The MAX9286 Gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL) deserializer receives data from up to four GMSL
serializers over 50Ω coax or 100Ω shielded twisted-pair
(STP) cables and output data on four CSI-2 lanes. Each serial link has an embedded control channel operating from 9.6kbps to 1Mbps in UART-to-UART, UART-to-I2C, and I2C-to-I2C mode. Using the control channel, a μC can program the
serializers, deserializer, and peripheral device registers at any time, independent of video timing. A maskable
broadcast write speeds programming of image sensor registers.
