Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link with Spread
Spectrum and Full-Duplex Control Channel
The MAX9259/MAX9260 chipset presents Maxim’s
gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL) technology. The
MAX9259 serializer pairs with the MAX9260 deserializer
to form a complete digital serial link for joint transmission
of high-speed video, audio, and control data.
The MAX9259/MAX9260 allow a maximum serial payload
data rate of 2.5Gbps for a 15m shielded twisted-pair
(STP) cable. The 24-bit or 32-bit width parallel interface
operates up to a maximum bus clock of 104MHz or
78MHz, respectively. This serial link supports display
panels from QVGA (320 x 240) up to XGA (1280 x 768),
or dual-view WVGA (2 x 854 x 480).
The 24-bit or 32-bit mode handles 21 or 29 bits of data,
along with an I2S input, supporting 4- to 32-bit audio
word lengths and an 8kHz to 192kHz sample rate. The
embedded control channel forms a full-duplex, differential 100kbps to 1Mbps UART link between the serializer
and deserializer. The host electronic control unit (ECU)
or microcontroller (FC) resides either on the MAX9259
(for video display) or on the MAX9260 (for image sensing). In addition, the control channel enables ECU/FC
control of peripherals in the remote side of the serial link
through I2C (base mode) or a user-defined full-duplex
UART format (bypass mode).
The MAX9259 serializer driver preemphasis and channel equalizer on the MAX9260 extend the link length and
enhance the link reliability. Spread spectrum is available
on the MAX9259/MAX9260 to reduce EMI on the serial
and parallel output data signals. The differential link
complies with the ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-4-2 ESDprotection standards.
The core supplies for the MAX9259/MAX9260 are 1.8V
and 3.3V, respectively. Both devices use an I/O supply from 1.8V to 3.3V. These devices are available in
a 64-pin TQFP package (10mm x 10mm) and a 56-pin
TQFN package (8mm x 8mm x 0.75mm) with an exposed
pad. Electrical performance is guaranteed over the
-40NC to +105NC automotive temperature range.

MAX9259/MAX9260
Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link with Spread
Spectrum and Full-Duplex Control Channel
Detailed Description
The MAX9259/MAX9260 chipset presents Maxim’s
GMSL technology. The MAX9259 serializer pairs with the
MAX9260 deserializer to form a complete digital serial
link for joint transmission of high-speed video, audio,
and control data for video-display or image-sensing
applications. The serial-payload data rate can reach up
to 2.5Gbps for a 15m STP cable. The parallel interface
is programmable for 24-bit or 32-bit width modes at the
maximum bus clock of 104MHz or 78MHz, respectively.
The minimum bus clock is 6.25MHz for the 32-bit mode
and 8.33MHz for the 24-bit mode. With such a flexible
data configuration, the GMSL is able to support XGA
(1280 x 768) or dual-view WVGA (2 x 854 x 480) display
panels. For image sensing, it supports three 10-bit camera links simultaneously with a pixel clock up to 78MHz.
The 24-bit mode handles 21-bit data and control signals
plus an I2S audio signal. The 32-bit mode handles 29-bit
data and control signals plus an I2S audio signal. Any
combination and sequence of color video data, video
sync, and control signals make up the 21-bit or 29-bit
parallel data on DIN_ and DOUT_. The I2S port supports
the sampled audio data at a rate from 8kHz to 192kHz
and the audio word length of anywhere between 4 to
32 bits. The embedded control channel forms a UART
link between the serializer and deserializer. The UART
link can be set to half-duplex mode or full-duplex mode
depending on the application. The GMSL supports
UART rates from 100kbps to 1Mbps. Using this control
link, a host ECU or FC communicates with the serializer
and deserializer, as well as the peripherals in the remote
side, such as backlight control, grayscale gamma correction, camera module, and touch screen. All serial
communication (forward and reverse) uses differential
signaling. The peripheral programming uses I2C format
or the default GMSL UART format. A separate bypass
mode enables communication using a full-duplex, userdefined UART format. The control link between the
MAX9259 and MAX9260 allows FC connectivity to either
device or peripherals to support video-display or imagesensing applications.
The AC-coupled serial link uses 8B/10B coding. The
MAX9259 serializer features a programmable driver
preemphasis and the MAX9260 deserializer features
a programmable channel equalizer to extend the link
length and enhance the link reliability. Both devices have
a programmable spread-spectrum feature for reducing
EMI on the serial link output (MAX9259) and parallel data
outputs (MAX9260). The differential serial link input and
output pins comply with the ISO 10605 and IEC 610004-2 ESD-protection standards. The core supplies for the
MAX9259/MAX9260 are 1.8V and 3.3V, respectively.
Both devices use an I/O supply from 1.8V to 3.3V
Register Mapping
The FC configures various operating conditions of the
GMSL through registers in the MAX9259/MAX9260.
The default device addresses stored in the R0 and
R1 registers of the MAX9259/MAX9260 are 0x80 and
0x90, respectively. Write to the R0/R1 registers in both
devices to change the device address of the MAX9259
or MAX9260.

Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link with Spread
Spectrum and Full-Duplex Control Channel
Serial Link Signaling and Data Format
The MAX9259 high-speed data serial output uses
CML signaling with programmable preemphasis and
AC-coupling. The MAX9260 high-speed receiver uses
AC-coupling and programmable channel equalization.
Together, the GMSL operates at up to 3.125Gbps over
STP cable lengths up to 15m.
The MAX9259 serializer scrambles and encodes the
parallel input bits, and sends the 8B/10B coded sig-
nal through the serial link. The MAX9260 deserializer
recovers the embedded serial clock and then samples,
decodes, and descrambles the data onto the parallel output bus. Figures 22 and 23 show the serial-data
packet format prior to scrambling and 8B/10B coding.
For the 24-bit or 32-bit mode, the first 21 or 29 serial
bits come from DIN[20:0] or DIN[28:0], respectively.
The audio channel bit (ACB) contains an encoded audio
signal derived from the three I2S inputs (SD, SCK, and
WS). The forward control channel (FCC) bit carries the
forward control data. The last bit (PCB) is the parity bit of
the previous 23 or 31 bits.
Reverse Control Channel
The MAX9259/MAX9260 use the reverse control channel
to send I2C/UART and interrupt signals in the opposite
direction of the video stream from the deserializer to
the serializer. The reverse control channel and forward
video data coexist on the same twisted pair forming a
bidirectional link. The reverse control channel operates
independently from the forward control channel. The
reverse control channel is available 500Fs after powerup. The MAX9259 temporarily disables the reverse control channel for 350Fs after starting/stopping the forward
serial link.

MAX9259/MAX9260
Parallel Inputs and Outputs
The parallel bus uses two selectable bus widths, 24
bits and 32 bits. BWS selects the bus width according
to Table 3. In 24-bit mode, DIN21–DIN28 are not used
and are internally pulled down. For both modes, SD,
SCK, and WS pins are dedicated for I2S audio data. The
assignments of the first 21 or 29 signals are interchangeable and appear in the same order at both sides of the
serial link. In image-sensing applications, disabling the
I2S audio channel (through the MAX9259 and MAX9260
internal registers) allows the MAX9259 to serialize three
10-bit camera data streams through DIN[0:28] plus SD
inputs. The parallel bus accepts data clock rates from
8.33MHz to 104MHz for the 24-bit mode and 6.25MHz to
78MHz for the 32-bit mode.

