Product details
Overview
MAX96716AGTM/VY+ from Analog Devices is a dual-channel GMSL2-to-MIPI CSI-2 deserializer for automotive ADAS camera systems. It converts two independent 3Gbps or 6Gbps GMSL2 serial inputs into dual MIPI CSI-2 v1.3 outputs (D-PHY/C-PHY), supports 16 virtual channels, RAW8–20/RGB/YUV data types, and operates across –40°C to +105°C with AEC-Q100 qualification.
For engineers reviewing the MAX96716AGTM/VY+ datasheet, MAX96716AGTM/VY+ pinout, MAX96716AGTM/VY+ application, or MAX96716AGTM/VY+ equivalent, key selection criteria include GMSL2 link margin monitoring, ASIL-B functional safety compliance, dual-input aggregation/replication capability, coax/STP cable compatibility up to 20m at 3Gbps, and side-channel I2C/UART/SPI/GPIO support for sensor configuration.
Technical Context
The MAX96716AGTM/VY+ implements a dual GMSL2 physical layer with independent forward/reverse channel operation: 3Gbps or 6Gbps forward data rate and fixed 187.5Mbps reverse control-channel rate. It integrates adaptive equalization (AEQ) and Eye-Opening Monitor (EOM) for continuous link-margin optimization over aging and temperature-varying cables.
Its MIPI CSI-2 output supports configurable dual four-lane D-PHY or dual two-lane C-PHY interfaces, with lane rates from 80Mbps to 2.5Gbps (D-PHY) or 182Mbps to 4.56Gbps (C-PHY). Video pipeline includes end-to-end CRC protection, R-S FEC for forward video, and 32-bit line-level CRC - all aligned with ASIL-B requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| GMSL2 Forward Rate | 3Gbps or 6Gbps per link - enables 4MP@60fps or 8MP@40fps camera input on each channel. |
| GMSL2 Reverse Rate | 187.5Mbps - provides bidirectional control-channel bandwidth for I2C/UART pass-through and register access. |
| MIPI CSI-2 Output | Dual ports, each configurable as 4-lane D-PHY or 2-lane C-PHY - supports redundant processing or split-sensor aggregation. |
| Virtual Channels | 16 - allows time-multiplexed routing of multiple camera streams or metadata over shared CSI-2 lanes. |
| Functional Safety | ASIL-B compliant with CRC-protected video lines, side-channel data, and R-S FEC - meets ISO 26262 requirements for camera domain controllers. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +105°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 2, enabling placement in under-hood or cabin-mounted ECUs. |
| Cable Support | 50Ω coax or 100Ω STP - validated up to 20m at 3Gbps/+105°C, eliminating need for repeaters in surround-view systems. |
Pinout & Package
MAX96716AGTM/VY+ uses a 48-lead 7mm × 7mm TQFN-SW (side-wettable flanks) package with 0.5mm lead pitch, optimized for automated optical inspection (AOI) and solder-joint reliability in automotive reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SIOA_P/N, SIOB_P/N | GMSL2 Serial Input Pair A/B | Differential AC-coupled inputs accepting 3Gbps/6Gbps GMSL2 forward video and 187.5Mbps reverse control data. |
| D0P/N–D3P/N, CKP/N | MIPI CSI-2 Port 0 Differential Lanes | Configurable D-PHY or C-PHY high-speed lanes supporting up to 2.5Gbps (D-PHY) or 4.56Gbps (C-PHY) per lane. |
| D0P/N–D3P/N, CKP/N (Port 1) | MIPI CSI-2 Port 1 Differential Lanes | Second independent CSI-2 port for replication or parallel processing - no shared resources with Port 0. |
| I2C_SDA/SCL, UART_TX/RX | Primary Side-Channel Interface | Configurable I2C or UART interface for device programming and serializer communication; supports CRC and message counter. |
| GPIO0–GPIO3 | General-Purpose I/O | Register-programmable GPIOs usable as inputs, outputs, or interrupt sources - configurable slew rate and pull options. |
| REFCLK_IN | Reference Clock Input | Accepts 1MHz–27MHz crystal or oscillator input for internal PLL; enables crystal-free operation via Reference-over-Reverse (RoR) mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Aggregation & Replication | Combines video from both GMSL2 inputs onto one CSI-2 port (aggregation) or mirrors identical data to both ports (replication) - simplifies SoC interface design. |
| Link Margin Optimization | Continuous adaptive equalization and real-time Eye-Opening Monitor (EOM) enable dynamic compensation for cable loss drift due to temperature or aging. |
| Reference-over-Reverse (RoR) | Eliminates external crystal by recovering reference clock from reverse GMSL2 channel - reduces BOM cost and board space. |
| Side-Channel Flexibility | Concurrent I2C/UART/SPI/GPIO support with four hardware-programmable device addresses - allows daisy-chaining multiple deserializers on same bus. |
| Video Data Integrity | 32-bit CRC per video line + R-S FEC + tunnel-mode CRC - ensures pixel-perfect delivery critical for ADAS object detection pipelines. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar GMSL2 deserializer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX96716GTJ/VY+ | Same die, 40-pin TQFN (5mm × 5mm); lacks GPIO3, REFCLK_IN, and one MIPI lane pair - reduced I/O and CSI-2 bandwidth. | Targeted at cost-sensitive single-camera modules where replication/aggregation is unnecessary. | Select MAX96716GTJ/VY+ only when board space and BOM cost outweigh need for dual-port flexibility and RoR clocking. |
| DS90UB960TRGCRQ1 | Texas Instruments device; supports FPD-Link III, not GMSL2; 1.5Gbps max forward rate; no ASIL-B certification or R-S FEC. | Used in legacy ADAS designs with TI SerDes ecosystem; incompatible with GMSL2 serializers like MAX96717. | Choose DS90UB960TRGCRQ1 only when migrating from existing FPD-Link III infrastructure - not interoperable with GMSL2 physical layer. |
Compared with MAX96716GTJ/VY+, the MAX96716AGTM/VY+ delivers full dual-port MIPI CSI-2 bandwidth and RoR clocking; versus DS90UB960TRGCRQ1, it provides GMSL2-native 6Gbps throughput, ASIL-B compliance, and integrated link-margin diagnostics - essential for next-gen automotive vision systems.
