Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link with Spread  
Spectrum and Full-Duplex Control Channel  
General Description  
Features  
S 2.5Gbps Payload Rate, AC-Coupled Serial Link  
The MAX9259/MAX9260 chipset presents Maxim’s  
gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL) technology. The  
MAX9259 serializer pairs with the MAX9260 deserializer  
to form a complete digital serial link for joint transmission  
of high-speed video, audio, and control data.  
with 8B/10B Line Coding  
S 24-Bit or 32-Bit Programmable Parallel Input Bus  
Supports Up to XGA (1280 x 768) or Dual-View  
WVGA (2 x 854 x 480) Panels with 18-Bit or 24-Bit  
Color  
The MAX9259/MAX9260 allow a maximum serial payload  
data rate of 2.5Gbps for a 15m shielded twisted-pair  
(STP) cable. The 24-bit or 32-bit width parallel interface  
operates up to a maximum bus clock of 104MHz or  
78MHz, respectively. This serial link supports display  
panels from QVGA (320 x 240) up to XGA (1280 x 768),  
or dual-view WVGA (2 x 854 x 480).  
S 8.33MHz to 104MHz (24-Bit Bus) or 6.25MHz to  
78MHz (32-Bit Bus) Parallel Data Rate  
S Support Two/Three 10-Bit Camera Links at  
104MHz/78MHz Maximum Pixel Clock  
2
S 4-Bit to 32-Bit Word Length, 8kHz to 192kHz I S  
Audio Channel Supports High-Definition Audio  
The 24-bit or 32-bit mode handles 21 or 29 bits of data,  
along with an I S input, supporting 4- to 32-bit audio  
S Embedded Half-/Full-Duplex Bidirectional Control

Channel (100kbps to 1Mbps)  
word lengths and an 8kHz to 192kHz sample rate. The  
embedded control channel forms a full-duplex, differen-  
tial 100kbps to 1Mbps UART link between the serializer  
and deserializer. The host electronic control unit (ECU)  
or microcontroller (FC) resides either on the MAX9259  
(for video display) or on the MAX9260 (for image sens-  
ing). In addition, the control channel enables ECU/FC  
control of peripherals in the remote side of the serial link  
S Separate Interrupt Signal Supports Touch-Screen  
Functions for Display Panels

S Remote-End I C Master for Peripherals  
S Preemphasis Line Driver (MAX9259)/Line  
Equalizer (MAX9260)  
S Programmable Spread Spectrum on the Serial or  
Parallel Data Outputs Reduce EMI  
2
through I C (base mode) or a user-defined full-duplex  
UART format (bypass mode).  
S Deserializer Does Not Require an External Clock  
S Auto Data-Rate Detection Allows “On-The-Fly”  
The MAX9259 serializer driver preemphasis and chan-  
nel equalizer on the MAX9260 extend the link length and  
enhance the link reliability. Spread spectrum is available  
on the MAX9259/MAX9260 to reduce EMI on the serial  
and parallel output data signals. The differential link  
complies with the ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD-  
protection standards.  
Data-Rate Change  
S Input Clock PLL Jitter Attenuator (MAX9259)  
S Built-In PRBS Generator/Checker for BER Testing  
S Line-Fault Detector Detects Wire Shorts to  
Ground, Battery, or Open Link  
S ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Protection  
S -40NC to +105NC Operating Temperature Range  
S Patent Pending  
The core supplies for the MAX9259/MAX9260 are 1.8V  
and 3.3V, respectively. Both devices use an I/O sup-  
ply from 1.8V to 3.3V. These devices are available in  
a 64-pin TQFP package (10mm x 10mm) and a 56-pin  
TQFN package (8mm x 8mm x 0.75mm) with an exposed  
pad. Electrical performance is guaranteed over the  
-40NC to +105NC automotive temperature range.

