MAX96708GTJ/V+T

The MAX96708GTJ/V+T is Maxim’s automotive-grade GMSL/FPD-Link III serializer/deserializer device used to build high-speed video networks in vehicles. It enables video, audio, and control data to be transmitted over a single coaxial or differential pair between cameras and an ECU/MCU.
Key points:
- Part of the GMSL family for multi-camera ADAS and surround-view systems.
- Integrates high-speed serial links, I2C/SPI control, and automotive-grade features (reliability, EMI, etc.).
- Supports long cable runs with robust signaling suitable for automotive environments.
- GTJ/V+T suffix indicates the specific package and temperature grade used by the manufacturer (and related environmental specs).
Common uses:
- Connecting rear/side/front cameras, surround-view, and other sensors to ECUs in cars.
Note:
- For exact data rates, lane counts, cable length, pinout, and electrical characteristics, consult the official MAX96708 datasheet and the package sheet. If you want, I can extract the spec highlights for you.

MAX96708GTJ/V+T is Maxim’s GMSL2 (FPD-Link III) 8‑channel automotive camera serializer. There isn’t an exact one‑to‑one cross reference. Closest replacements from other vendors are TI’s DS90UB9x/DS90UB93x FPD-Link III GMSL2 serializers/deserializers, STMicroelectronics GMSL2 devices, and ON Semiconductor FPD-Link III parts. For a precise substitute, compare data rate, lane count, voltage and packaging; share your target supplier and package and I’ll map exact part numbers.

Key features of MAX96708GTJ/V+T (8-channel GMSL serializer for automotive cameras):
