GMSL2 Serializer / Deserializer Compatibility

Which serializer is used in Acuva GMSL2 IP67 cameras?

Our cameras use the MAX9295A GMSL2 serializer for high-speed video and control transmission over coax.

Which deserializers have been validated?

We have verified operation with:

  • MAX9296A (primary reference, used on our own boards)

  • MAX96724 (validated on third-party hardware)

What hardware platforms have been tested?

Our Acuva cameras have been successfully integrated with:

  • Neousys Technology platforms (NRU-160-AWP, NRU-51V, FLYC-300)

  • Connect Tech platforms (Rudi-NX)

  • PCB Arts (Helium)

Are all GMSL2 deserializers supported?

No. GMSL2 interoperability depends on device pairing and configuration.

  • The MAX96716 was not successfully brought up in our tests.

What are typical bring-up dependencies?

Successful link operation depends on:

  • Serializer/deserializer register configuration

  • Link initialization sequence (including reverse channel)

  • I2C tunneling setup

  • Clocking and lane mapping

  • Driver / ISP pipeline compatibility

  • Signal integrity (cable, connectors, layout)

Do you support custom integrations?

Yes. In the course of OEM projects, we provide guidance on deserializer configuration, link bring-up, and platform integration for both our hardware and third-party systems.