Detailed Description  
The MAX9259/MAX9260 chipset presents Maxim’s  
communication (forward and reverse) uses differential  
GMSL technology. The MAX9259 serializer pairs with the  
MAX9260 deserializer to form a complete digital serial  
link for joint transmission of high-speed video, audio,  
and control data for video-display or image-sensing  
applications. The serial-payload data rate can reach up  
to 2.5Gbps for a 15m STP cable. The parallel interface  
is programmable for 24-bit or 32-bit width modes at the  
maximum bus clock of 104MHz or 78MHz, respectively.  
The minimum bus clock is 6.25MHz for the 32-bit mode  
and 8.33MHz for the 24-bit mode. With such a flexible  
data configuration, the GMSL is able to support XGA  
(1280 x 768) or dual-view WVGA (2 x 854 x 480) display  
panels. For image sensing, it supports three 10-bit cam-  
era links simultaneously with a pixel clock up to 78MHz.  
The 24-bit mode handles 21-bit data and control signals  
2
signaling. The peripheral programming uses I C format  
or the default GMSL UART format. A separate bypass  
mode enables communication using a full-duplex, user-  
defined UART format. The control link between the  
MAX9259 and MAX9260 allows FC connectivity to either  
device or peripherals to support video-display or image-  
sensing applications.  
The AC-coupled serial link uses 8B/10B coding. The  
MAX9259 serializer features a programmable driver  
preemphasis and the MAX9260 deserializer features  
a programmable channel equalizer to extend the link  
length and enhance the link reliability. Both devices have  
a programmable spread-spectrum feature for reducing  
EMI on the serial link output (MAX9259) and parallel data  
outputs (MAX9260). The differential serial link input and  
output pins comply with the ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-  
4-2 ESD-protection standards. The core supplies for the  
MAX9259/MAX9260 are 1.8V and 3.3V, respectively.  
Both devices use an I/O supply from 1.8V to 3.3V  
2
plus an I S audio signal. The 32-bit mode handles 29-bit  
2
data and control signals plus an I S audio signal. Any  
combination and sequence of color video data, video  
sync, and control signals make up the 21-bit or 29-bit  
2
parallel data on DIN_ and DOUT_. The I S port supports  
the sampled audio data at a rate from 8kHz to 192kHz  
and the audio word length of anywhere between 4 to  
32 bits. The embedded control channel forms a UART  
link between the serializer and deserializer. The UART  
link can be set to half-duplex mode or full-duplex mode  
depending on the application. The GMSL supports  
UART rates from 100kbps to 1Mbps. Using this control  
link, a host ECU or FC communicates with the serializer  
and deserializer, as well as the peripherals in the remote  
Register Mapping  
The FC configures various operating conditions of the  
GMSL through registers in the MAX9259/MAX9260.  
The default device addresses stored in the R0 and  
R1 registers of the MAX9259/MAX9260 are 0x80 and  
0x90, respectively. Write to the R0/R1 registers in both  
devices to change the device address of the MAX9259  
or MAX9260.

nal through the serial link. The MAX9260 deserializer  
recovers the embedded serial clock and then samples,  
decodes, and descrambles the data onto the paral-  
lel output bus. Figures 22 and 23 show the serial-data  
packet format prior to scrambling and 8B/10B coding.  
For the 24-bit or 32-bit mode, the first 21 or 29 serial  
bits come from DIN[20:0] or DIN[28:0], respectively.  
The audio channel bit (ACB) contains an encoded audio  
Parallel Inputs and Outputs  
The parallel bus uses two selectable bus widths, 24  
bits and 32 bits. BWS selects the bus width according  
to Table 3. In 24-bit mode, DIN21–DIN28 are not used  
and are internally pulled down. For both modes, SD,  
2
SCK, and WS pins are dedicated for I S audio data. The  
assignments of the first 21 or 29 signals are interchange-  
able and appear in the same order at both sides of the  
serial link. In image-sensing applications, disabling the  
2
signal derived from the three I S inputs (SD, SCK, and  
2
WS). The forward control channel (FCC) bit carries the  
forward control data. The last bit (PCB) is the parity bit of  
the previous 23 or 31 bits.  
I S audio channel (through the MAX9259 and MAX9260  
internal registers) allows the MAX9259 to serialize three  
10-bit camera data streams through DIN[0:28] plus SD  
inputs. The parallel bus accepts data clock rates from  
8.33MHz to 104MHz for the 24-bit mode and 6.25MHz to  
78MHz for the 32-bit mode.  
Reverse Control Channel  
The MAX9259/MAX9260 use the reverse control channel  
2
to send I C/UART and interrupt signals in the opposite  
direction of the video stream from the deserializer to  
the serializer. The reverse control channel and forward  
video data coexist on the same twisted pair forming a  
bidirectional link. The reverse control channel operates  
independently from the forward control channel. The  
reverse control channel is available 500Fs after power-  
up. The MAX9259 temporarily disables the reverse con-  
trol channel for 350Fs after starting/stopping the forward  
serial link.  
Serial Link Signaling and Data Format  
The MAX9259 high-speed data serial output uses  
CML signaling with programmable preemphasis and  
AC-coupling. The MAX9260 high-speed receiver uses  
AC-coupling and programmable channel equalization.  
Together, the GMSL operates at up to 3.125Gbps over  
STP cable lengths up to 15m.  
The MAX9259 serializer scrambles and encodes the  
parallel input bits, and sends the 8B/10B coded sig-

