All GMSL1 parts work together. GMSL1 SerDes parts are loosely categorized as camera or display parts. This characterization is based on the intended use, or feature set. As an example, display applications require a wide parallel data bus (normally >=18 bits), whereas camera applications require a narrower bus (<=14 bits).
All GMSL1 parts work with all other GMSL1 parts, regardless of intended application or categorization. The restrictions are logical, here are some examples:
a. If a serializer with a maximum GMSL1 link speed of 3.125bps is connected to a deserializer with a maximum GMSL1 link speed of 1.74Gbps, then the pair is limited to 1.74Gbps.
b. If a serializer has high bandwidth mode (HBM) and the deserializer does not, then the pair cannot use HBM.
Of note is that Maxim's next generation (GMSL2) faster parts are also compatible with GMSL1 parts.
