•
The GS2994 features DC restoration to compensate for the
DC content of SMPTE pathological test patterns.
The Carrier Detect output pin (CD) indicates whether a
valid input signal has been detected. It can be connected
directly to the SLEEP pin to enable automatic power-down
upon loss of carrier. In the manual sleep mode, a voltage
programmable threshold, which can be changed via the
SQ_ADJ pin, forces CD high when the input signal
amplitude falls below the threshold. This allows the GS2994
to distinguish between low-amplitude SDI signals and
noise at the input of the device.
The equalizing and DC restore stages are disengaged when
the BYPASS pin is HIGH. No equalization occurs in Bypass
mode.
The GS2994 includes a gain selection pin (GAIN_SEL)
which, when tied HIGH, compensates for 6dB flat
attenuation.
The differential outputs can be DC-coupled to Gennum
3.3V cable drivers and reclockers and to industry-standard
1.2V, 2.5V and 3.3V CML logic using the VCC_O pin. In
general, DC-coupling to any termination voltage between
1.2V and 3.3V is supported.
The GS2994 also includes programmable de-emphasis with
three operating levels in order to support long PCB traces.
The GS2994 is footprint and drop-in compatible with
existing GS2974 and GS2984 designs.
The device is available in a 16-pin, 4mm x 4mm QFN
package.

4. Detailed Description
The GS2994 is a high-speed BiCMOS IC designed to equalize serial digital signals.
The GS2994 can equalize 3Gb/s, HD and SD serial digital signals, and will typically
equalize 140m of Belden 1694A cable at 2.97Gb/s, 220m at 1.485Gb/s and 400m at
270Mb/s. The GS2994 can be powered from a single +3.3V power supply, and is
footprint compatible with the GS2974 and GS2984 equalizers. When using 1.2V CML,
the GS2994 typically consumes approximately 167mW of power.
4.1 Serial Data Inputs
The Serial Data signal can be connected to the input pins (SDI/SDI) in either a differential
or single-ended configuration. AC-coupling of the inputs is recommended, as the SDI
and SDI inputs are internally biased at approximately 1.8V.
4.2 Cable Equalization
The input signal passes through a variable gain equalizing stage, whose frequency
response closely matches the inverse of the cable loss characteristic. In addition, the
variation of the frequency response with control voltage imitates the variation of the
inverse cable loss characteristic with cable length.
The edge energy of the equalized signal is monitored by a detector circuit which
produces an error signal corresponding to the difference between the desired edge
energy and the actual edge energy. This error signal is integrated by both an internal and
an external AGC filter capacitor providing a steady control voltage for the gain stage. As
the frequency response of the gain stage is automatically varied by the application of
negative feedback, the edge energy of the equalized signal is kept at a constant level
which is representative of the original edge energy at the transmitter. The equalized
signal is also DC-restored, effectively restoring the logic threshold of the equalized
signal to its correct level independent of shifts due to AC-coupling.

4.3 Serial Digital Outputs
The digital output signals have a nominal voltage of either 800mVp-p or 400mVp-p as set
by the OP_CTL pin. Table 4-1 below shows the typical output voltage levels across
different common mode voltages and swing values:

4.4 Programmable Squelch Adjust (SQ_ADJ)
The GS2994 incorporates a programmable Squelch Adjust (SQ_ADJ) threshold.
This feature can be useful in applications where there are multiple input channels using
the GS2994 and the maximum gain can be limited to avoid crosstalk.
The SQ_ADJ pin acts to change the threshold of the Carrier Detect (CD) pin, through
voltage level variances. When the input signal drops below a certain threshold, the CD
pin will be driven HIGH, indicating that there is not a valid input signal. In applications
where programmable squelch adjust is not required, the SQ_ADJ pin may be left
unconnected. Figure 4-1 shows the relationship between the SQ_ADJ voltage and cable
length at which CD will assert or deassert.
This feature has been designed for use in applications such as routers, where signal
crosstalk and circuit noise cause the Equalizer to output erroneous data when no input
signal is present. The use of a Carrier Detect function with a fixed internal reference
does not solve this problem, since the signal to noise ratio on the circuit board could be
significantly less than the default signal detection level set by the on chip reference.
NOTE: SQ_ADJ is designed to operate when the device is in manual sleep mode. In this
situation, CD should not be connected to SLEEP.

4.5 Carrier Detect, Sleep, and Auto-Sleep
The GS2994 includes a SLEEP input pin, which allows the application interface to put the
GS2994 into a low-power sleep mode, consuming less than 30mW. Set the SLEEP pin
HIGH to place the chip in its sleep state. In this mode, the Carrier Detect output will still
function in order to detect valid Serial Digital Input.
The Carrier Detect output pin (CD) indicates the presence of a valid signal at the input of
the GS2994. When CD is LOW, the device has detected a valid input on SDI and SDI.
When CD is HIGH, the device has not detected a valid input.
The Carrier Detect output still functions when the GS2994 is in sleep mode, such that a
valid Serial Digital Input can be detected at all times. In the sleep state, the carrier detect
functionality requires that the GAIN_SEL input be set to 0.
Auto-Sleep can be enabled by connecting CD to SLEEP. When connected, the GS2994
will automatically go into standby mode when there is a loss of Serial Digital Input
signal.
NOTE 1: CD will only detect loss of carrier for data rates greater than 19Mb/s.
NOTE 2: If the maximum cable length is exceeded (set by the SQ_ADJ pin) and the
device is not in Bypass mode, the CD pin will not be driven LOW, even if a carrier is
present.
NOTE 3: If the CD is connected to SLEEP, SQ_ADJ should either be left open, or
connected to ground.

(0V), OP_CTL is forced LOW (0V). The input level at which the part is muted can be set
by the SQ_ADJ pin through suitable voltage variances as described in Section 4.4.
NOTE: when SQ_ADJ functionality is used and/or in Auto_mute, the SLEEP pin should
be left open.
5. Application Information
5.1 High Gain Adaptive Cable Equalizers
The GS2994 is Gennum's latest multi-rate adaptive cable equalizer. In order to continue
to extend the cable length that an equalizer will remain operational over, it is necessary
to have high gain in the equalizer.
A video cable equalizer must provide wide band gain over a range of frequencies in
order to accommodate the range of data rates and signal patterns that are present in a
SMPTE compliant serial video stream.
The GS2994 has an increase in gain over the GS2974A at critical HD and 3Gb/s
frequencies, and because of this, the GS2994 may be sensitive to signals at the input that
the GS2974A will not be sensitive to.
Small levels of signal or noise present at the input pins of the Equalizer may cause
chatter at the output. In order to prevent this from happening, particular attention must
be paid to board layout.
5.2 PCB Layout
Special attention must be paid to component layout when designing Serial Digital
Interfaces for HDTV. An FR-4 dielectric can be used, however, controlled impedance
transmission lines are required for PCB traces longer than approximately 1cm. Note the
following PCB artwork features used to optimize performance:
•
PCB trace width for 3Gb/s rate signals is closely matched to SMT component width
to minimize reflections due to change in trace impedance
•
The PCB ground plane is removed under the GS2994 input components to minimize
parasitic capacitance
•
The PCB ground plane is removed under the GS2994 output components to
minimize parasitic capacitance
•
High-speed traces are curved to minimize impedance changes