Parallel Data-Rate Selection  
Additional MCLK Output  
for Audio Applications  
Some audio DACs such as the MAX9850 do not require  
a synchronous main clock (MCLK), while other DACs  
require MCLK to be a specific multiple of WS. If an audio  
DAC chip needs the MCLK to be a multiple of WS, syn-  
The MAX9259/MAX9260 use the DRS inputs to set the  
parallel data rate. Set DRS high to use a low-speed par-  
allel data rate in the range of 6.25MHz to 12.5MHz (32-bit  
mode) or 8.33MHz to 16.66MHz (24-bit mode). Set DRS  
low for normal operation with parallel data rates higher  
than 12.5MHz (32-bit mode) or 16.66MHz (24-bit mode).  
2
chronize the I S audio data with PCLK_ of the GMSL,  
which is typical for most applications. Select the PCLK_  
to be the multiple of WS, or use a clock synthesis chip,  
such as the MAX9491, to regenerate the required MCLK  
from PCLK_ or SCK.  
Audio Channel  
2
The I S audio channel supports audio sampling rates  
from 8kHz to 192kHz and audio word lengths from 4 bits  
to 32 bits. The audio bit clock (SCK) does not need to be  
synchronized with PCLKIN. The MAX9259 automatically  
encodes audio data into a single bit stream synchronous  
with PCLKIN. The MAX9260 decodes the audio stream  
and stores audio words in a FIFO. Audio rate detection  
uses an internal oscillator to continuously determine the  
For audio applications that cannot directly use the  
PCLKOUT output, the MAX9260 provides a divided  
MCLK output on DOUT28 at the expense of one less  
parallel line in 32-bit mode (24-bit mode is not affected).  
By default, DOUT28 operates as a parallel data output  
and MCLK is turned off. Set MCLKDIV (MAX9260 regis-  
ter 0x12, D[6:0]) to a non-zero value to enable the MCLK  
output. Set MCLKDIV to 0x00 to disable MCLK and set  
DOUT28 as a parallel data output.

treated as a regular parallel data pin.

than 60MHz. MCLK frequencies derived from PCLK_  
(MCLKSRC = 0) are not affected by spread-spectrum  
settings in the deserializer (MAX9260). Enabling spread  
spectrum in the serializer (MAX9259), however, intro-  
duces spread spectrum into MCLK. Spread-spectrum  
settings of either device do not affect MCLK frequencies  
derived from the internal oscillator. The internal oscilla-  
tor frequency ranges from 100MHz to 150MHz over all  
process corners and operating conditions.  
In bypass mode, the FC bypasses the MAX9259/  
MAX9260 and communicates with the peripherals direct-  
ly using its own defined UART protocol. The FC cannot  
access the MAX9259/MAX9260’s registers in this mode.  
Peripherals accessed through the forward control chan-  
nel using the UART interface need to handle at least one  
PCLK_ period of jitter due to the asynchronous sampling  
of the UART signal by PCLK_.  
Control-Channel and Register Programming  
The FC uses the control link to send and receive control  
data over the STP link simultaneously with the high-speed  
data. Configuring the CDS pin allows the FC to control the  
link from either the MAX9259 or the MAX9260 side to sup-  
port video-display or image-sensing applications.  
The MAX9259 embeds control signals going to the  
MAX9260 in the high-speed forward link. Do not send  
a low value longer than 100Fs in either base or bypass  
mode. The MAX9260 uses a proprietary differential line  
coding to send signals back towards the MAX9259. The  
speed of the control link ranges from 100kbps to 1Mbps  
in both directions. The MAX9259/MAX9260 automatically  
detect the control-channel bit rate in base mode. Packet  
bit rates can vary up to 3.5x from the previous bit rate  
(see the Changing the Data Frequency section). Figure  
24 shows the UART protocol for writing and reading in  
base mode between the FC and the MAX9259/MAX9260.  
The control link between the FC and the MAX9259 or  
MAX9260 runs in base mode or bypass mode accord-  
ing to the mode selection (MS) input of the device con-  
nected to the FC. Base mode is a half-duplex control link  
and the bypass mode is a full-duplex control link. In base  
mode, the FC is the host and accesses the registers of  
both the MAX9259 and MAX9260 from either side of the  
link by using the GMSL UART protocol. The FC can also  
program the peripherals on the remote side by sending  
the UART packets to the MAX9259 or MAX9260, with  
Figure 25 shows the UART data format. Even parity is  
used. Figures 26 and 27 detail the formats of the SYNC  
byte (0x79) and ACK byte (0xC3). The FC and the con-  
nected slave chip generate the SYNC byte and ACK  
byte, respectively. Certain events such as device wake-  
up and interrupt generate signals on the control path and  
should be ignored by the FC. All data written to the inter-  
nal registers do not take affect until after the acknowl-  
edge byte is sent. This allows the FC to verify that write  
commands are processed without error, even if the result  
of the write command directly affects the serial link. The  
slave uses the SYNC byte to synchronize with the host  
UART data rate automatically. If the INT or MS inputs of  
the MAX9260 toggles while there is control-channel com-  
munication, the control-channel communication can be  
corrupted. In the event of a missed acknowledge, the FC  
2
UART packets converted to I C by the device on the  
remote side of the link (MAX9260 for LCD or MAX9259  
for image-sensing applications). The FC communicates  
with a UART peripheral in base mode (through INTTYPE  
register settings) using the half-duplex default GMSL  
UART protocol of the MAX9259 and MAX9260. The  
device addresses of the MAX9259 and MAX9260 in the  
base mode are programmable. The default values are  
0x80 and 0x90, respectively.  
2
In base mode, when the peripheral interface uses I C  
(default), the MAX9259/MAX9260 only convert packets  
that have device addresses different from those of the

