General Description

The MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216/MAX9220/

MAX9222 deserialize three LVDS serial data inputs into

21 single-ended LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs. A parallel rate

LVDS clock received with the LVDS data streams pro-

vides timing for deserialization. The outputs have a sepa-

rate supply, allowing 1.8V to 5V output logic levels.

The MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216/MAX9220/

MAX9222 feature programmable DC balance, which

allows isolation between a serializer and deserializer

using AC-coupling. Each deserializer decodes data

transmitted by one of MAX9209/MAX9211/MAX9213/

MAX9215 serializers.

The MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216 have ris-

ing-edge output strobes, and when DC balance is not

programmed, are compatible with non-DC-balanced

21-bit deserializers such as the DS90CR216A and

DS90CR218A. The MAX9220/MAX9222 have falling-

edge output strobes.

Two frequency versions and two DC-balance default con-

ditions are available for maximum replacement flexibility

and compatibility with popular non-DC-balanced deserial-

izers. The transition time of the single-ended outputs is

increased on the low-frequency version parts (MAX9210/

MAX9212/MAX9220) for reduced EMI. The LVDS inputs

meet IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD specification, ±15kV for

Air Discharge and ±8kV Contact Discharge.

The MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216/MAX9220/

MAX9222 are available in TSSOP and space-saving QFN

packages, and operate over the -40°C to +85°C temper-

ature range.
