Description
The GS1524 is a second-generation high-speed bipolar
integrated circuit designed to equalize and restore signals
received over 75Ω co-axial cable at data rates from 143Mb/s
up to 1.485Gb/s. The GS1524 is designed to support SMPTE
292M, SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 259M, and is optimized for
performance at 270Mb/s and 1.485Gb/s.
The GS1524 features DC restoration to compensate for the
DC content of SMPTE pathological test patterns. The
GS1524 also incorporates a Cable Length Indicator (CLI)
that provides an indication of the amount of cable being
equalized for data rates up to 360Mb/s.
A voltage programmable mute threshold (MCLADJ) is
included to allow muting of the GS1524 output when an
approximate selected cable length is reached for SMPTE
259M signals. This feature allows the GS1524 to distinguish
between low amplitude SD-SDI signals and noise at the
input of the device. The CD/MUTE pin provides an
indication of the GS1524 mute status in addition to
functioning as a mute control input. The SD outputs of the
GS1524 may be forced to a mute state by applying a voltage
to the CD/MUTE pin.
Power consumption is typically 265mW using a 3.3V
power supply.
This component and all homogeneous subcomponents are
RoHS compliant.