*Negative preemphasis levels denote deemphasis.  
preemphasis levels are deemphasis levels in which the  
preemphasized swing level is the same as normal swing,  
but the no-transition data is deemphasized. Program the  
preemphasis levels through register 0x05 D[3:0] of the  
MAX9259. This preemphasis function compensates the  
high-frequency loss of the cable and enables reliable  
transmission over longer link distances. Additionally, a  
lower power drive mode can be entered by program-  
ming CMLLVL bits (0x05 D[5:4]) to reduce the driver  
strength down to 75% (CMLLVL = 10), or 50% (CMLLVL  
= 01) from 100% (CMLLVL = 11, default).  
Interrupt Control  
The INT of the MAX9259 is the interrupt output and the  
INT of the MAX9260 is the interrupt input. The interrupt  
output on the MAX9259 follows the transitions at the  
interrupt input of the MAX9260. This interrupt function  
supports remote-side functions such as touch-screen  
peripherals, remote power-up, or remote monitoring.  
Interrupts that occur during periods where the reverse  
control channel is disabled, such as link startup/shut-  
down, are automatically resent once the reverse control  
channel becomes available again. Bit D4 of register  
0x06 in the MAX9260 also stores the interrupt input state.  
Writing to the SETINT register bit also sets the INT output  
of the MAX9259. In addition, the FC sets the INT output  
of the MAX9259 by writing to the SETINT register bit. In  
normal operation, the state of the interrupt output chang-  
es when the interrupt input on the MAX9260 toggles.  
Line Equalizer  
The MAX9260 includes an adjustable line equalizer to  
further compensate cable attenuation at high frequen-  
cies. The cable equalizer has 11 selectable levels of  
compensation from 2.1dB to 13dB (Table 7). The EQS  
input selects the default equalization level at power-up.  
The state of EQS is latched upon power-up or when  
resuming from power-down mode. To select other  
equalization levels, set the corresponding register bits  
in the MAX9260 (0x05 D[3:0]). Use equalization in the  
MAX9260, together with preemphasis in the MAX9259 to  
create the most reliable link for a given cable.  
Preemphasis Driver  
The serial line driver in the MAX9259 employs current-  
mode logic (CML) signaling. The driver generates  
an adjustable preemphasized waveform according to  
the cable length and characteristics. There are 13  
preemphasis settings, as shown in Table 6. Negative

Spread Spectrum  
To reduce the EMI generated by the transitions on the  
serial link and parallel outputs, both the MAX9259 and  
MAX9260 support spread spectrum. Turning on spread  
spectrum on the MAX9260 spreads the parallel video  
outputs. Turning on spread spectrum on the MAX9259  
spreads the serial link, along with the MAX9260 parallel  
outputs. Do not enable spread spectrum for both the  
MAX9259 and MAX9260. The six selectable spread-  
spectrum rates at the MAX9259 serial output are Q0.5%,  
Q1%, Q1.5%, Q2%, Q3%, and Q4% (Table 8). Some  
spread-spectrum rates can only be used at lower PCLK_  
frequencies (Table 9). There is no PCLK_ frequency limit  
for the 0.5% spread rate. The two selectable spread-  
spectrum rates at the MAX9260 parallel outputs are Q2%  
and Q4% (Table 10).