Parallel Data-Rate Selection
The MAX9259/MAX9260 use the DRS inputs to set the
parallel data rate. Set DRS high to use a low-speed parallel data rate in the range of 6.25MHz to 12.5MHz (32-bit
mode) or 8.33MHz to 16.66MHz (24-bit mode). Set DRS
low for normal operation with parallel data rates higher
than 12.5MHz (32-bit mode) or 16.66MHz (24-bit mode).
Audio Channel
The I2S audio channel supports audio sampling rates
from 8kHz to 192kHz and audio word lengths from 4 bits
to 32 bits. The audio bit clock (SCK) does not need to be
synchronized with PCLKIN. The MAX9259 automatically
encodes audio data into a single bit stream synchronous
with PCLKIN. The MAX9260 decodes the audio stream
and stores audio words in a FIFO. Audio rate detection
uses an internal oscillator to continuously determine the
audio data rate and output the audio in I2S format. The
audio channel is enabled by default. When the audio
channel is disabled, the SD pins on both sides are
treated as a regular parallel data pin.
PCLK_ frequencies can limit the maximum supported
audio sampling rate. Table 4 lists the maximum audio
sampling rate for various PCLK_ frequencies. Spreadspectrum settings do not affect the I2S data rate or WS
clock frequency.
Additional MCLK Output
for Audio Applications
Some audio DACs such as the MAX9850 do not require
a synchronous main clock (MCLK), while other DACs
require MCLK to be a specific multiple of WS. If an audio
DAC chip needs the MCLK to be a multiple of WS, synchronize the I2S audio data with PCLK_ of the GMSL,
which is typical for most applications. Select the PCLK_
to be the multiple of WS, or use a clock synthesis chip,
such as the MAX9491, to regenerate the required MCLK
from PCLK_ or SCK.
For audio applications that cannot directly use the
PCLKOUT output, the MAX9260 provides a divided
MCLK output on DOUT28 at the expense of one less
parallel line in 32-bit mode (24-bit mode is not affected).
By default, DOUT28 operates as a parallel data output
and MCLK is turned off. Set MCLKDIV (MAX9260 register 0x12, D[6:0]) to a non-zero value to enable the MCLK
output. Set MCLKDIV to 0x00 to disable MCLK and set
DOUT28 as a parallel data output.
The output MCLK frequency is:
fMCLK =
fSRC
MCLKDIV
where fSRC is the MCLK source frequency (Table 5) and
MCLKDIV is the divider ratio from 1 to 127.

MAX9259 or MAX9260 to I2C. The converted I2C bit rate
is the same as the original UART bit rate.
Control-Channel and Register Programming
The MAX9259 embeds control signals going to the
MAX9260 in the high-speed forward link. Do not send
a low value longer than 100Fs in either base or bypass
mode. The MAX9260 uses a proprietary differential line
coding to send signals back towards the MAX9259. The
speed of the control link ranges from 100kbps to 1Mbps
in both directions. The MAX9259/MAX9260 automatically
detect the control-channel bit rate in base mode. Packet
bit rates can vary up to 3.5x from the previous bit rate
(see the Changing the Data Frequency section). Figure
24 shows the UART protocol for writing and reading in
base mode between the FC and the MAX9259/MAX9260.
The FC uses the control link to send and receive control
data over the STP link simultaneously with the high-speed
data. Configuring the CDS pin allows the FC to control the
link from either the MAX9259 or the MAX9260 side to support video-display or image-sensing applications.
The control link between the FC and the MAX9259 or
MAX9260 runs in base mode or bypass mode according to the mode selection (MS) input of the device connected to the FC. Base mode is a half-duplex control link
and the bypass mode is a full-duplex control link. In base
mode, the FC is the host and accesses the registers of
both the MAX9259 and MAX9260 from either side of the
link by using the GMSL UART protocol. The FC can also
program the peripherals on the remote side by sending
the UART packets to the MAX9259 or MAX9260, with
UART packets converted to I2C by the device on the
remote side of the link (MAX9260 for LCD or MAX9259
for image-sensing applications). The FC communicates
with a UART peripheral in base mode (through INTTYPE
register settings) using the half-duplex default GMSL
UART protocol of the MAX9259 and MAX9260. The
device addresses of the MAX9259 and MAX9260 in the
base mode are programmable. The default values are
0x80 and 0x90, respectively.
In base mode, when the peripheral interface uses I2C
(default), the MAX9259/MAX9260 only convert packets
that have device addresses different from those of the
In bypass mode, the FC bypasses the MAX9259/
MAX9260 and communicates with the peripherals directly using its own defined UART protocol. The FC cannot
access the MAX9259/MAX9260’s registers in this mode.
Peripherals accessed through the forward control channel using the UART interface need to handle at least one
PCLK_ period of jitter due to the asynchronous sampling
of the UART signal by PCLK_.
Figure 25 shows the UART data format. Even parity is
used. Figures 26 and 27 detail the formats of the SYNC
byte (0x79) and ACK byte (0xC3). The FC and the connected slave chip generate the SYNC byte and ACK
byte, respectively. Certain events such as device wakeup and interrupt generate signals on the control path and
should be ignored by the FC. All data written to the internal registers do not take affect until after the acknowledge byte is sent. This allows the FC to verify that write
commands are processed without error, even if the result
of the write command directly affects the serial link. The
slave uses the SYNC byte to synchronize with the host
UART data rate automatically. If the INT or MS inputs of
the MAX9260 toggles while there is control-channel communication, the control-channel communication can be
corrupted. In the event of a missed acknowledge, the FC

