GMSL deserializer for coaxial or STP camera links
The Maxim Integrated MAX9286GTN+ is a GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) deserializer that receives serialized data from a remote camera or sensor over a single coaxial or STP cable and converts it back to a parallel output. It operates at a data rate of 1 Mbps and is designed for automotive surround-view, driver monitoring, and other camera-based systems that need to run video and control signals over a single coax pair. Rated for the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, this part is suited for under-hood or cabin-mounted camera modules where ambient temperatures can swing well beyond commercial limits.
Package and supply rails — what the layout engineer needs
The 1 Mbps serial link is relatively slow by modern GMSL standards, which simplifies the layout: no controlled-impedance trace gymnastics for the coax input at this speed, but keep the deserializer close to the connector to minimise stub length on the video bus.
Lifecycle and compliance status
ROHS3 compliant, so it passes the EU material restrictions without exemption paperwork.