Manual Programming of the Spread-  
Spectrum Divider  
The modulation rates for the MAX9259 or the MAX9260  
relate to the PCLK_ frequency as follows:  
Turning on spread spectrum on either the MAX9259 or  
MAX9260 side does not affect the audio data stream.  
Changes in the MAX9259 spread settings only affect  
MCLK output if it is derived from PCLK_ (MCLKSRC = 0).

Both devices include a sawtooth divider to control the  
spread-modulation rate. Autodetection or manual pro-  
gramming of the PCLK_ operation range guarantees a  
spread-spectrum modulation frequency within 20kHz to  
40kHz. Additionally, manual configuration of the saw-  
tooth divider (SDIV, 0x03 D[5:0]) allows the user to set a  
specific modulation frequency for a specific PCLK_ rate.  
Always keep the modulation frequency between 20kHz  
to 40kHz to ensure proper operation.

To program the SDIV setting, first look up the modulation  
coefficient according to the part number and desired  
bit-width and spread-spectrum settings. Solve the above  
equation for SDIV using the desired parallel clock and  
modulation frequencies. If the calculated SDIV value is  
larger than the maximum allowed SDIV value in Tables  
11 or 12, set SDIV to the maximum value.  
Video-Display Applications  
For the video-display application, with a remote display  
unit, connect the FC to the serializer (MAX9259) and set  
CDS = low for both the MAX9259 and MAX9260. Table  
13 summarizes the four startup cases based on the set-  
tings of AUTOS and MS.  
Case 1: Autostart Mode  
After power-up or when PWDN transitions from low  
to high for both the serializer and deserializer, the  
serial link establishes if a stable PCLK_ is present. The  
MAX9259 locks to PCLK_ and sends the serial data to  
the MAX9260. The MAX9260 then detects activity on the  
serial link and locks to the input serial data.  
Sleep Mode  
The serializer/deserializer include a low-power sleep  
mode to reduce power consumption on the device not  
attached to the FC (MAX9260 in LCD applications and  
MAX9259 in camera applications). Set the correspond-  
ing remote IC’s SLEEP bit to 1 to initiate sleep mode. The  
MAX9259 sleeps immediately after setting its SLEEP =  
1. The MAX9260 sleeps after serial link inactivity or 8ms  
(whichever arrives first) after setting its SLEEP = 1. See  
the Link Startup Procedure section for details on waking  
up the device for different FC and starting conditions.  
Case 2: Standby Start Mode  
After power-up, or when PWDN transitions from low  
to high for both the serializer and deserializer, the  
MAX9260 starts up in sleep mode, and the MAX9259  
stays in standby mode (does not send serial data). Use  
the FC and program the MAX9259 to set SEREN = 1 to  
establish a video link or CLINKEN = 1 to establish the  
configuration link. After locking to a stable PCLK_ (for  
SEREN = 1) or the internal oscillator (for CLINKEN = 1),  
the MAX9259 sends a wake-up signal to the deserial-  
izer. The MAX9260 exits sleep mode after locking to the  
serial data and sets SLEEP = 0. If after 8ms the deserial-  
izer does not lock to the input serial data, the MAX9260  
goes back to sleep, and the internal sleep bit remains  
uncleared (SLEEP = 1).  
The FC side device cannot enter into sleep mode, and its  
SLEEP bit remains at 0. Use the PWDN input pin to bring  
the FC side device into a low-power state.  
Configuration Link Mode  
The MAX9259/MAX9260 include a low-speed configura-  
tion link to allow control-data connection between the two  
devices in the absence of a valid parallel clock input. In  
either display or camera applications, the configuration  
link can be used to program equalizer/preemphasis  
or other registers before establishing the video link.  
An internal oscillator provides PCLK_ for establishing  
the serial configuration link between the MAX9259 and  
MAX9260. The parallel output clock and data lines are  
disabled in the MAX9260. The LOCK output remains  
low even after a successful configuration link lock. Set  
CLINKEN = 1 on the MAX9259 to turn on the configura-  
tion link. The configuration link remains active as long as  
the video link has not been enabled. The video link over-  
rides the configuration link and attempts to lock when  
SEREN = 1.  
Case 3: Remote Side Autostart Mode  
After power-up, or when PWDN transitions from low to  
high, the remote device (MAX9260) starts up and tries  
to lock to an incoming serial signal with sufficient power.  
The host side (MAX9259) is in standby mode and does  
not try to establish a link. Use the FC and program the  
MAX9259 to set SEREN = 1 (and apply a stable PCLK_)  
to establish a video link, or CLINKEN = 1 to establish the  
configuration link. In this case, the MAX9260 ignores the  
short wake-up signal sent from the MAX9259.  
Case 4: Remote Side in Sleep Mode  
After power-up or when PWDN transitions from low to  
high, the remote device (MAX9260) starts up in sleep  
mode. The high-speed link establishes automatically  
after MAX9259 powers up with a stable PCLK_ and  
sends a wake-up signal to the MAX9260. Use this mode  
in applications where the MAX9260 powers up before  
the MAX9259.  
Link Startup Procedure  
Table 13 lists four startup cases for video-display  
applications. Table 14 lists two startup cases for image-  
sensing applications. In either display or image-sensing  
applications, the control link is always available after  
the high-speed data link or the configuration link is  
established and the MAX9259/MAX9260 registers or the  
peripherals are ready for programming.