should assume there was an error in the packet when the
slave device receives it, or that an error occurred during
the response from the slave device. In base mode, the
FC must keep the UART Tx/Rx lines high for 16 bit times
before starting to send a new packet.
As shown in Figure 28, the remote-side device converts
the packets going to or coming from the peripherals from
the UART format to the I2C format and vice versa. The
remote device removes the byte number count and adds
or receives the ACK between the data bytes of I2C. The
I2C’s data rate is the same as the UART data rate.

*Negative preemphasis levels denote deemphasis.
Interrupt Control
The INT of the MAX9259 is the interrupt output and the
INT of the MAX9260 is the interrupt input. The interrupt
output on the MAX9259 follows the transitions at the
interrupt input of the MAX9260. This interrupt function
supports remote-side functions such as touch-screen
peripherals, remote power-up, or remote monitoring.
Interrupts that occur during periods where the reverse
control channel is disabled, such as link startup/shutdown, are automatically resent once the reverse control
channel becomes available again. Bit D4 of register
0x06 in the MAX9260 also stores the interrupt input state.
Writing to the SETINT register bit also sets the INT output
of the MAX9259. In addition, the FC sets the INT output
of the MAX9259 by writing to the SETINT register bit. In
normal operation, the state of the interrupt output changes when the interrupt input on the MAX9260 toggles.
Preemphasis Driver
The serial line driver in the MAX9259 employs currentmode logic (CML) signaling. The driver generates
an adjustable preemphasized waveform according to
the cable length and characteristics. There are 13
preemphasis settings, as shown in Table 6. Negative
preemphasis levels are deemphasis levels in which the
preemphasized swing level is the same as normal swing,
but the no-transition data is deemphasized. Program the
preemphasis levels through register 0x05 D[3:0] of the
MAX9259. This preemphasis function compensates the
high-frequency loss of the cable and enables reliable
transmission over longer link distances. Additionally, a
lower power drive mode can be entered by programming CMLLVL bits (0x05 D[5:4]) to reduce the driver
strength down to 75% (CMLLVL = 10), or 50% (CMLLVL
= 01) from 100% (CMLLVL = 11, default).
Line Equalizer
The MAX9260 includes an adjustable line equalizer to
further compensate cable attenuation at high frequencies. The cable equalizer has 11 selectable levels of
compensation from 2.1dB to 13dB (Table 7). The EQS
input selects the default equalization level at power-up.
The state of EQS is latched upon power-up or when
resuming from power-down mode. To select other
equalization levels, set the corresponding register bits
in the MAX9260 (0x05 D[3:0]). Use equalization in the
MAX9260, together with preemphasis in the MAX9259 to
create the most reliable link for a given cable.

Spread Spectrum
To reduce the EMI generated by the transitions on the
serial link and parallel outputs, both the MAX9259 and
MAX9260 support spread spectrum. Turning on spread
spectrum on the MAX9260 spreads the parallel video
outputs. Turning on spread spectrum on the MAX9259
spreads the serial link, along with the MAX9260 parallel
outputs. Do not enable spread spectrum for both the
MAX9259 and MAX9260. The six selectable spreadspectrum rates at the MAX9259 serial output are Q0.5%,
Q1%, Q1.5%, Q2%, Q3%, and Q4% (Table 8). Some
spread-spectrum rates can only be used at lower PCLK_
frequencies (Table 9). There is no PCLK_ frequency limit
for the 0.5% spread rate. The two selectable spreadspectrum rates at the MAX9260 parallel outputs are Q2%
and Q4% (Table 10).
Set the MAX9259 SSEN input high to select 0.5% spread
at power-up and SSEN input low to select no spread at
power-up. Set the MAX9260 SSEN input high to select
2% spread at power-up and SSEN input low to select no
spread at power-up. The state of SSEN is latched upon
power-up or when resuming from power-down mode.

