Fully Programmable Serializer/Deserializer
with UART/I
performed with or without spread spectrum. If the PRBS
test is programmed to run continuously, the MAX9257
must be powered down to stop the test. When pro-
grammed for a finite number of repetitions, the control
channel is enabled after the PRBS test finishes and
serialization enable (SEREN) is reset to 0. To start nor-
mal operation, the ECU must disable PRBSEN and
enable SEREN.
Parity protection of video data is programmable for par-
allel-word widths of 16 bits or less. When programmed,
two parity bits are appended to each parallel word
latched into the MAX9257. In the MAX9258, a 16-bit
parity error counter logs parity errors. The ERROR out-
put on the MAX9258 goes low if parity errors exceed a
programmable threshold.
AC-coupling increases the input voltage of the LVDS
receiver to the voltage rating of the capacitor. Two
capacitors are sufficient for isolation, but four capaci-
tors—two at the serializer output and two at the deseri-
alizer input—provide protection if either end of the
cable is shorted to a high voltage. AC-coupling blocks
low-frequency ground shifts and common-mode noise.
See Figure 31 for calculating the capacitor values for
AC-coupling depending on the parallel clock frequency.
The plot shows minimum capacitor values for two- and
four-capacitor-per-link systems. To block the highest
common-mode frequency shift, choose the minimum

capacitors are sufficient.
Voltage droop and the digital sum variaton (DSV) of trans-
mitted symbols cause signal transitions to start from dif-
ferent 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 LVDS receiver termination resistor (R
