Programmable DC-Balance
21-Bit Deserializers
The MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216/MAX9220/
MAX9222 feature programmable DC balance, which
allows isolation between a serializer and deserializer
using AC-coupling. A deserializer decodes data transmitted by a MAX9209/MAX9211/MAX9213/MAX9215
serializer.
The MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216 have rising-edge output strobes, and when DC balance is not
programmed, are compatible with non-DC-balanced
21-bit deserializers such as the DS90CR216A and
DS90CR218A. The MAX9220/MAX9222 have fallingedge output strobes.
Two frequency versions and two DC-balance default conditions are available for maximum replacement flexibility
and compatibility with popular non-DC-balanced deserializers. The transition time of the single-ended outputs is
increased on the low-frequency version parts (MAX9210/
MAX9212/MAX9220) for reduced EMI. The LVDS inputs
meet IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD specification, ±15kV for
Air Discharge and ±8kV Contact Discharge.
The MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216/MAX9220/
MAX9222 are available in TSSOP and space-saving QFN
packages, and operate over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

General Description
The MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216/MAX9220/
MAX9222 deserialize three LVDS serial data inputs into
21 single-ended LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs. A parallel rate
LVDS clock received with the LVDS data streams provides timing for deserialization. The outputs have a separate supply, allowing 1.8V to 5V output logic levels.

Detailed Description
The MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9220 operate at a parallel
clock frequency of 8MHz to 34MHz in DC-balanced
mode and 10MHz to 40MHz in non-DC-balanced
mode. The MAX9214/MAX9216/MAX9222 operate at a
parallel clock frequency of 16MHz to 66MHz in DC-balanced mode and 20MHz to 85MHz in non-DC-balanced mode. The transition times of the single-ended
outputs are increased on the MAX9210/MAX9212/
MAX9220 for reduced EMI.
DC-balanced or non-DC-balanced operation is controlled by the DCB/NC pin (see Table 1 for DCB/NC
default settings and operating modes). In non-DC-balanced mode, each channel deserializes 7 bits every
cycle of the parallel clock. In DC-balanced mode, 9 bits
are deserialized every clock cycle (7 data bits + 2 DCbalance bits). The highest data rate in DC-balanced
mode for the MAX9214, MAX9216, and MAX9222 is
66MHz x 9 = 594Mbps. In non-DC-balanced mode, the
maximum data rate is 85MHz x 7 = 595Mbps.

MAX9215 serializers (which are companion devices to
the MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216/MAX9220/

and zeros transmitted on each channel. If +1 is assigned
to each binary 1 transmitted and -1 is assigned to each
binary 0 transmitted, the variation in the running sum of
assigned values is called the digital sum variation
(DSV). The maximum DSV for the data channels is 10.
At most, 10 more zeros than ones, or 10 more ones than

channel is five. Limiting the DSV and choosing the correct coupling capacitors maintains differential signal
amplitude and reduces jitter due to droop on AC-coupled links.
To obtain DC balance on the data channels, the serializer parallel data is inverted or not inverted, depending
on the sign of the digital sum at the word boundary.
Two complementary bits are appended to each group
of 7 parallel input data bits to indicate to the MAX9210/
MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216/MAX9220/MAX9222
deserializers whether the data bits are inverted (see
Figures 9 and 10). The deserializer restores the original
state of the parallel data. The LVDS clock signal alternates duty cycles of 4/9 and 5/9, which maintain DC
balance.

AC-Coupling Benefits
Bit errors experienced with DC-coupling can be eliminated by increasing the receiver common-mode voltage
range by AC-coupling. AC-coupling increases the common-mode voltage range of an LVDS receiver to nearly
the voltage rating of the capacitor. The typical LVDS driver output is 350mV centered on an offset voltage of
1.25V, making single-ended output voltages of 1.425V
and 1.075V. An LVDS receiver accepts signals from 0 to
2.4V, allowing approximately ±1V common-mode difference between the driver and receiver on a DC-coupled
link (2.4V - 1.425V = 0.975V and 1.075V - 0V = 1.075V).
Common-mode voltage differences may be due to
ground potential variation or common-mode noise. If
there is more than ±1V of difference, the receiver is not
guaranteed to read the input signal correctly and may
cause bit errors. AC-coupling filters low-frequency
ground shifts and common-mode noise and passes
high-frequency data. A common-mode voltage differ-
ence up to the voltage rating of the coupling capacitor
(minus half the differential swing) is tolerated. DC-balanced coding of the data is required to maintain the differential signal amplitude and limit jitter on an
AC-coupled link. A capacitor in series with each output
of the LVDS driver is sufficient for AC-coupling.
However, two capacitors—one at the serializer output
and one at the deserializer input—provide protection in
case either end of the cable is shorted to a high voltage.
Applications Information
Selection of AC-Coupling Capacitors
Voltage droop and the DSV of transmitted symbols
cause signal transitions to start from different voltage
levels. Because the transition time is finite, starting the
signal transition from different voltage levels causes
timing jitter. The time constant for an AC-coupled link
needs to be chosen to reduce droop and jitter to an
acceptable level.

