MAX9271GTJ+

MAX9271GTJ+ Application Field and Working Principle

MAX9271GTJ+ is a family of high-speed integrated serializer/deserializer (Serdes) transceivers that is designed for bidirectional data transmission on automated backplanes. Its integrated transceiver technology and low latency levels allow systems developers to build interoperable, high-speed communications subsystems.

Serdes technology is used when system performance needs to exceed that of conventional electrical-level interfaces, such as 100BASE-T ethernet, or other differential pair technology. Serdes provides the capability to send and receive data over a single pair of wires, thereby allowing designers to minimize the number of physical connections in a system.

Features and Benefits:

• Supports rates from 500 Mbps to 3.125 Gbps per lane
• Supports up to sixteen differential I/O interface lines for Serdes
• Provides Serializer and Deserializer in one device
• Support various protocol such as PCI Express, XAUI, Serial RapidIO, 10G Ethernet

Application Fields:

The MAX9271GTJ+ is suitable for a wide range of applications, from backplanes or high-speed buses for computing and communication, to serial link interconnects in storage and high-speed video transfer.

Working Principle:

The MAX9271GTJ+ provides simultaneous serializer and deserializer (Serdes) functions. It is bidirectional, allowing data to be transferred in either direction. It consists of I/O pins that support differential pairs of signals. A single differential pair of signals is used to transmit and receive data, while a clock line is used to synchronize the data transmission. The integrated transceiver technology in the MAX9271GTJ+ is designed to reduce the latency associated with conventional serial-data transmission.

The serializer function converts parallel data into serial data in order to transmit it over a single differential pair of signals. The deserializer function does the opposite; it takes the serial data and converts it into parallel data so that it can be processed by the receiving device. The MAX9271GTJ+ supporting datasheet rates from 500 Mbps to 3.125 Gbps per lane, as well as various protocol such as PCI Express, XAUI, Serial RapidIO, 10G Ethernet.
