Description

The MAX9207EAIT is a serializer that transforms 10-bit-wide parallel LVCMOS/LVTTL data into a serial high-speed bus low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) data stream. It is designed to pair with deserializers like the MAX9206/MAX9208 to transform the serial output back to 10-bit-wide parallel data. With transmission speeds of up to 660Mbps, the MAX9207EAIT is suitable for a variety of applications, including cellular phone base stations, add drop muxes, digital cross-connects, DSLAMs, network switches, and routers. It operates on a single +3.3V supply and is available in a 28-pin SSOP package.