Figure 12. Two Capacitors per Link, AC-Coupled, DC-Balanced Mode
The RC network for an AC-coupled link consists of the
LVDS receiver termination resistor (RT), the LVDS driver
output resistor (RO), and the series AC-coupling capacitors (C). The RC time constant for two equal-value
series capacitors is (C x (RT + RO))/2 (Figure 12). The
RC time constant for four equal-value series capacitors
is (C x (RT + RO))/4 (Figure 13).
RT is required to match the transmission line impedance (usually 100Ω) and RO is determined by the LVDS
driver design (the minimum differential output resistance of 78Ω for the MAX9209/MAX9211/MAX9213/
MAX9215 serializers is used in the following example).
This leaves the capacitor selection to change the system time constant.
In the following example, the capacitor value for a
droop of 2% is calculated. Jitter due to this droop is
then calculated assuming a 1ns transition time:
C = - (2 x tB x DSV) / (ln (1 - D) x (RT + RO)) (Eq 1)
where:
C = AC-coupling capacitor (F).
tB = bit time (s).
DSV = digital sum variation (integer).
ln = natural log.
D = droop (% of signal amplitude).
RT = termination resistor (Ω).
RO = output resistance (Ω).
Equation 1 is for two series capacitors (Figure 12). The
bit time (tB) is the period of the parallel clock divided by
9. The DSV is 10. See equation 3 for four series capacitors (Figure 13).
The capacitor for 2% maximum droop at 8MHz parallel
rate clock is:
C = - (2 x tB x DSV) / (ln (1 - D) x (RT + RO))
C = - (2 x 13.9ns x 10) / (ln (1 - 0.02) x (100Ω + 78Ω))
C = 0.0773µF

Jitter due to droop is proportional to the droop and
transition time:
tJ = tT x D (Eq 2)
where:
tJ = jitter (s).
tT = transition time (s) (0 to 100%).
D = droop (% of signal amplitude).
Jitter due to 2% droop and assumed 1ns transition time is:
tJ = 1ns x 0.02
tJ = 20ps
The transition time in a real system depends on the frequency response of the cable driven by the serializer.
The capacitor value decreases for a higher frequency
parallel clock and for higher levels of droop and jitter.
Use high-frequency, surface-mount ceramic capacitors.
Equation 1 altered for four series capacitors (Figure 13) is:
C = - (4 x tB x DSV) / (ln (1 - D) x (RT + RO)) (Eq 3)

Fail-Safe
The MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216/MAX9220/
MAX9222 have fail-safe LVDS inputs in non-DC-balanced mode (Figure 1). Fail-safe drives the outputs low
when the corresponding LVDS input is open, undriven
and shorted, or undriven and parallel terminated. The
fail-safe on the LVDS clock input drives all outputs low.
Fail-safe does not operate in DC-balanced mode.
Input Bias and Frequency Detection
In DC-balanced mode, the inverting and noninverting
LVDS inputs are internally connected to +1.2V through
42kΩ (min) to provide biasing for AC-coupling (Figure 1).
A frequency-detection circuit on the clock input detects
when the input is not switching, or is switching at low
frequency. In this case, all outputs are driven low. To
prevent switching due to noise when the clock input is
not driven, bias the clock input to differential +15mV by
connecting a 10kΩ ±1% pullup resistor between the
noninverting input and VCC, and a 10kΩ ±1% pulldown
resistor between the inverting input and ground. These
______________________________________________________________________________________
Programmable DC-Balance
21-Bit Deserializers
Unused LVDS Data Inputs
In non-DC-balanced mode, leave unused LVDS data
inputs open. In non-DC balanced mode, the input failsafe circuit drives the corresponding outputs low and no
pullup or pulldown resistors are needed. In DC-balanced
mode, at each unused LVDS data input, pull the inverting
input up to VCC using a 10kΩ resistor, and pull the noninverting input down to ground using a 10kΩ resistor. Do
not connect a termination resistor. The pullup and pulldown resistors drive the corresponding outputs low and
prevent switching due to noise.
PWRDWN
Driving PWRDWN low puts the outputs in high impedance, stops the PLL, and reduces supply current to
50µA or less. Driving PWRDWN high drives the outputs
low until the PLL locks. The outputs of two deserializers
can be bused to form a 2:1 mux with the outputs controlled by PWRDWN. Wait 100ns between disabling one
deserializer (driving PWRDWN low) and enabling the
second one (driving PWRDWN high) to avoid contention of the bused outputs.
Input Clock and PLL Lock Time
There is no required timing sequence for the application or reapplication of the parallel rate clock (RxCLK
IN) relative to PWRDWN, or to a power-supply ramp for
proper PLL lock. The PLL lock time is set by an internal
counter. The maximum time to lock is 32,800 clock
periods. Power and clock should be stable to meet the
lock time specification. When the PLL is locking, the
outputs are low.

