MAX96772GTM/V+

MAX96772GTM/V+ is Maxim’s automotive‑grade GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) serializer/deserializer (SerDes) device used to move high‑definition video, audio, and control data between an ECU and camera/sensor heads over a single coax cable. It provides high‑speed data channels, clock/data recovery, and link management with automotive reliability and extended temperature operation. The GTM/V+ suffix indicates the package variant and automotive temperature range. Typical applications include ADAS and surround‑view camera systems that require long cable runs and minimal wiring. Benefits include simplified cabling, reduced EMI, longer reach, and robust multi‑camera networking with appropriate error handling.

Here are concise features typical for the MAX96772GTM/V+ (GMSL/FPD-Link III automotive serializer/deserializer):
- Automotive-grade GMSL (FPD-Link III) serializer/deserializer for cameras and displays
- Supports multiple video channels over a single GMSL link; flexible lane usage and topology (point-to-point, daisy-chain/bridge)
- Bidirectional control and status over the GMSL link (I2C/remote management; register access and monitoring)
- Flexible data-rate operation with automatic rate negotiation and lane multiplexing
- Built-in power management: on-chip regulators, level shifting, wake/sleep modes
- Wide operating conditions: extended temperature range and robust automotive qualification (AEC-Q100)
- Protection and reliability: ESD/short-circuit protection, overcurrent and thermal shutdown, fault detection
- Low power design and EMI-friendly operation; multiple package options
- Available in GTM/V+ package variants
Note: For the exact data rates, channel counts, I2C specifics, and pinout details, please refer to the official MAX96772GTM/V+ datasheet.

Pin count: 64 pins (GTM/V+ package, QFN64).
Function: Automotive GMSL transceiver (FPD-Link III/GMSL family) used as a serializer/deserializer for high‑speed video data over coax between cameras and the host ECU.

- Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices).
- What kind of company: A multinational semiconductor company that designs and markets analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits.

Application areas of MAX96772GTM/V+:
- Automotive camera networks (ADAS, surround-view, front/rear cameras)
- In-vehicle high-speed video/data links over coax to ECUs
- Infotainment and driver-monitoring camera systems
- Industrial/machine-vision applications requiring rugged, high-speed video transmission
(Uses FPD-Link III for long-distance, single-cable video and data transmission in automotive environments.)

MAX96772GTM/V+ is in a 64-pin LQFP package (14×14 mm), RoHS lead-free variant.
