LMH0384
3 Gbps HD/SD SDI Extended Reach and Configurable
Adaptive Cable Equalizer
General Description
Features
The LMH0384 3 Gbps HD/SD SDI Extended Reach and Configurable Adaptive Cable Equalizer is designed to equalize
data transmitted over cable (or any media with similar dispersive loss characteristics). The equalizer operates over a wide
range of data rates from 125 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps and supports
SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 344M, and SMPTE
259M standards.
The LMH0384 includes active sensing features and design
enhancements including longer cable equalization, lower output jitter, configurable pin mode and SPI modes, a powersaving sleep mode, and programmable output common mode
voltage and swing. The LMH0384 implements DC restoration
to correctly handle pathological data conditions.
The LMH0384 includes an auto sleep mode to power down
the device when no input signal is detected. Other features
include separate carrier detect and output mute pins which
may be tied together to mute the output when no input signal
is present, and a programmable mute reference which may
be used to mute the output at a selectable level of signal
degradation.
The LMH0384 supports two modes of operation. In pin mode
(non-SPI mode) the LMH0384 is footprint compatible with the
LMH0344 and legacy SDI equalizers. In the optional SPI
mode, the LMH0384 provides register access to all of its features along with a cable length indicator, programmable output common mode voltage and swing, and launch amplitude
optimization.
The device is available in a 16-pin LLP package.

Note 6: The differential output voltage and offset voltage are adjustable via the SPI.
Note 7: The equalizer automatically shifts equalization stages at cable lengths less than 140m (Belden 1694A) to reduce power consumption. This power savings
is also achieved by setting Extended 3G Reach Mode = 1 via the SPI.
Note 8: Based on design and characterization data over the full range of recommended operating conditions of the device. Jitter is measured in accordance with
SMPTE RP 184, SMPTE RP 192, and the applicable serial data transmission standard: SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 292M, or SMPTE 259M.
Note 9: Input return loss is dependent on board design. The LMH0384 exceeds this specification on the SD384 evaluation board with a return loss network
consisting of a 5.6 nH inductor in parallel with the 75Ω series resistor on the input.

Device Operation
BLOCK DESCRIPTION
The Equalizer Filter block is a multi-stage adaptive filter. If
Bypass is high, the equalizer filter is disabled.
The DC Restoration / Level Control block receives the differential signals from the equalizer filter block. This block
incorporates a self-biasing DC restoration circuit to fully DC
restore the signals. If Bypass is high, this function is disabled.
The signals before and after the DC Restoration / Level Control block are used to generate the Automatic Equalization
Control (AEC) signal. This control signal sets the gain and
bandwidth of the equalizer filter. The loop response in the
AEC block is controlled by an external 1µF capacitor placed
across the AEC+ and AEC- pins.
The Carrier Detect block generates the carrier detect signal
based on the SDI input and an adjustment from the Mute
Reference block.
The SPI Control block uses the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS
signals in SPI mode to control the SPI registers. SPI_EN selects between SPI mode and pin mode. In pin mode, SPI_EN
is driven logic low.
The Output Driver produces SDO and SDO.
CARRIER DETECT (CD) AND MUTE
Carrier detect CD indicates if a valid signal is present at the
LMH0384 input. If MUTEREF is used, the carrier detect threshold will be altered accordingly. CD provides a high voltage
when no signal is present at the LMH0384 input. CD is low
when a valid input signal is detected.
MUTE can be used to manually mute or enable SDO and
SDO. Applying a high input to MUTE will mute the LMH0384
outputs by forcing the output to a logic zero. Applying a low
input will force the outputs to be active.
CD and MUTE may be tied together to automatically mute the
output when no input signal is present.
AUTO SLEEP
The auto sleep mode allows the LMH0384 to power down
when no input signal is detected. If the AUTO SLEEP pin is
set high, the LMH0384 goes into a deep power save mode
when no signal is detected. The device powers on again once
an input signal is detected. The auto sleep functionality can
be turned off by setting AUTO SLEEP low or tying this pin to
ground. An additional auto sleep setting available in SPI mode
can be used to force the equalizer to power down regardless
of whether there is an input signal or not. Auto sleep has
precedence over mute and bypass modes.
In auto sleep mode, the time to power down the equalizer
when the input signal is removed is less than 200 µs and
MUTE REFERENCE (MUTEREF)
The mute reference sets the threshold for CD and (with CD
tied to MUTE) determines the amount of cable to equalize
before automatically muting the outputs. This is set by applying a voltage inversely proportional to the length of cable to
equalize. The applied voltage must be greater than the
MUTEREF floating voltage (typically 1.3V) in order to change