Image-Sensing Applications  
For image-sensing applications, with remote camera  
unit(s), connect the FC to the deserializer (MAX9260)  
and set CDS = high for both the MAX9259 and MAX9260.  
The MAX9260 powers up normally (SLEEP = 0) and con-  
tinuously tries to lock to a valid serial input. Table 14  
summarizes the two startup cases, based on the state of  
the MAX9259 AUTOS pin.  
After power-up, or when PWDN transitions from low to  
high, the MAX9259 starts up in sleep mode. To wake up  
the MAX9259, use the FC to send a regular UART frame  
containing at least three rising edges (e.g., 0x66), at a  
bit rate no greater than 1Mbps. The low-power wake-up  
receiver of the MAX9259 detects the wake-up frame over  
the reverse control channel and powers up. Reset the  
sleep bit (SLEEP = 0) of the MAX9259 using a regular  
control-channel write packet to power up the device fully.  
Send the sleep bit write packet at least 500Fs after the  
wake-up frame. The MAX9259 goes back to sleep mode  
if its sleep bit is not cleared within 8ms (typ) after detect-  
ing a wake-up frame.  
Case 1: Autostart Mode  
After power-up, or when PWDN transitions from low to  
high, the MAX9259 locks to a stable PCLKIN and sends  
the high-speed data to the MAX9260. The MAX9260  
locks to the serial data and outputs the parallel video  
data and PCLKOUT.

