MAX9205/MAX9207
10-Bit Bus LVDS Serializers
General Description
The MAX9205/MAX9207 serializers transform 10-bitwide parallel LVCMOS/LVTTL data into a serial highspeed bus low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS)
data stream. The serializers typically pair with deserializers like the MAX9206/MAX9208, which receive the
serial output and transform it back to 10-bit-wide parallel data.
The MAX9205/MAX9207 transmit serial data at speeds
up to 400Mbps and 660Mbps, respectively, over PCB
traces or twisted-pair cables. Since the clock is recovered from the serial data stream, clock-to-data and
data-to-data skew that would be present with a parallel
bus are eliminated.
The serializers require no external components and few
control signals. The input data strobe edge is selected
by TCLK_R/F. PWRDN is used to save power when the
devices are not in use. Upon power-up, a synchronization mode is activated, which is controlled by two SYNC
inputs, SYNC1 and SYNC2.
The MAX9205 can lock to a 16MHz to 40MHz system
clock, while the MAX9207 can lock to a 40MHz to
66MHz system clock. The serializer output is held in
high impedance until the device is fully locked to the
local system clock, or when the device is in powerdown mode.
Both the devices operate from a single +3.3V supply,
are specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C, and
are available in 28-pin SSOP packages.

LVCMOS/LVTTL Logic Inputs. The two SYNC pins are ORed. When at least one of the two pins
are asserted high for at least six cycles of TCLK, the serializer initiates a transmission of 1024
SYNC patterns. If held high after 1024 SYNC patterns have been transmitted, SYNC patterns
continue to be sent until the SYNC pin is asserted low. Toggling a SYNC pin after six TCLK cycles
high and before 1024 SYNC patterns have been transmitted does not affect the output of the 1024
SYNC patterns.

Detailed Description
The MAX9205/MAX9207 are 10-bit serializers designed
to transmit data over balanced media that may be a
standard twisted-pair cable or PCB traces at 160Mbps
to 660Mbps. The interface may be double-terminated
point-to-point or a heavily loaded multipoint bus. The
characteristic impedance of the media and connected
devices can range from 100Ω for a point-to-point interface to 54Ω for a heavily loaded multipoint bus. A double-terminated point-to-point interface uses a
100Ω-termination resistor at each end of the interface,
resulting in a load of 50Ω. A heavily loaded multipoint
bus requires a termination as low as 54Ω at each end
of the bus, resulting in a termination load of 27Ω. The
serializer requires a deserializer such as the
MAX9206/MAX9208 for a complete data transmission
application.
Maxim Integrated
A high-state start bit and a low-state stop bit, added
internally, frame the 10-bit parallel input data and
ensure a transition in the serial data stream. Therefore,
12 serial bits are transmitted for each 10-bit parallel
input. The MAX9205 accepts a 16MHz to 40MHz reference clock, producing a serial data rate of 192Mbps
(12 bits x 16MHz) to 480Mbps (12 bits x 40MHz). The
MAX9207 accepts a 40MHz to 66MHz reference clock,
producing 480Mbps to 792Mbps. However, since only
10 bits are from input data, the actual throughput is 10
times the TCLK frequency.
To transmit data, the serializers sequence through
three modes: initialization mode, synchronization mode,
and data transmission mode.
5
MAX9205/MAX9207
10-Bit Bus LVDS Serializers
Initialization Mode
When V CC is applied, the outputs are held in high
impedance and internal circuitry is disabled by on-chip
power-on-reset circuitry. When the supply voltage
reaches 2.35V, the PLL starts to lock to a local reference clock (16MHz to 40MHz for MAX9205 and 40MHz
to 66MHz for MAX9207). The reference clock, TCLK, is
provided by the system. A serializer locks within 2049
cycles of TCLK. Once locked, a serializer is ready to
send data or SYNC patterns depending on the levels of
SYNC 1 and SYNC 2.
Synchronization Mode
To rapidly synchronize with a deserializer, SYNC patterns can be sent. A SYNC pattern is six consecutive
ones followed by six consecutive zeros repeating every
TCLK period. When one or both SYNC inputs are
asserted high for at least six cycles of TCLK, the serializer will initiate the transmission of 1024 SYNC patterns.
The serializer will continue to send SYNC patterns if
either of the SYNC input pins remains high. Toggling
one SYNC input with the other SYNC input low before
1024 SYNC patterns are output does not interrupt the
output of the 1024 SYNC patterns.
Data Transmission Mode
After initialization, both SYNC input pins must be set
low by users or through a control signal from the deserializer before data transmission begins. Provided that
SYNC inputs are low, input data at IN0–9 are clocked
into the serializer by the TCLK input. Setting TCLK_R/F
high selects the rising edge of TCLK for data strobe
and low selects the falling edge. If either of the SYNC
inputs goes high for six TCLK cycles at any time during
data transmission, the data at IN0–9 are ignored and
SYNC patterns are sent for at least 1024 TCLK cycles.
A start bit high and a stop bit low frame the 10-bit data
and function as the embedded clock edge in the serial
data stream. The serial rate is the TCLK frequency
times the data and appended bits. For example, if
TCLK is 40MHz, the serial rate is 40 x 12 (10 + 2 bits) =
480Mbps. Since only 10 bits are from input data, the
payload rate is 40 x 10 = 400Mbps.
Power-Down
Power-down mode is entered when the PWRDN pin is
driven low. In power-down mode, the PLL of the serializer is stopped and the outputs (OUT+ and OUT-) are
in high impedance, disabling drive current and also
reducing supply current. When PWRDN is driven high,
the serializer must reinitialize and resynchronize before
data can be transferred. On power-up, in order for the
MAX9205/MAX9207 to initialize correctly, PWRDN should
remain below 0.7V until PCLK is stable and all power supplies are within specification.
High-Impedance State
The serializer output pins (OUT+ and OUT-) are held in
high impedance when the supply voltage is first
applied and while the PLL is locking to the local reference clock. Setting EN or PWRDN low puts the device
in high impedance. After initialization, EN functions
asynchronously. For example, the serializer output can
be put into high impedance while SYNC patterns are
being sent without affecting the internal timing of the
SYNC pattern generation. However, if the serializer
goes into high impedance, a deserializer loses PLL
lock and needs to resynchronize before data transfer
can resume.