Power-Supply Bypassing
There are separate on-chip power domains for digital
circuits, outputs, PLL, and LVDS inputs. Bypass each
VCC, VCCO, PLL VCC, and LVDS VCC pin with high-frequency, surface-mount ceramic 0.1µF and 0.001µF
capacitors in parallel as close to the device as possible, with the smallest value capacitor closest to the
supply pin.
Cables and Connectors
Interconnect for LVDS typically has a differential impedance of 100Ω. Use cables and connectors that have
matched differential impedance to minimize impedance
discontinuities.
Twisted-pair and shielded twisted-pair cables offer
superior signal quality compared to ribbon cable and
tend to generate less EMI due to magnetic field canceling effects. Balanced cables pick up noise as common
mode, which is rejected by the LVDS receiver.
Board Layout
Keep the LVTTL/LVCMOS outputs and LVDS input signals separated to prevent crosstalk. A four-layer PC
board with separate layers for power, ground, LVDS
inputs, and digital signals is recommended.
IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD Protection
The IEC 61000-4-2 standard specifies ESD tolerance
for electronic systems. The IEC 61000-4-2 model
(Figure 14) specifies a 150pF capacitor that is discharged into the device through a 330Ω resistor. The
MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216/MAX9220/
MAX9222 LVDS inputs are rated for IEC 61000-4-2
level 4 (±8kV contact discharge and ±15kV air discharge). IEC 61000-4-2 discharges higher peak current
and more energy than the HBM due to the lower series
resistance and larger capacitor. The HBM (Figure 15)
specifies a 100pF capacitor that is discharged into the
device through a 1.5kΩ resistor. All pins are rated for
±5kV HBM.

bias resistors, along with the 100Ω ±1% tolerance termination resistor, provide +15mV of differential input.
However, the +15mV bias causes degradation of
RSKM proportional to the slew rate of the clock input.
For example, if the clock transitions 250mV in 500ps,
the slew rate of 0.5mV/ps reduces RSKM by 30ps.

5V Tolerant Input
PWRDWN is 5V tolerant and is internally pulled down to
GND. DCB/NC is not 5V tolerant. The input voltage
range for DCB/NC is nominally ground to V CC .
Normally, DCB/NC is connected to VCC or ground.
Skew Margin (RSKM)
Skew margin (RSKM) is the time allowed for degradation of the serial data sampling setup and hold times by
sources other than the deserializer. The deserializer
sampling uncertainty is accounted for and does not
need to be subtracted from RSKM. The main outside
contributors of jitter and skew that subtract from RSKM
are interconnect intersymbol interference, serializer
pulse position uncertainty, and pair-to-pair path skew.
The maximum supply current in DC-balanced mode for
VCC = VCCO = 3.6V at fC = 34MHz is 106mA (from the
DC Electrical Characteristics table). Add 10.4mA to get
the total approximate maximum supply current at VCCO
= 5.5V and VCC = 3.6V.
If the output supply voltage is less than VCCO = 3.6V,
the reduced supply current can be calculated using the
same formula and method.
At high switching frequency, high supply voltage, and
high capacitive loading, power dissipation can exceed
the package power dissipation rating. Do not exceed
the maximum package power dissipation rating. See
the Absolute Maximum Ratings for maximum package
power dissipation capacity and temperature derating.
VCCO Output Supply and Power Dissipation
Rising- or Falling-Edge Output Strobe
The outputs have a separate supply (VCCO) for interfacing
to systems with 1.8V to 5V nominal input logic levels. The
DC Electrical Characteristics table gives the maximum
supply current for VCCO = 3.6V with 8pF load at several
switching frequencies with all outputs switching in the
worst-case switching pattern. The approximate incremental supply current for VCCO other than 3.6V with the same
8pF load and worst-case pattern can be calculated using:
The MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216 have a
rising-edge output strobe, which latches the parallel
output data into the next chip on the rising edge of
RxCLK OUT. The MAX9220/MAX9222 have a fallingedge output strobe, which latches the parallel output
data into the next chip on the falling edge of RxCLK
OUT. The deserializer output strobe polarity does not
need to match the serializer input strobe polarity. A
deserializer with rising or falling edge output strobe can
be driven by a serializer with a rising edge input strobe.
II = CTVI 0.5fC x 21 (data outputs)
+ CTVIfC x 1 (clock output)
where:
II = incremental supply current.
CT = total internal (CINT) and external (CL) load capacitance.
VI = incremental supply voltage.
fC = output clock switching frequency.
The incremental current is added to (for VCCO > 3.6V)
or subtracted from (for VCCO < 3.6V) the DC Electrical
Characteristics table maximum supply current. The
internal output buffer capacitance is CINT = 6pF. The
worst-case pattern switching frequency of the data outputs is half the switching frequency of the output clock.
In the following example, the incremental supply current is
calculated for VCCO = 5.5V, fC = 34MHz, and CL = 8pF:
VI = 5.5V - 3.6V = 1.9V
CT = CINT + CL = 6pF + 8pF = 14pF
where:
II = CTVI 0.5FC x 21 (data outputs) + CTVIfC x 1 (clock
output).
II = (14pF x 1.9V x 0.5 x 34MHz x 21) + (14pF x 1.9V x
34MHz).
II = 9.5mA + 0.9mA = 10.4mA.
