MAX96706: FAQ

FAQs
  • FAQ

    Can I perform hot swap on systems using GMSL parts with Phantom Power (aka Power over Coax) where one coax cable is used for data and power

    Yes, you can implement a hot swap system with these parts. We have customers with such implementations in production. There are 3 considerations: 1. Voltages spikes. PoC systems use inductors in…
  • FAQ

    Can the line-fault monitors be disabled on the MAX96706?

    Yes, the MAX96706 line-fault monitors can be disabled in register 0x08, bits 7 and 6. If you wish to keep the line-fault monitors disabled permanently, the LMN0 and LMN1 pins can be left unconnected. The…
  • FAQ

    How can I verify the compatibility of a Maxim serializer or deserializer?

    All Maxim GMSL-1 serializers and deserializers (SerDes) are compatible with each other. Our SerDes parts are typically mentioned together (e.g. MAX96705 and MAX96706), but these pairings are only a suggestion…
  • FAQ

    Is there any problem associated with setting the equalizer gain too high in the MAX96706?

    The transmission path is a low-pass filter, it is necessary to amplify the high bandwidth by EQ. When this gain is abnormally high, the slew rate of data becomes faster and overshoot and undershoot occur…
