes HDCP 1.4 encryption engine; otherwise identical pinout, electrical specs, and functional behavior. | Required when end-to-end digital content protection is mandated (e.g., OEM infotainment with licensed video sources). | Select MAX9290GTM/VY+ only if HDCP is required; MAX9288GTM/VY+ reduces BOM cost and firmware complexity where content protection is unnecessary. |
| TI DS90UB954-Q1 | FPGA-compatible 10-bit parallel output instead of MIPI CSI-2; supports FPD-Link III, not GMSL; different register map and control protocol. | Used in legacy TI-based ADAS platforms; requires redesign of host interface and driver stack. | Not drop-in; choose only when migrating from existing DS90UB953/954 systems - no shared software or layout compatibility. |
Compared with MAX9290GTM/VY+, the MAX9288GTM/VY+ omits HDCP logic to reduce power, die size, and certification overhead - making it optimal for non-protected video paths like camera feeds and instrument clusters. Against DS90UB954-Q1, it offers native MIPI CSI-2 output and GMSL ecosystem alignment, avoiding FPGA glue logic and protocol translation layers.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported cable length for MAX9288GTM/VY+ at full 3.12Gbps data rate?
The MAX9288GTM/VY+ supports up to 15 meters of coaxial or shielded twisted-pair cable at full 3.12Gbps data rate when its programmable cable equalizer is enabled and configured for maximum gain. This performance assumes standard 50Ω coax with FAKRA connectors or 100Ω STP meeting GMSL specification impedance tolerances. Actual reach may vary based on cable quality and environmental noise.
Does MAX9288GTM/VY+ support HDCP content protection like MAX9290?
No, the MAX9288GTM/VY+ does not include HDCP encryption circuitry. It is functionally identical to the MAX9290GTM/VY+ in all aspects except HDCP - meaning it shares the same pinout, MIPI CSI-2 interface, control channel capabilities, and automotive temperature rating, but cannot authenticate or encrypt protected video streams.
Can MAX9288GTM/VY+ interface directly with an NVIDIA DRIVE Orin SoC CSI-2 input?
Yes, the MAX9288GTM/VY+ outputs standard MIPI D-PHY v1.2-compliant CSI-2 signals (4 data lanes + 1 clock lane) with adjustable termination and slew rate, fully compatible with NVIDIA DRIVE Orin's CSI-2 receivers. Proper lane mapping, clock/data skew calibration, and register configuration per Orin's MIPI timing requirements are necessary for lock acquisition.
What audio formats and sample rates does MAX9288GTM/VY+ support on its I2S/TDM interface?
The MAX9288GTM/VY+ supports L-PCM I2S stereo and up to eight channels in TDM mode, with sample rates from 32kHz to 192kHz and sample depths up to 32 bits. It accepts audio clock from either the audio source (master mode) or sink (slave mode), and provides an additional MCLK output for driving external audio codecs.
How is the MAX9288GTM/VY+ configured for coax versus STP cable input?
The MAX9288GTM/VY+ detects cable type automatically via the CABLE_TYPE pin (three-level logic), or it can be forced via register setting. Coax mode enables DC-coupled input with internal 50Ω termination; STP mode configures AC-coupled differential input with 100Ω termination and enhanced common-mode rejection - both modes use the same INP/INN pins.