LMH0384
should not have any impact on the system timing requirements. The device will wake up automatically once an input
signal is detected, and the delay between signal detection and
full functionality of the equalizer is negligible (about 1 µs). The
overall system will be limited only by the settling time constant
of the equalizer adaptation loop.
100 mV increments from 400 mVP-P to 800 mVP-P (see OUTPUT DRIVER ADJUSTMENTS in the SPI Register Access
section).
The LMH0384 output should be DC coupled to the input of
the receiving device as long as the common mode ranges of
both devices are compatible. 100Ω differential transmission
lines should be used to connect between the LMH0384 outputs and the input of the receiving device where possible.
Figure 4 shows an example of a DC-coupled interface between the LMH0384 and LMH0346 SDI reclocker. All that is
required is the 100Ω differential termination as shown. The
resistor should be placed as close as possible to the
LMH0346 input. If desired, this network may be terminated
with two 50Ω resistors and a center tap capacitor to ground
in place of the signal 100Ω resistor.
Figure 5 shows an example of a DC-coupled interface between the LMH0384 and LMH0356 SDI reclocker. The
LMH0356 inputs have 50Ω internal terminations (100Ω differential) to terminate the transmission line, so no additional
components are required.
The LMH0384 allows flexibility when interfacing to low voltage
crosspoint switches (i.e. 1.8V) and other devices with limited
input ranges. The LMH0384 outputs can be DC coupled to
these devices in most cases, avoiding the need to AC couple.
The LMH0384 may be AC coupled to the receiving device
when necessary. For example, the LMH0384 outputs are not
strictly compatible with 3.3V CML and thus should not be
connected via 50Ω resistors to 3.3V. If the input common
mode range of the receiving device is not compatible with the
output common mode range of the LMH0384, then AC coupling is required. Following the AC coupling capacitors, the
signal may have to be biased at the input of the receiving device.
INPUT INTERFACING
The LMH0384 accepts either differential or single-ended input. The input must be AC coupled. The Typical Application
(Pin Mode) diagram on the front page shows the typical configuration for a single-ended input. The unused input must be
properly terminated as shown.
The LMH0384 can be optimized for different launch amplitudes via the SPI (see LAUNCH AMPLITUDE OPTIMIZATION in the SPI Register Access section).
The LMH0384 correctly handles equalizer pathological signals for standard definition and high definition serial digital
video, as described in SMPTE RP 178 and RP 198, respectively.
OUTPUT INTERFACING
SDO and SDO together are internally terminated 100Ω LVDS
outputs. These outputs can be DC coupled to most common
differential receivers.
The default output common mode voltage (VOS) is 1.25V. The
output common mode voltage may be adjusted via the SPI in
200 mV increments, from 1.05V to 1.85V (see OUTPUT
DRIVER ADJUSTMENTS in the SPI Register Access section). This adjustable output common mode voltage offers
flexibility for interfacing to many types of receivers.
The default differential output swing (VSSP-P) is 700 mVP-P.
The differential output swing may be adjusted via the SPI in

