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.
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 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.

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.
DC Balance
Data coding by the MAX9209/MAX9211/MAX9213/
MAX9215 serializers (which are companion devices to
the MAX9210/MAX9212/MAX9214/MAX9216/MAX9220/
MAX9222 deserializers) limits the imbalance of ones
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
zeros, are transmitted. The maximum DSV for the clock
