Analog Devices Inc. MAX96724/F/R GMSL2/1 to CSI-2 Deserializer

Analog Devices MAX96724/F/R Quad Tunneling GMSL2/1 to CSI-2 Deserializers convert four GMSL™2/1 inputs to 1, 2, or 4 MIPI D-PHY or C-PHY outputs. The MAX96724/F/R enables coexisting transmit bidirectional transmissions over 50Ω coax or 100Ω STP cables that meet the GMSL channel specification. Using industry-standard coax or STP interconnects, up to four remotely located sensors can be supported. Each GMSL2 serial link works at a fixed rate of 3Gbps or 6Gbps in the forward direction and 187.5Mbps in the reverse direction. Analog Devices MAX96724/F/R Deserializers enable aggregation and replicating video data, allowing streams from multiple remotely located sensors to be merged and routed to one or more available CSI-2 outputs.