Applications Information
Power-Supply Bypassing
Bypass AVCC with high-frequency surface-mount
ceramic 0.1µF and 0.001µF capacitors in parallel as
close to the device as possible, with the smaller valued
capacitor closest to AVCC. Bypass DVCC with high-frequency surface-mount ceramic 0.1µF and 0.001µF
capacitors in parallel as close to the device as possible, with the smaller valued capacitor closest to DVCC.
Differential Traces and Termination
Output trace characteristics affect the performance of
the MAX9205/MAX9207. Use controlled-impedance
media and terminate at both ends of the transmission
line in the media's characteristic impedance.
Termination with a single resistor at the end of a pointto-point link typically provides acceptable performance.
However, the MAX9205/MAX9207 output levels are
specified for double-terminated point-to-point and multipoint applications. With a single 100Ω termination, the
output swing is larger.

Avoid the use of unbalanced cables such as ribbon or
simple coaxial cable. Balanced cables such as twisted
pair offer superior signal quality and tend to generate
less EMI due to canceling effects. Balanced cables
tend to pick up noise as common mode, which is
rejected by a differential receiver.
Eliminate reflections and ensure that noise couples as
common mode by running the differential traces close
together. Reduce skew by matching the electrical
length of the traces. Excessive skew can result in a
degradation of magnetic field cancellation.
The differential output signals should be routed close to
each other to cancel their external magnetic field.
Maintain a constant distance between the differential
traces to avoid discontinuities in differential impedance.
Avoid 90° turns and minimize the number of vias to further prevent impedance discontinuities.

reduces reflections compared to a single 100Ω termination. A single 100Ω termination at the deserializer
input is feasible and will make the differential signal
swing larger.
A serializer located at one end of a backplane bus driving multiple deserializers in a multidrop configuration
is shown in Figure 12. A 54Ω resistor at the far end terminates the bus. This topology allows “broadcast” of
data with a minimum of interconnect.
The serializers can operate in a variety of topologies.
Examples of double-terminated point-to-point, multidrop, point-to-point broadcast, and multipoint topologies are shown in Figures 11 through 14. Use 1%
surface-mount termination resistors.
A point-to-point connection terminated at each end in
the characteristic impedance of the cable or PCB
traces is shown in Figure 11. The total load seen by the
serializer is 50Ω. The double termination typically

A point-to-point version of the multidrop bus is shown in
Figure 13. The low-jitter MAX9150 10-port repeater is
used to reproduce and transmit the serializer output
over 10 double-terminated point-to-point links.
Compared to the multidrop bus, more interconnect is
traded for more robust hot-plug capability.
The repeater eliminates nine serializers compared to 10
individual point-to-point serializer-to-deserializer connections. Since repeater jitter subtracts from the serializer-deserializer timing margin, a low-jitter repeater is
essential in most high data rate applications.
Multiple serializers and deserializers bused over a differential serial connection on a backplane are shown in
Figure 14. The second serializer can be a backup to
Board Layout
For bus LVDS applications, a four-layer PCB that provides separate power, ground, and input/output signals
is recommended. Separate LVTTL/LVCMOS and bus
LVDS signals from each other to prevent coupling into
the bus LVDS lines.

the primary serializer. The typical close spacing (1in or
less) of cards on a backplane reduces the characteristic impedance by as much as half the initial, unloaded
value. Termination resistors that match the loaded characteristic impedance are required at each end of the
bus. The total loaded seen by the serializer is 27Ω in
this case.
