General Description
The MAX9206/MAX9208 deserializers transform a high-speed serial bus low-voltage differential signaling (BLVDS) data stream into 10-bit-wide parallel LVCMOS/LVTTL data and clock. The deserializers pair with serializers such as the MAX9205/MAX9207, which generate a serial BLVDS signal from 10-bit-wide parallel data. The serializer/deserializer combination reduces interconnect, simplifies PCB layout, and reduces board size.
