LMH0044
SMPTE 292M / 259M Adaptive Cable Equalizer
General Description
Features
The LMH0044 SMPTE 292M / 259M adaptive cable equalizer
is a monolithic integrated circuit for equalizing 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 1.485 Gbps and supports
SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 259M.
The LMH0044 implements DC restoration to correctly handle
pathological data conditions (DC restoration may be bypassed for low data rate applications). The equalizer may be
driven in either a single ended or differential configuration.
Additional features include separate carrier detect and output
mute pins which may be tied together to mute the output when
no signal is present. A programmable mute reference is provided to mute the output at a selectable level of signal degradation.

Note 1: "Absolute Maximum Ratings" are those parameter values beyond which the life and operation of the device cannot be guaranteed. The stating herein of
these maximums shall not be construed to imply that the device can or should be operated at or beyond these values. The table of "Electrical Characteristics"
specifies acceptable device operating conditions.
Note 2: Current flow into device pins is defined as positive. Current flow out of device pins is defined as negative. All voltages are stated referenced to VEE = 0
Volts.
Note 3: Typical values are stated for VCC = +3.3V and TA = +25°C.
Note 4: Specification is guaranteed by characterization.
Note 5: Specification is guaranteed by design.
Note 6: The maximum input voltage swing assumes a nonstressing, DC-balance signal; specifically, the SMPTE-recommended color bar test signal. Pathological
or other stressing signals may not be used. This specification is for 0m cable only.
Note 7: Supply current depends on the amount of cable being equalized. The current is highest for short cable and decreases as the cable length is increased.
Refer to Figures 1, 2.
Note 8: Input return loss is dependent on board design. The LMH0044 meets this specification on the SD044 evaluation board from 5 MHz to 1.5 GHz.

CARRIER DETECT (CD) AND MUTE
Carrier detect CD indicates if a valid signal is present at the
LMH0044 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 LMH0044 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 LMH0044
outputs. 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.
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 / Mute block generates the carrier detect
signal and controls the mute function of the output. This block
utilizes the CD and MUTE signals along with Mute Reference
(MUTEREF).
The Output Driver produces SDO and SDO.
INPUT INTERFACING
The LMH0044 accepts either differential or single-ended input. The input must be AC coupled. Transformer coupling is
not supported.
The LMH0044 correctly handles equalizer pathological signals for standard definition and high definition serial digital
video, as described in SMPTE RP 178 and RP 198, respectively.
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. As the applied MUTEREF voltage is increased, the
amount of cable that can be equalized before carrier detect is
de-asserted and the outputs are muted is decreased.
MUTEREF may be left unconnected for maximum equalization
before muting.
OUTPUT INTERFACING
The SDO and SDO outputs are internally loaded with 50Ω.
They produce a 750 mVP-P differential output, or a
375 mVP-P single-ended output.

Application Information
PCB LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
Please refer to the following Application Note on National's
website: AN-1372, “LMH0034 PCB Layout Techniques.”
The PCB layout techniques in the application note apply to
the LMH0044 as well.
REPLACING THE GENNUM GS1574A
The LMH0044 is footprint compatible with the Gennum
GS1574A.
SUPPLY CURRENT VS. CABLE LENGTH
The supply current (ICC) depends on the amount of cable being equalized. The current is highest for short cable and
decreases as the cable length is increased. Figure 1 shows
supply current vs. Belden 1694A cable length for 1.485 Gbps
data and Figure 2 shows supply current vs. Belden 1694A
cable length for 270 Mbps data.