Manual Programming of the SpreadSpectrum Divider
Turning on spread spectrum on either the MAX9259 or
MAX9260 side does not affect the audio data stream.
Changes in the MAX9259 spread settings only affect
MCLK output if it is derived from PCLK_ (MCLKSRC = 0).
The modulation rates for the MAX9259 or the MAX9260
relate to the PCLK_ frequency as follows:
Both devices include a sawtooth divider to control the
spread-modulation rate. Autodetection or manual programming of the PCLK_ operation range guarantees a
spread-spectrum modulation frequency within 20kHz to
40kHz. Additionally, manual configuration of the sawtooth divider (SDIV, 0x03 D[5:0]) allows the user to set a
specific modulation frequency for a specific PCLK_ rate.
Always keep the modulation frequency between 20kHz
to 40kHz to ensure proper operation.

Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link with Spread

Sleep Mode
The serializer/deserializer include a low-power sleep
mode to reduce power consumption on the device not
attached to the FC (MAX9260 in LCD applications and
MAX9259 in camera applications). Set the corresponding remote IC’s SLEEP bit to 1 to initiate sleep mode. The
MAX9259 sleeps immediately after setting its SLEEP =
1. The MAX9260 sleeps after serial link inactivity or 8ms
(whichever arrives first) after setting its SLEEP = 1. See
the Link Startup Procedure section for details on waking
up the device for different FC and starting conditions.
The FC side device cannot enter into sleep mode, and its
SLEEP bit remains at 0. Use the PWDN input pin to bring
the FC side device into a low-power state.
Configuration Link Mode
The MAX9259/MAX9260 include a low-speed configuration link to allow control-data connection between the two
devices in the absence of a valid parallel clock input. In
either display or camera applications, the configuration
link can be used to program equalizer/preemphasis
or other registers before establishing the video link.
An internal oscillator provides PCLK_ for establishing
the serial configuration link between the MAX9259 and
MAX9260. The parallel output clock and data lines are
disabled in the MAX9260. The LOCK output remains
low even after a successful configuration link lock. Set
CLINKEN = 1 on the MAX9259 to turn on the configuration link. The configuration link remains active as long as
the video link has not been enabled. The video link overrides the configuration link and attempts to lock when
SEREN = 1.
Link Startup Procedure
Table 13 lists four startup cases for video-display
applications. Table 14 lists two startup cases for imagesensing applications. In either display or image-sensing
applications, the control link is always available after
the high-speed data link or the configuration link is
established and the MAX9259/MAX9260 registers or the
peripherals are ready for programming.
Video-Display Applications
For the video-display application, with a remote display
unit, connect the FC to the serializer (MAX9259) and set
CDS = low for both the MAX9259 and MAX9260. Table
13 summarizes the four startup cases based on the settings of AUTOS and MS.
Case 1: Autostart Mode
After power-up or when PWDN transitions from low
to high for both the serializer and deserializer, the
serial link establishes if a stable PCLK_ is present. The
MAX9259 locks to PCLK_ and sends the serial data to
the MAX9260. The MAX9260 then detects activity on the
serial link and locks to the input serial data.
Case 2: Standby Start Mode
After power-up, or when PWDN transitions from low
to high for both the serializer and deserializer, the
MAX9260 starts up in sleep mode, and the MAX9259
stays in standby mode (does not send serial data). Use
the FC and program the MAX9259 to set SEREN = 1 to
establish a video link or CLINKEN = 1 to establish the
configuration link. After locking to a stable PCLK_ (for
SEREN = 1) or the internal oscillator (for CLINKEN = 1),
the MAX9259 sends a wake-up signal to the deserializer. The MAX9260 exits sleep mode after locking to the
serial data and sets SLEEP = 0. If after 8ms the deserializer does not lock to the input serial data, the MAX9260
goes back to sleep, and the internal sleep bit remains
uncleared (SLEEP = 1).
Case 3: Remote Side Autostart Mode
After power-up, or when PWDN transitions from low to
high, the remote device (MAX9260) starts up and tries
to lock to an incoming serial signal with sufficient power.
The host side (MAX9259) is in standby mode and does
not try to establish a link. Use the FC and program the
MAX9259 to set SEREN = 1 (and apply a stable PCLK_)
to establish a video link, or CLINKEN = 1 to establish the
configuration link. In this case, the MAX9260 ignores the
short wake-up signal sent from the MAX9259.
Case 4: Remote Side in Sleep Mode
After power-up or when PWDN transitions from low to
high, the remote device (MAX9260) starts up in sleep
mode. The high-speed link establishes automatically
after MAX9259 powers up with a stable PCLK_ and
sends a wake-up signal to the MAX9260. Use this mode
in applications where the MAX9260 powers up before
the MAX9259.
______________________________________________________________________________________ 35
MAX9259/MAX9260
To program the SDIV setting, first look up the modulation
coefficient according to the part number and desired
bit-width and spread-spectrum settings. Solve the above
equation for SDIV using the desired parallel clock and
modulation frequencies. If the calculated SDIV value is
larger than the maximum allowed SDIV value in Tables
11 or 12, set SDIV to the maximum value.