Setting SPI_EN high enables the optional SPI register access
mode. In SPI mode, the LMH0384 provides register access
to all of its features along with a cable length indicator, programmable output common mode voltage and swing, and
launch amplitude optimization. There are five supported 8-bit
registers in the device (see Table 1). With SPI_EN set low,
the device operates in pin mode and is footprint compatible
with the LMH0344, LMH0044, and LMH0074.
SPI WRITE
The SPI write is shown in Figure 2. The MOSI payload consists of a “0” (write command), seven address bits, and eight
data bits. The SS signal is driven low, and the 16 bits are sent
to the LMH0384's MOSI input. Data is latched on the rising
edge of SCK. The MISO output is normally tri-stated during
this operation. After the SPI write, SS must return high.
SPI READ
The SPI read is shown in Figure 3. The MOSI payload consists of a “1” (read command) and seven address bits. The
SS signal is driven low, and the eight bits are sent to the
LMH0384's MOSI input. The addressed location is accessed
immediately after the rising edge of the 8th clock and the eight
data bits are shifted out on MISO starting with the falling edge
of the 8th clock. MOSI must be tri-stated immediately after the
rising edge of the 8th clock. After the SPI read, SS must return
high.
CABLE LENGTH INDICATOR (CLI)
The Cable Length Indicator (CLI) provides an indication of the
length of cable attached to the input. CLI is accessible via bits
[7:3] of SPI register 03h. The 5-bit CLI ranges in decimal value
from 0 to 25 (“00000” to “11001” binary) and increases as the
cable length is increased. Figure 6 shows typical CLI values
vs. Belden 1694A cable length. CLI is valid for Belden 1694A
cable lengths of 0-140m at 2.97 Gbps, 0-200m at
1.485 Gbps, and 0-400m at 270 Mbps.
OUTPUT DRIVER ADJUSTMENTS
The output driver swing (amplitude) and offset voltage (common mode voltage) are adjustable via SPI register 01h.
The output swing is adjustable via bits [7:5] of SPI register
01h. The default value for these register bits is “011” for a
peak to peak differential output voltage of 700 mVP-P. The
output swing can be adjusted in 100 mV increments from 400
mVP-P to 800 mVP-P.
The offset voltage is adjustable via bits [4:2] of SPI register
01h. The default value for these register bits is “001” for an
output offset of 1.25V. The output common mode voltage may
be adjusted in 200 mV increments, from 1.05V to 1.85V. It can
also be set to “101” for the maximum offset voltage. At this
maximum offset voltage setting, the outputs are referenced to
the positive supply and the offset voltage is around 2.1V.
30083011
FIGURE 6. CLI vs. Belden 1694A Cable Length
APPLICATION OF CLI: EXTENDING 3G REACH
An application of CLI is to extend the 3G reach in systems
which have margin in the jitter budget. This allows for additional cable reach at 2.97 Gbps at the expense of slightly
higher output jitter. The extended 3G reach mode provides
15m of additional Belden 1694A cable reach, with an increase
of output jitter at this longer cable length of 0.05 to 0.1 UI.
The extended 3G reach mode is accessible via bit 2 of SPI
register 00h. In order to achieve longer 3G cable reach while
still maintaining the performance at HD and SD data rates, a
state machine can be implemented as shown in Figure 7.
(Note: If this procedure is not followed, the maximum equalizable cable lengths for HD and SD data rates will be limited
to less than what can be achieved in normal mode).
LAUNCH AMPLITUDE OPTIMIZATION
The LMH0384 can compensate for attenuation of the input
signal prior to the equalizer. This compensation is useful for
applications with a passive splitter at the equalizer input or a
non-ideal input termination network, and is controlled by SPI
register 02h.
Bit 7 of SPI register 02h is used for coarse control of the
launch amplitude setting. At the default setting of “0”, the
LMH0384 operates normally and expects a launch amplitude
9
www.national.com
LMH0384
of 800 mVP-P. Bit 7 may be set to “1” to optimize the LMH0384
for input signals with 6 dB of attenuation (400 mVP-P).
Once the coarse control is set, the LMH0384 input compensation may be further fine tuned by bits [6:3] of SPI register
02h. These bits may be used to tweak the input gain stage
-22% to +40% around the coarse control setting.

