Enabling test modes on the MAX9247

The MAX9247 features an internal test mode, which is useful for debugging the serial link or generating a known-good test pattern for parameter measurement. This application note details the MAX9247's two primary test modes: PRBS and unencoded.

The MAX9247 is a 27bit, 2.5MHz to 42MHz DC-balanced LVDS serializer. Intended for transmitting digital video in automotive applications, it converts three 6bit words into a single LVDS data stream. This data stream is then deserialized by devices such as the MAX9218, MAX9248 or the MAX9250.