Image-Sensing Applications
For image-sensing applications, with remote camera
unit(s), connect the FC to the deserializer (MAX9260)
and set CDS = high for both the MAX9259 and MAX9260.
The MAX9260 powers up normally (SLEEP = 0) and continuously tries to lock to a valid serial input. Table 14
summarizes the two startup cases, based on the state of
the MAX9259 AUTOS pin.
Case 1: Autostart Mode
After power-up, or when PWDN transitions from low to
high, the MAX9259 locks to a stable PCLKIN and sends
the high-speed data to the MAX9260. The MAX9260
locks to the serial data and outputs the parallel video
data and PCLKOUT.
Case 2: Sleep Mode
After power-up, or when PWDN transitions from low to
high, the MAX9259 starts up in sleep mode. To wake up
the MAX9259, use the FC to send a regular UART frame
containing at least three rising edges (e.g., 0x66), at a
bit rate no greater than 1Mbps. The low-power wake-up
receiver of the MAX9259 detects the wake-up frame over
the reverse control channel and powers up. Reset the
sleep bit (SLEEP = 0) of the MAX9259 using a regular
control-channel write packet to power up the device fully.
Send the sleep bit write packet at least 500Fs after the
wake-up frame. The MAX9259 goes back to sleep mode
if its sleep bit is not cleared within 8ms (typ) after detecting a wake-up frame.

