MAX96772GTM/V+

MAX96772GTM/V+ is Maxim’s automotive-grade four-channel GMSL/FPD-Link III serializer. It multiplexes four camera video streams into a single high-speed serial link over coax for transmission to a deserializer in the vehicle ECU. Designed for automotive environments, it supports long cable runs, EMI/ESD robustness, and an I2C control interface for camera configuration. It’s used in multi‑camera car systems (surround view, ADAS, driver monitoring). The GTM/V+ suffix denotes a specific packaging/temperature variant; exact electrical specs (data rate per lane, power rails, I2C addresses, etc.) are in the datasheet. In short: a four‑channel camera serializer that simplifies wiring and enables scalable automotive camera networks.

Here are the key features of MAX96772GTM/V+ (high-level, automotive GMSL serializer):
- Automotive-grade GMSL (FPD-Link III) serializer for multi-camera automotive systems.
- Supports multiple camera inputs (1–4 sensors) over a single GMSL link with bidirectional control.
- High-speed serial link with robust cable compensation, equalization, and lane-rate negotiation.
- I2C/SMBus control interface for register config, status, and camera control.
- Built-in link management, timing control, and fault-detection circuitry.
- Protection and safety features: overvoltage/short-circuit/overcurrent protection, ESD protections, thermal shutdown.
- Power: 3.3V I/O supply, separate core supply (e.g., 1.8V); low-power standby modes.
- Automotive qualification: wide operating temperature (-40°C to +125°C) and AEC-Q100 qualified.
- Package: GTM/V+ form factor.
- RoHS compliant and suitable for long cable runs typical of vehicle camera networks.
Note: For exact lane counts, data rates per lane, and register maps, please consult the official datasheet.

I don’t have live web access to confirm the exact package. "GTM" typically denotes Maxim’s thin QFN/TQFN family; the precise pin count and dimensions are given in the MAX96772GTM/V+ datasheet. Would you like me to fetch the datasheet and give the exact package details?
