The MAX9225/MAX9226 serializer/deserializer chipset
reduces wiring by serializing 10 bits onto a single differential pair. Ten bits are serialized in each cycle of the
parallel input clock resulting in a 100Mbps to 200Mbps
net serial-data rate. The MAX9225 serializes the 8-bit
YUV, HSYNC and VSYNC outputs from a camera mounted in the flip part of the phone, reducing wiring through
the hinge to the baseband processor in the base of the
phone. The 2-wire serial interface uses low-current differential signaling (LCDS) for low EMI, high common-mode
noise immunity, and ground-shift tolerance. The
MAX9225/MAX9226 automatically identify the word
boundary in the serial data in case of signal interruption.
The MAX9226 power-down is controlled by the
MAX9225. The MAX9225/MAX9226 consume 3.5µA or
less in power-down mode.
The MAX9225 serializer operates from a single +2.375V
to +3.465V supply and accepts +1.71V to +3.465V
inputs. The MAX9226 deserializer operates from a
+2.375V to +3.465V core supply and has a separate
output buffer supply (V
DDO
), allowing +1.71V to
+3.465V output high levels.
The MAX9225/MAX9226 are specified over the -40°C to
+85°C extended temperature range and are available
in 16-pin TQFN (3mm x 3mm x 0.8mm) packages with
an exposed paddle.

The MAX9225 serializer operates at a 10MHz-to-20MHz
parallel clock frequency, serializing 10 bits of parallel
input data DIN[9:0] in each cycle of the parallel clock.
DIN[9:0] are latched on the rising edge of PCLKIN. The
data and internally generated serial clock are combined and transmitted through SDO+/SDO- using multilevel LCDS. The MAX9226 deserializer receives the
LCDS signal on SDI+/SDI-. The deserialized data and
recovered parallel clock are available at DOUT[9:0]
and PCLKOUT. Output data is valid on the rising edge
of PCLKOUT.
Bit 0 (DIN[0]) is transmitted first. Boundary bits OH1
and OH2 are used by the MAX9226 deserializer to
identify the word boundary. OH1 is the inverse polarity
of data bit 9 (DIN[9]), and OH2 is the inverse polarity of
OH1. Therefore, at least two level transitions are guaranteed in one word. The clock is recovered from the
serial input.
LCDS
The MAX9225/MAX9226 use a proprietary multilevel
LCDS interface. Figure 5 provides a representation of
the data and clock in the multilevel LCDS interface. This
interface offers advantages over other chipsets, such
as requiring only one differential pair as the transmission medium, the inherently aligned data and clock,
and much smaller current levels than the 4mA typically
found in traditional LVDS interfaces.
MAX9225/MAX9226 Handshaking
The handshaking function of the MAX9225/MAX9226
provides bidirectional communication between the two
devices in case a word boundary error is detected. Prior
to data transmission, the MAX9225 serializer adds
boundary bits (OH) to the end of the latched word.
These boundary bits are the inverse of the last bit of the
latched word. During data transmission, the MAX9226
deserializer continuously monitors the state of the
boundary bits of each word. If a word boundary error is
detected, the serial link is pulled up to V
DD
and the
MAX9226 powers down. The MAX9225 detects the
pullup of the serial link and powers down for 1.0µs. After
1.0µs, the MAX9225 powers up, causing the power-up
of the MAX9226. Then the word boundary is reestablished, and data transfer resumes. The handshaking
function is disabled when PWRDN is pulled low.

Applications Information
PCLKIN Latch Edge
The parallel data input of the MAX9225 serializer is
latched on the rising edge of PCLKIN. Figure 3 shows
the serializer input timing.
PCLKOUT Strobe
The serial-data output of the MAX9226 deserializer is
valid on the rising edge of PCLKOUT. Figure 4 shows
the deserializer output timing.
Power-Down and Power-Up
Driving PWRDN low puts the MAX9225 in power-down
mode and sends a pulse to power down the MAX9226.
In power-down mode, the DLL is stopped, SDO+/SDOare high impedance to ground and differential, and the
LCDS link is weakly biased around (V
DD
- 0.8V). With
PWRDN and all inputs low, the combined MAX9225/
MAX9226 supply current is reduced to 3.5µA or less.
Driving PWRDN high starts DLL lock to PCLKIN and initiates a MAX9226 power-up sequence. The MAX9225
LCDS output is not driven until the DLL locks. 11,264
clock cycles are required for the power-up and link synchronization before valid DIN can be latched. See
Figure 6 for an overall power-up and power-down timing diagram. For normal operation, PCLKIN must be
running and settled before driving PWRDN high.
If V
DD
= 0, the LCDS outputs are high impedance to
ground and differential.
Ground-Shift Tolerance
The MAX9225/MAX9226 are designed to function normally in the event of a slight shift in ground potential.
However, the MAX9226 deserializer ground must be
within ±0.2V relative to the MAX9225 serializer ground
to maintain proper operation.
MAX9226 Output Buffer Supply (V
DDO
)
The MAX9226 parallel outputs are powered from V
DDO
,
which accepts a +1.71V to +3.465V supply, allowing
direct interface to inputs with 1.8V to 3.3V logic levels.

Flex Cable, PCB Interconnect,
and Connectors
Interconnect for LCDS typically has a differential impedance of 100Ω. Use interconnect and connectors that have
matched differential impedance to minimize impedance
discontinuities.
Board Layout and Supply Bypassing
Separate the LVTTL/LVCMOS and LCDS signals to prevent crosstalk. A PCB or flex with separate layers for
power, ground, and signals is recommended.
Bypass each VDDand V

surface-mount ceramic 0.1µF and 0.01µF capacitors in

ESD Protection
The MAX9225/MAX9226 are rated for ±15kV ESD
protection using the Human Body Model. The Human
Body Model discharge components are CS= 100pF and
RD= 1.5kΩ (Figure 7).
