MAX923ESA

MAX923ESA is a high-speed multi-channel serializer from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) in the MAX923x family. It converts parallel sensor data (such as camera video) into a high-rate serial stream for transmission over a single LVDS link to a deserializer near the host processor. Targeted at automotive and industrial imaging, it typically handles multiple data channels (e.g., 4–8) at high data rates, using an on-chip PLL to generate the serial clock and offering programmable data rate and timing with low jitter. A serial control interface (often SPI) configures formats, phase, and timing; features may include power-down, fault reporting, and mode selection. It is designed to pair with a corresponding MAX deserializer in a camera or machine-vision chain. For exact channel count, data-rate range, supply voltages, and package options, consult the latest Analog Devices data sheet.

There isn’t an exact cross-reference for MAX923ESA. Equivalents depend on its function (e.g., LVDS serializer/deserializer, LED driver, etc.) and key specs. Please share the device function and parameters (speed, voltage, package or the datasheet). I’ll provide closest substitutes from TI, Analog Devices, Onsemi, ST, etc.

Note: Exact features depend on the specific MAX923ESA variant. The MAX923ESA is part of Maxim’s GMSL/FPD-Link III automotive video link family. General features typically include:
- Automotive-grade device with wide temperature range
- High-speed GMSL/FPD-Link III serializer/deserializer for camera links
- Multi-channel support with per-channel data rates in the multi-Gbps range
- Built-in cable equalization and pre-emphasis for long cable runs
- I2C control interface for link rate, video formats, test patterns, and status
- Flexible video formats and optional dynamic link management
- Low-power operation and shutdown modes
- 3.3V I/O with compatible LVDS/LVCMOS signaling
- Robust ESD protection and rugged automotive robustness
