General Description
The MAX9218 digital video serial-to-parallel converter deserializes a total of 27 bits during data and control phases. In the data phase, the LVDS serial input is converted to 18 bits of parallel video data and in the control phase, the input is converted to 9 bits of parallel control data. The separate video and control phases take advantage of video timing to reduce the serial data rate. The MAX9218 pairs with the MAX9217 serializer to form a complete digital video transmission system.
