MAX3797
10.3Gbps, Low-Power Transimpedance Amplifier for 10GBASE-SR Applications
Only 105mW Power Consumption While Supporting Fast RSSI
Description
The MAX3797 is a low-power transimpedance amplifier designed for optical transmission systems at data rates up to 10.3125Gbps and for use with PIN diodes.
The MAX3797 incorporates an automatic gain control (AGC) architecture providing nominal small-signal transimpedance of 5.5kΩ. The input-referred noise is typically 1.25µARMS, which reflects a theoretical sensitivity of -14.8dBm OMA at a bit error rate (BER) of 10-12 for a PIN (þ = 0.55, re = 3) photo detector.
The small die size of 1mm x 0.76mm enables an optical subassembly using a TO-46 or TO-56 package. The MAX3797 supports low-cost ROSAs by offering stable operation with no capacitors required in the ROSA. The MAX3797's sensitivity is stable over temperature and supply.

MAX9276, MAX9280
3.12Gbps GMSL Deserializers for Coax or STP Input and Parallel Output
Deserializers Enable Use of Coax Cables, Reducing Weight and Cost of Cabling in Automotive Infotainment
Description
The MAX9276/MAX9280 gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL) deserializers receive data from a GMSL serializer over 50Ω coax or 100Ω shielded twisted pair (STP) cable and output deserialized data on the LVCMOS outputs.
The MAX9280 has HDCP content protection but otherwise is the same as the MAX9276. The deserializers pair with any GMSL serializer capable of coax output including the MAX9293 HDMI/MHL serializer. When programmed for STP input they are backward compatible with any GMSL serializer.
The audio channel supports L-PCM I²S stereo and up to eight channels of L-PCM in TDM mode. Sample rates of 32kHz to 192kHz are supported with sample depth up to 32 bits.
The embedded control channel operates at 9.6kbps to 1Mbps in UART-UART and UART-I²C modes, and up to 1Mbps in I²C-I²C mode. Using the control channel, a µC can program serializer, deserializer, and peripheral device registers at any time, independent of video timing, and manage HDCP operation (MAX9280). Two GPIO ports are included, allowing display power-up and switching of the backlight among other uses. A continuously-sampled GPI input supports touch-screen controller interrupt requests in display applications.
For use with longer cables, the deserializers have a programmable cable equalizer. Programmable spread spectrum is available on the parallel output. The serial input meets ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD standards. The core supply is 3.0V to 3.6V and the I/O supply is 1.7V to 3.6V.