MAX9260 Error Checking
The MAX9260 checks the serial link for errors and stores
the number of detected decoding errors in the 8-bit
register (DECERR, 0x0D). If a large number of decoding
errors are detected within a short duration, the deserializer loses lock and stops the error counter. The deserializer then attempts to relock to the serial data. DECERR
resets upon successful video link lock, successful
readout of DECERR (through UART), or whenever autoerror reset is enabled. The MAX9260 does not check
for decoding errors during the internal PRBS test and
DECERR is reset to 0x00.
ERR Output
The MAX9260 has an open-drain ERR output. This
output asserts low whenever the number of decoding
errors exceed the error threshold (ERRTHR, 0x0C) during normal operation, or when at least one PRBS error is
detected during PRBS test. ERR reasserts high whenever DECERR (0x0D) resets, due to DECERR readout,
video link lock, or autoerror reset.
Autoerror Reset
The default method to reset errors is to read the respective error registers in the MAX9260 (0x0D, 0x0E). Autoerror reset clears the decoding-error counter (DECERR)
and the ERR output ~1Fs after ERR goes low. Autoerror
reset is disabled on power-up. Enable autoerror reset
through AUTORST (0x06 D6). Autoerror reset does not
run when the device is in PRBS test mode.
Self PRBS Test
The MAX9259/MAX9260 link includes a PRBS pattern generator and bit-error verification function. Set
PRBSEN = 1 (0x04 D5) first in the MAX9259 and then
the MAX9260 to start the PRBS test. Set PRBSEN = 0
(0x04 D5) first in the MAX9260 and then the MAX9259
to exit the PRBS self test. The MAX9260 uses an 8-bit
register (0x0E) to count the number of detected errors.
The control link also controls the start and stop of the
error counting. During PRBS mode, the device does not
count decoding errors and the ERR output reflects PRBS
errors only. Autoerror reset does not run when the device
is in PRBS mode.
Microcontrollers on Both Sides
of the GMSL Link (Dual µC Control)
Usually the FC is either on the serializer (MAX9259)
side for video-display applications, or on the deserializer (MAX9260) side for image-sensing applications. For
the former case, both the CDS pins of the MAX9259/
MAX9260 are set to low, and for the later case, the
CDS pins are set to high. However, if the CDS pin of the
MAX9259 is low and the CDS pin of the MAX9260 is high,
then the MAX9259/MAX9260 can both connect to FCs
simultaneously. In such a case, the FCs on either side
can communicate with the MAX9259/MAX9260 UART
protocol.
Contentions of the control link may happen if the FCs
on both sides are using the link at the same time. The
MAX9259/MAX9260 do not provide the solution for
contention avoidance. The serializer/deserealizer do not
send an acknowledge frame when communication fails
due to contention. Users can always implement a higherlayer protocol to avoid the contention. In addition, if UART
communication across the serial link is not required, the
FCs can disable the forward and reverse control channel
through the FWDCCEN and REVCCEN bits (0x04 D[1:0])
in the MAX9259/MAX9260. UART communication across
the serial link is stopped and contention between FCs no
longer occurs. During the dual FC operation, if one of the
CDS pins on either side changes state, the link resumes
the corresponding state described in the Link Startup
Procedure section.
As an example of dual FC use in an image-sensing link,
the MAX9259 may be in sleep mode and waiting to be
waked up by the MAX9260. After wake-up, the serializerside FC sets the MAX9259 CDS pin low and assumes
master control of the MAX9259 registers.
Jitter-Filtering PLL
In some applications, the parallel bus input clock to the
MAX9259 (PCLKIN) includes noise, which reduces link
reliability. The MAX9259 has a narrow-band jitter-filtering
PLL to attenuate frequency components outside the
PLL’s bandwidth (< 100kHz typ). Enable the jitter-filtering
PLL by setting DISFPLL = 0 (0x05 D6).
Changing the Data Frequency
Both the video data rate (fPCLK_) and the control data
rate (fUART) can be changed on-the-fly to support
applications with multiple clock speeds. Slow speed/
performance modes allow significant power savings
when a system’s full capabilities are not required. Enable
the MAX9259/MAX9260 link after PCLK_ stabilizes.
Stop PCLKIN for 5µs and restart the serial link or toggle
SEREN after each change in the parallel clock frequency
to recalibrate any automatic settings if a clean frequency
change cannot be guaranteed. The reverse control
channel remains unavailable for 350Fs after serial link
start or stop. Limit on-the-fly changes in fUART to factors of less than 3.5 at a time to ensure that the device

