General Description
The MAX9205/MAX9207 serializers transform 10-bit-
wide parallel LVCMOS/LVTTL data into a serial high-
speed bus low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS)
data stream. The serializers typically pair with deserial-
izers like the MAX9206/MAX9208, which receive the
serial output and transform it back to 10-bit-wide paral-
lel data.
The MAX9205/MAX9207 transmit serial data at speeds
up to 400Mbps and 660Mbps, respectively, over PCB
traces or twisted-pair cables. Since the clock is recov-
ered from the serial data stream, clock-to-data and
data-to-data skew that would be present with a parallel
bus are eliminated.
The serializers require no external components and few
control signals. The input data strobe edge is selected
by TCLK_R/F. PWRDN is used to save power when the
devices are not in use. Upon power-up, a synchroniza-
tion mode is activated, which is controlled by two SYNC
inputs, SYNC1 and SYNC2.
The MAX9205 can lock to a 16MHz to 40MHz system
clock, while the MAX9207 can lock to a 40MHz to
66MHz system clock. The serializer output is held in
high impedance until the device is fully locked to the
local system clock, or when the device is in power-
down mode.
Both the devices operate from a single +3.3V supply,
are specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C, and
are available in 28-pin SSOP packages.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
