Datasheet

Serializer MAX9257A Tab
On the Serializer MAX9257A tab sheet (Figure 5), the
ECU can write or read all registers on the MAX9257A
by pressing the Write or Read buttons on the right of
each register. Refer to the MAX9257A/MAX9258A IC
data sheet for the definition of each register.
Four registers on each of the MAX9257A and the
MAX9258A should have the same values. They should
be configured simultaneously for the SerDes pair to
work properly. Check the Write Both 9258A&9257A
checkbox to enable the write operation of the two
devices on the same control channel.
On the bottom-left side of the software window, press
the Reset MAX9257A GUI button to set all the GUI val-
ues to the MAX9257A power-on-reset values. No opera-
tions are executed on the actual MAX9257A device.
The other four buttons: Read MAX9258A & 9257A,
Write MAX9258A & 9257A, Read MAX9257A, and
Write MAX9257A let the user read or write to the
MAX9258A and the MAX9257A simultaneously or indi-
vidually.
Camera Control Tab
On the Camera Control tab sheet (Figure 6), the ECU
can communicate to the emulated camera during a
control-channel session.