4.
Set the sleep mode to auto by writing “01” to bits [4:3] of
register 00h. Alternately, sleep mode may be set to off by
writing “00” to bits [4:3] of register 00h.
The equalizer remains in extended 3G reach mode until the
cable length is changed. If the cable length is changed, the
input signal drops out momentarily. Once this happens (register 00h, bit 7 = 0), then the following procedure must be used
to set the device back to normal mode:
1. Force the equalizer to sleep by writing “10” to bits [4:3] of
register 00h.
2. Turn off the extended 3G reach mode by writing “0” to
bit 2 of register 00h.
3. Wait at least 1ms.
4. Set the sleep mode to auto by writing “01” to bits [4:3] of
register 00h. Alternately, sleep mode may be set to off by
writing “00” to bits [4:3] of register 00h.
EXPLANATION OF EXTENDED 3G REACH MODE STATE
MACHINE (Figure 7)
When the LMH0384 is powered on, it will be in normal mode.
If there is no input signal (register 00h, bit 7 = 0) or if the input
cable is longer than a user programmable cable length (i.e.
180m, which means register 03h, bits [7:3] > 10010), then the
device should remain in normal mode.
Once an input signal is detected (register 00h, bit 7 = 1) AND
the detected cable length is shorter than the user programmed cable length of 180m (register 03h, bits [7:3] <
10010), then the equalizer can enter the extended 3G reach
mode to allow for longer cable lengths at 2.97 Gbps. This requires the following procedure:
1. Force the equalizer to sleep by writing “10” to bits [4:3] of
register 00h.

LMH0384
Application Information
APPLICATION CIRCUIT (SPI MODE)
Figure 8 shows the application circuit for the LMH0384 in SPI
mode.

FIGURE 8. Application Circuit (SPI Mode)

REPLACING THE LMH0344
In pin mode, the LMH0384 is a drop-in replacement for the
LMH0344SQ SDI cable equalizer. When replacing an
LMH0344 with an LMH0384, it is important to consider the
following points:
1. The LMH0384 auto sleep function is mapped to pin 12
which is a ground pin on the LMH0344SQ. When this pin
is grounded on the LMH0384, the auto sleep function is
disabled. To enable auto sleep mode on the LMH0384,
pin 12 must be pulled high.
2. Pin 4 and pin 9 on the LMH0344SQ are true ground pins.
For the LMH0384, pin 4 and pin 9 may be driven logic
low in pin mode (they do not require a true ground
connection).
3. The LMH0384 has lower input capacitance than the
LMH0344 which allows for improved input return loss.
The input return loss network may need to be modified.
In most cases, the LMH0384 should provide superior
input return loss.
The LMH0384 default output common mode voltage is
different than that of the LMH0344. In most cases, this
should not cause an issue. The LMH0384 and LMH0344
outputs can both be DC coupled to National's SDI
reclockers and cable drivers. In addition, the LMH0384
output can be DC coupled to LVDS and other inputs that
require lower input common mode voltages than the
LMH0344. The LMH0384 output common mode voltage
is adjustable via the SPI.
PCB LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
For information on layout and soldering of the LLP package,
pease refer to the following application note: AN-1187,
“Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP).”
The SMPTE 424M, 292M, and 259M standards have stringent requirements for the input return loss of receivers, which
essentially specify how closely the input must resemble a
75Ω network. Any non-idealities in the network between the
BNC and the equalizer will degrade the input return loss. Care
must be taken to minimize impedance discontinuities be11

tween the BNC and the equalizer to ensure that the characteristic impedance of this trace is 75Ω. Please consider the
following PCB recommendations:
• Use surface mount components, and use the smallest
components available. In addition, use the smallest size
component pads.
• Select trace widths that minimize the impedance
mismatch between the BNC and the equalizer.
• Select a board stack up that supports both 75Ω singleended traces and 100Ω loosely-coupled differential
traces.

12
Place return loss components closest to the equalizer
input pins.
Maintain symmetry on the complimentary signals.
Route 100Ω traces uniformly (keep trace widths and trace
spacing uniform along the trace).
Avoid sharp bends in the signal path; use 45° or radial
bends.
Place bypass capacitors close to each power pin, and use
the shortest path to connect equalizer power and ground
pins to the respective power or ground planes.