MAX9259/MAX9260
Applications Information
MAX9259/MAX9260
Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link with Spread
Spectrum and Full-Duplex Control Channel
recognizes the UART sync pattern. For example, when
lowering the UART frequency from 1Mbps to 100kbps,
first send data at 333kbps and then at 100kbps to have
reduction ratios of 3 and 3.333, respectively.
LOCK Output Loopback
Connect the LOCK output to the INT input of the
MAX9260 to loopback LOCK to the MAX9259. The
interrupt output on the MAX9259 follows the transitions
at the LOCK output of the MAX9260. Reverse-channel
communication does not require an active forward link
to operate and accurately tracks the LOCK status of the
video link. LOCK asserts for video link only and not for
the configuration link.
MAX9260 GPIOs
The MAX9260 has two open-drain GPIOs available.
GPIO1OUT and GPIO0OUT (0x06 D3, D1) set the output
state of the GPIOs. The GPIO input buffers are always
enabled. The input states are stored in GPIO1 and
GPIO0 (0x06 D2, D0). Set GPIO1OUT/GPIO0OUT to 1
when using GPIO1/GPIO0 as an input.
Line-Fault Detection
The line-fault detector in the MAX9259 monitors for line
failures such as short to ground, short to power supply,
and open link for system fault diagnosis. Figure 3 shows
the required external resistor connections. LFLT = low
when a line fault is detected and LFLT = high when the
line returns to normal. The line-fault type is stored in
0x08 D[3:0] of the MAX9259. The fault-detector threshold voltages are referenced to the MAX9259 ground.
Additional passive components set the DC level of the
cable (Figure 3). If the MAX9259 and MAX9260 grounds
are different, the link DC voltage during normal operation
can vary and cross one of the fault-detection thresholds.
For the fault-detection circuit, select the resistor’s power
rating to handle a short to the battery. Table 15 lists the
mapping for line-fault types.
Staggered Parallel Data Outputs
The MAX9260 staggers the parallel data outputs to
reduce EMI and noise. Staggering outputs also reduce
the power-supply transient requirements. By default,
the deserializer staggers outputs according to Table
16. Disable output staggering through the DISSTAG bit
(0x06 D7)
Choosing I2C/UART Pullup Resistors
Both I2C/UART open-drain lines require pullup resistors
to provide a logic-high level. There are tradeoffs between
power dissipation and speed, and a compromise must
be made in choosing pullup resistor values. Every device
connected to the bus introduces some capacitance even
when the device is not in operation. I2C specifies 300ns
rise times to go from low to high (30% to 70%) for fast
mode, which is defined for data rates up to 400kbps (see
the I2C specifications in the Electrical Characteristics
table for details). To meet the fast-mode rise-time
requirement, choose the pullup resistors so that rise time
tR = 0.85 x RPULLUP x CBUS < 300ns. The waveforms
are not recognized if the transition time becomes too

AC-Coupling
AC-coupling isolates the receiver from DC voltages up to
the voltage rating of the capacitor. Four capacitors—two
at the serializer output and two at the deserializer input—
are needed for proper link operation and to provide
protection if either end of the cable is shorted to a high
voltage. AC-coupling blocks low-frequency ground shifts
and low-frequency common-mode noise.
Selection of AC-Coupling Capacitors
Voltage droop and the digital sum variation (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. The RC network for an
AC-coupled link consists of the CML receiver termination
resistor (RTR), the CML driver termination resistor (RTD),
and the series AC-coupling capacitors (C). The RC time
constant for four equal-value series capacitors is (C x
(RTD + RTR))/4. RTD and RTR are required to match the
transmission line impedance (usually 100I). This leaves
the capacitor selection to change the system time constant. Use at least 0.2FF (100V) high-frequency surfacemount ceramic capacitors to pass the lower speed
reverse-channel signal. Use capacitors with a case size
less than 3.2mm x 1.6mm to have lower parasitic effects
to the high-speed signal.
Power-Supply Circuits and Bypassing
The MAX9259 uses an AVDD and DVDD of 1.7V to 1.9V.
The MAX9260 uses an AVDD and DVDD of 3.0V to 3.6V.
All single-ended inputs and outputs on the MAX9259/
MAX9260 derive power from an IOVDD of 1.7V to 3.6V.
The input levels or output levels scale with IOVDD.
Proper voltage-supply bypassing is essential for highfrequency circuit stability.
Cables and Connectors
Interconnect for CML typically has a differential impedance of 100I. 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 magneticfield canceling effects. Balanced cables pick up noise
as common mode rejected by the CML receiver. Table
17 lists the suggested cables and connectors used in
the GMSL link.
Board Layout
Separate the parallel signals and CML high-speed serial
signals to prevent crosstalk. Use a four-layer PCB with
separate layers for power, ground, CML, and digital
signals. Layout PCB traces close to each other and have
a 100I differential characteristic impedance. The trace
dimensions depend on the type of trace used (microstrip
or stripline). Note that two 50I PCB traces do not
have 100I differential impedance when brought close
together—the impedance goes down when the traces
are brought closer.
Route the PCB traces for a CML channel (there are two
conductors per CML channel) in parallel to maintain the
differential characteristic impedance. Avoid vias. If vias
must be used, use only one pair per CML channel and
place the via for each line at the same point along the
length of the PCB traces. This way, any reflections occur
at the same time. Do not make vias into test points for
