MAX9217
The MAX9217 digital video parallel-to-serial converter
serializes 27 bits of parallel data into a serial data stream.
Eighteen bits of video data and 9 bits of control data are
encoded and multiplexed onto the serial interface, reduc-
ing the serial data rate. The data enable input determines
when the video or control data is serialized.
The MAX9217 pairs with the MAX9218 deserializer to
form a complete digital video serial link. Interconnect
can be controlled-impedance PCB traces or twisted-pair
cable. Proprietary data encoding reduces EMI and pro-
vides DC balance. DC balance allows AC-coupling,
providing isolation between the transmitting and receiv-
ing ends of the interface. The LVDS output is internally
terminated with 100Ω.
ESD tolerance is specified for ISO 10605 with ±10kV
contact discharge and ±30kV air discharge.
The MAX9217 operates from a +3.3V core supply and
features a separate input supply for interfacing to 1.8V
to 3.3V logic levels. This device is available in 48-lead
Thin QFN and LQFP packages and is specified from
-40°C to +85°C.

FUNCTION
Input Buffer Supply and Digital Supply Ground
Input Buffer Supply Voltage. Bypass to GND with 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.
LVTTL/LVCMOS Red, Green, and Blue Digital Video Data Inputs. Eighteen data bits are loaded
into the input latch on the rising edge of PCLK_IN when DE_IN is high. Internally pulled down to
GND.
LVTTL/LVCMOS Control Data Inputs. Control data are latched on the rising edge of PCLK_IN
when DE_IN is low. Internally pulled down to GND.
Digital Supply Voltage. Bypass to GND with 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.
LVTTL/LVCMOS Data Enable Input. Logic-high selects RGB_IN[17:0] to be latched. Logic-low
selects CNTL_IN[8:0] to be latched. DE_IN must be switching for proper operation. Internally
pulled down to GND.
LVTTL/LVCMOS Parallel Clock Input. Latches data and control inputs and provides the PLL
reference clock. Internally pulled down to GND.
Internally connected to GND. Connect to GND or leave unconnected.
PLL Supply Ground
PLL Supply Voltage. Bypass to PLL GND with 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.
LVTTL/LVCMOS Power-Down Input. Internally pulled down to GND.
Common-Mode Filter. Optionally connect a capacitor between CMF and ground to filter
common-mode switching noise.
LVDS Supply Ground
Inverting LVDS Serial Data Output
Noninverting LVDS Serial Data Output
LVDS Supply Voltage. Bypass to LVDS GND with 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.
LVTTL/LVCMOS Frequency Range Select Input. Set to the frequency range that includes the
PCLK_IN frequency as shown in Table 3. Internally pulled down to GND.
LVTTL/LVCMOS Frequency Range Select Input. Set to the frequency range that includes the
PCLK_IN frequency as shown in Table 3. Internally pulled down to GND.
Exposed Pad (Thin QFN Package Only). Connect Thin QFN exposed pad to PCB GND.
