MAX96708
14-Bit GMSL Deserializer
with Coax or STP Cable Input
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX96708 is a compact deserializer especially suited
for automotive camera applications. Features include
adaptive equalization and an output crosspoint switch. An
embedded control channel operates at 9.6kbps to 1Mbps
● Ideal for Safety Camera Applications
• Works with Low-Cost 50Ω Coax (100Ω STP) Cable
• Error Detection of Video/Control Data
• High-Immunity Mode for Robust Control-Channel
EMC Tolerance

in UART, I C, and mixed UART/I C modes, allowing
programming of serializer, deserializer (SerDes), and
camera registers, independent of video timing.
• Best-in-Class Supply Current: 185mA (max)
• Adaptive Equalization for 15m Cable at Full Speed
• 32-Pin (5mm x 5mm) TQFN Package
• Horizontal- and Vertical-Sync Encoding
and Tracking
The deserializer can track data from a spread-
spectrum serial input. The serial input meets ISO 10605
and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD standards. The core supply
range is 1.7V to 1.9V and the I/O supply range is 1.7V
to 3.6V. The device is available in a 32-pin (5mm x 5mm)
TQFN package with 0.5mm lead pitch and operates over
-40ºC to +115ºC temperature range.