CDS pins are set to high. However, if the CDS pin of the  
Applications Information  
MAX9260 Error Checking  
The MAX9260 checks the serial link for errors and stores  
the number of detected decoding errors in the 8-bit  
register (DECERR, 0x0D). If a large number of decoding  
errors are detected within a short duration, the deserial-  
izer loses lock and stops the error counter. The deserial-  
izer then attempts to relock to the serial data. DECERR  
resets upon successful video link lock, successful  
readout of DECERR (through UART), or whenever auto-  
error reset is enabled. The MAX9260 does not check  
for decoding errors during the internal PRBS test and  
DECERR is reset to 0x00.  
MAX9259 is low and the CDS pin of the MAX9260 is high,  
then the MAX9259/MAX9260 can both connect to FCs  
simultaneously. In such a case, the FCs on either side  
can communicate with the MAX9259/MAX9260 UART  
protocol.  
Contentions of the control link may happen if the FCs  
on both sides are using the link at the same time. The  
MAX9259/MAX9260 do not provide the solution for  
contention avoidance. The serializer/deserealizer do not  
send an acknowledge frame when communication fails  
due to contention. Users can always implement a higher-  
layer protocol to avoid the contention. In addition, if UART  
communication across the serial link is not required, the  
FCs can disable the forward and reverse control channel  
through the FWDCCEN and REVCCEN bits (0x04 D[1:0])  
in the MAX9259/MAX9260. UART communication across  
the serial link is stopped and contention between FCs no  
longer occurs. During the dual FC operation, if one of the  
CDS pins on either side changes state, the link resumes  
the corresponding state described in the Link Startup  
Procedure section.  
ERR Output  
The MAX9260 has an open-drain ERR output. This  
output asserts low whenever the number of decoding  
errors exceed the error threshold (ERRTHR, 0x0C) dur-  
ing normal operation, or when at least one PRBS error is  
detected during PRBS test. ERR reasserts high when-  
ever DECERR (0x0D) resets, due to DECERR readout,  
video link lock, or autoerror reset.  
Autoerror Reset  
The default method to reset errors is to read the respec-  
tive error registers in the MAX9260 (0x0D, 0x0E). Auto-  
error reset clears the decoding-error counter (DECERR)  
and the ERR output ~1Fs after ERR goes low. Autoerror  
reset is disabled on power-up. Enable autoerror reset  
through AUTORST (0x06 D6). Autoerror reset does not  
run when the device is in PRBS test mode.  
As an example of dual FC use in an image-sensing link,  
the MAX9259 may be in sleep mode and waiting to be  
waked up by the MAX9260. After wake-up, the serializer-  
side FC sets the MAX9259 CDS pin low and assumes  
master control of the MAX9259 registers.  
Jitter-Filtering PLL  
In some applications, the parallel bus input clock to the  
MAX9259 (PCLKIN) includes noise, which reduces link  
reliability. The MAX9259 has a narrow-band jitter-filtering  
PLL to attenuate frequency components outside the  
PLL’s bandwidth (< 100kHz typ). Enable the jitter-filtering  
PLL by setting DISFPLL = 0 (0x05 D6).  
Self PRBS Test  
The MAX9259/MAX9260 link includes a PRBS pat-  
tern generator and bit-error verification function. Set  
PRBSEN = 1 (0x04 D5) first in the MAX9259 and then  
the MAX9260 to start the PRBS test. Set PRBSEN = 0  
(0x04 D5) first in the MAX9260 and then the MAX9259  
to exit the PRBS self test. The MAX9260 uses an 8-bit  
register (0x0E) to count the number of detected errors.  
The control link also controls the start and stop of the  
error counting. During PRBS mode, the device does not  
count decoding errors and the ERR output reflects PRBS  
errors only. Autoerror reset does not run when the device  
is in PRBS mode.  
Changing the Data Frequency  
Both the video data rate (f  
) and the control data  
PCLK_  
rate (f  
) can be changed on-the-fly to support  
UART  
applications with multiple clock speeds. Slow speed/  
performance modes allow significant power savings  
when a system’s full capabilities are not required. Enable  
the MAX9259/MAX9260 link after PCLK_ stabilizes.  
Stop PCLKIN for 5µs and restart the serial link or toggle  
SEREN after each change in the parallel clock frequency  
to recalibrate any automatic settings if a clean frequency  
change cannot be guaranteed. The reverse control  
channel remains unavailable for 350Fs after serial link  
Microcontrollers on Both Sides  
of the GMSL Link (Dual µC Control)  
Usually the FC is either on the serializer (MAX9259)  
side for video-display applications, or on the deserial-  
izer (MAX9260) side for image-sensing applications. For  
the former case, both the CDS pins of the MAX9259/  
start or stop. Limit on-the-fly changes in f  
to fac-  
UART  
tors of less than 3.5 at a time to ensure that the device  
______________________________________________________________________________________ 39  
Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link with Spread  
Spectrum and Full-Duplex Control Channel  
recognizes the UART sync pattern. For example, when  
lowering the UART frequency from 1Mbps to 100kbps,  
first send data at 333kbps and then at 100kbps to have  
reduction ratios of 3 and 3.333, respectively.  
Staggered Parallel Data Outputs  
The MAX9260 staggers the parallel data outputs to  
reduce EMI and noise. Staggering outputs also reduce  
the power-supply transient requirements. By default,  
the deserializer staggers outputs according to Table  
16. Disable output staggering through the DISSTAG bit  
(0x06 D7)  
LOCK Output Loopback  
Connect the LOCK output to the INT input of the  
MAX9260 to loopback LOCK to the MAX9259. The  
interrupt output on the MAX9259 follows the transitions  
at the LOCK output of the MAX9260. Reverse-channel  
communication does not require an active forward link  
to operate and accurately tracks the LOCK status of the  
video link. LOCK asserts for video link only and not for  
the configuration link.

