Product Details

The MAX96714 CSI evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX96714, MAX96714F, MAX96714R high-bandwidth gigabit multimedia serial link (GMSL) deserializer with CSI and full-duplex control channel with the use of a standard FAKRA coaxial cable. The EV kit also includes Windows® 7 and Windows® 10 softwares that provide a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for exercising features of the device. The EV kit comes with a MAX96714/14F/14R IC installed.

For complete GMSL evaluation using a standard FAKRA coaxial cable, order the MAX96714 CSI EV kit and a companion serializer board (MAX9295A Coax EV kit referenced in this document).

System Requirements

  • MAX9295A or MAX96717 CSI EV Kit
  • MAX96714 CSI EV Kit
  • 2m FAKRA cable assembly (included in the MAX96714 Coax EV Kit)
