MAX20088

• 400mΩ (typ) Input-to-Output Channel Resistance
• Automatic Shutdown and Retry on Output UV and OC Conditions Reduces IC Power Dissipation
• Channels Continuously Shut Off During Overvoltage Conditions to Protect the Rest of the System
• Capable of Basic Stand-Alone Operation or Advanced Control and Diagnostics Through I²C Interface
• Proven PCB Layout
• Fully Assembled and Tested

The MAX20087 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the full capabilities of the series of power-protector ICs. The EV kit can operate as a stand-alone protector, or can be connected to a controller through an I²C interface for advanced control and diagnostics. The IC populated by default on the EV kit is the MAX20087, which has four output channels and a full suite of diagnostics active for compatibility with ASIL-grade applications. The EV kit is compatible with all other variants in the series, which can be evaluated by replacing the existing IC (U1) with the desired one.

The EV kit allows for simultaneous and independent operation and evaluation of the four protected output power channels. The EV kit has built-in interfaces to operate the part without needing an external I²C controller, although one can be connected to evaluate digital control and expanded diagnostics.

Applications

• Power-over-Coax for Radar and Camera Modules
• Surround-View Camera ECU

• GMSL2 prototyping system supporting the NVIDIA Jetson™ SoCs
• On-board MAX96724 that allows 4x GMSL2/1 camera inputs that allows for camera module bring-up, debug, and video streaming
• On-board MAX96717 that can be used for camera emulation and head-unit debug
• Enables development of GMSL applications with NVIDIA Jetson™ SoC
• SAMTEC connector that allows connection of any GMSL DPHY EV Kit to the NVIDIA Jetson™
• Additional inputs: USB, Ethernet, PCIe, and microSD card

The AD-GMSL522-SL is a GMSL-enabled NVIDIA Jetson Xavier™ NX-based carrier board and software solution that allows for simple camera to display conversion. This solution creates a scalable, user friendly, GMSL platform for receiving and transmitting data over a gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL). The platform enables demonstrations and ecosystem development by serving as a hardware platform for software development.

The AD-GMSL522-SL supports two forms of camera input -- either straight CSI data coming through a SAMTEC connector, or via camera modules using GMSL2 or GMSL1 technology to connect to the on-board MAX96724 via COAX connectors. GMSL evaluation kits or any camera utilizing the standard 15- or 22-pin Raspberry Pi connector can be connected here using the AD-GMSLCAMRPI-SL adapter board.

The AD-GMSL522-SL package includes software tools to enable customers in their development of GMSL applications. Among these tools are modified L4T kernels that support certain camera modules and documentation that allows any user to update these kernels for their specific hardware needs.

The design incorporates the MAX96724GTN/VY+ Quad tunneling GMSL2/1 to CSI-2 deserializer and MAX96717GTJ/VY+ CSI-2 to GMSL2 serializer and provides a reliable platform to evaluate high-bandwidth GMSL.

There are two system options available for purchase: the AD-GMSL522-SL which is the base carrier board and does not include the NVIDIA SoM, and the AD-GMSL522-SOM-SL which is the carrier board including the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier™ NX SoM.