Choosing I C/UART Pullup Resistors  
2
Both I C/UART open-drain lines require pullup resistors  
to provide a logic-high level. There are tradeoffs between  
power dissipation and speed, and a compromise must  
be made in choosing pullup resistor values. Every device  
connected to the bus introduces some capacitance even  
2
when the device is not in operation. I C specifies 300ns  
MAX9260 GPIOs  
The MAX9260 has two open-drain GPIOs available.  
GPIO1OUT and GPIO0OUT (0x06 D3, D1) set the output  
state of the GPIOs. The GPIO input buffers are always  
enabled. The input states are stored in GPIO1 and  
GPIO0 (0x06 D2, D0). Set GPIO1OUT/GPIO0OUT to 1  
when using GPIO1/GPIO0 as an input.  
rise times to go from low to high (30% to 70%) for fast  
mode, which is defined for data rates up to 400kbps (see  
2
the I C specifications in the Electrical Characteristics  
table for details). To meet the fast-mode rise-time  
requirement, choose the pullup resistors so that rise time  
t
= 0.85 x R  
x C  
< 300ns. The waveforms

Line-Fault Detection  
The line-fault detector in the MAX9259 monitors for line  
failures such as short to ground, short to power supply,  
and open link for system fault diagnosis. Figure 3 shows  
the required external resistor connections. LFLT = low  
when a line fault is detected and LFLT = high when the  
line returns to normal. The line-fault type is stored in  
0x08 D[3:0] of the MAX9259. The fault-detector thresh-  
old voltages are referenced to the MAX9259 ground.  
Additional passive components set the DC level of the  
cable (Figure 3). If the MAX9259 and MAX9260 grounds  
are different, the link DC voltage during normal operation  
can vary and cross one of the fault-detection thresholds.  
For the fault-detection circuit, select the resistor’s power  
rating to handle a short to the battery. Table 15 lists the  
mapping for line-fault types.

slow. The MAX9259/MAX9260 support I C/UART rates  
up to 1Mbps.  
MAX9260 derive power from an IOVDD of 1.7V to 3.6V.  
The input levels or output levels scale with IOVDD.  
Proper voltage-supply bypassing is essential for high-  
frequency circuit stability.  
AC-Coupling  
AC-coupling isolates the receiver from DC voltages up to  
the voltage rating of the capacitor. Four capacitors—two  
at the serializer output and two at the deserializer input—  
are needed for proper link operation and to provide  
protection if either end of the cable is shorted to a high  
voltage. AC-coupling blocks low-frequency ground shifts  
and low-frequency common-mode noise.  
Cables and Connectors  
Interconnect for CML typically has a differential imped-  
ance of 100I. Use cables and connectors that have  
matched differential impedance to minimize impedance  
discontinuities. Twisted-pair and shielded twisted-pair  
cables offer superior signal quality compared to ribbon  
cable and tend to generate less EMI due to magnetic-  
field canceling effects. Balanced cables pick up noise  
as common mode rejected by the CML receiver. Table  
17 lists the suggested cables and connectors used in  
the GMSL link.  
Selection of AC-Coupling Capacitors  
Voltage droop and the digital sum variation (DSV) of  
transmitted symbols cause signal transitions to start  
from different voltage levels. Because the transition time  
is finite, starting the signal transition from different volt-  
age levels causes timing jitter. The time constant for an  
AC-coupled link needs to be chosen to reduce droop  
and jitter to an acceptable level. The RC network for an  
AC-coupled link consists of the CML receiver termination  
Board Layout  
Separate the parallel signals and CML high-speed serial  
signals to prevent crosstalk. Use a four-layer PCB with  
separate layers for power, ground, CML, and digital  
signals. Layout PCB traces close to each other and have  
a 100I differential characteristic impedance. The trace  
dimensions depend on the type of trace used (microstrip  
or stripline). Note that two 50I PCB traces do not  
have 100I differential impedance when brought close  
together—the impedance goes down when the traces  
are brought closer.  
resistor (R ), the CML driver termination resistor (R ),  
and the series AC-coupling capacitors (C). The RC time  
constant for four equal-value series capacitors is (C x  
TR  
TD  
(R + R ))/4. R and R are required to match the

transmission line impedance (usually 100I). This leaves  
the capacitor selection to change the system time con-  
stant. Use at least 0.2FF (100V) high-frequency surface-  
mount ceramic capacitors to pass the lower speed  
reverse-channel signal. Use capacitors with a case size  
less than 3.2mm x 1.6mm to have lower parasitic effects  
to the high-speed signal.  
Route the PCB traces for a CML channel (there are two  
conductors per CML channel) in parallel to maintain the  
differential characteristic impedance. Avoid vias. If vias  
must be used, use only one pair per CML channel and  
place the via for each line at the same point along the  
length of the PCB traces. This way, any reflections occur  
at the same time. Do not make vias into test points for
