Overview
The MAX96717GTJ/VY+T is a high-speed serializer designed by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, specifically tailored for automotive applications. This device converts video data from a MIPI CSI-2 interface to a GMSL2 (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link 2) serial link, enabling efficient and reliable data transmission over coaxial or shielded-twisted pair (STP) cables. It operates within an automotive temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified, ensuring robust performance in harsh environments.
