Product details
Overview
MAX96717FGTJ/VY+ from Analog Devices is a GMSL2 serializer that converts four-lane MIPI CSI-2 video input (up to 2.5Gbps per lane, v1.3 compliant) into a 3Gbps forward / 187.5Mbps reverse full-duplex GMSL2 serial link over coax or STP cables. It integrates I2C/UART pass-through, SPI tunneling, GPIO, ADC, temperature sensing, and ASIL-B functional safety features for automotive camera systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX96717FGTJ/VY+ datasheet, MAX96717FGTJ/VY+ pinout, MAX96717FGTJ/VY+ application, or MAX96717FGTJ/VY+ equivalent, key selection criteria include GMSL2 link robustness (-19.5dB max insertion loss at 1.5GHz), MIPI D-PHY v1.2 receiver compliance, RoR clocking for crystal-free operation, side-channel concurrency, and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification across -40°C to +105°C.
Technical Context
The MAX96717FGTJ/VY+ implements a dual-mode video pipeline supporting both pixel mode (direct video transport) and tunneling mode (encapsulated CSI-2 packets with end-to-end CRC). Its GMSL2 physical layer includes adaptive equalization, echo cancellation, and spread-spectrum clocking to maintain signal integrity over long automotive cables up to 20m at +105°C.
Control-channel operation uses configurable I2C/UART with optional CRC and message counter, while side-channel peripherals are accessed via two independent I2C/UART pass-through channels, SPI tunnel, and register-programmable GPIO. The device supports reference-over-reverse (RoR) clocking to eliminate external crystals at remote sensors.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar GMSL2 serializer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX96712GTJ/VY+ | Lower forward rate (1.5Gbps), no RoR, no integrated ADC - smaller footprint (4mm × 4mm). | Targeted at 1080p@30fps SVS or RVC where bandwidth and crystal-free operation are not required. | Select when cost and size are prioritized over 4Mp resolution and sensor clock generation. |
| DS90UB953TRGCRQ1 | FPD-Link III serializer (not GMSL2), 3.125Gbps, no RoR, different cable equalization architecture. | Used in legacy TI-based ADAS platforms; requires FPD-Link III deserializer (e.g., DS90UB954), not GMSL2-compatible. | Choose only for brownfield designs already committed to FPD-Link III ecosystem and layout. |
Compared with MAX96712GTJ/VY+, the MAX96717FGTJ/VY+ delivers higher bandwidth and RoR clocking for next-gen 4Mp cameras; versus DS90UB953TRGCRQ1, it offers native GMSL2 interoperability, ASIL-B certification, and superior cable reach at high temperature.
