Introduction
allows a forward migration path from SD to HD to 3G. The
LMH0026 offers improved performance and extremely low
output jitter (half the output jitter of the CLC016 at 270 Mbps).
The LMH0026 also offers a lower supply voltage (3.3V), enabling system designers to migrate to lower-power designs.
The LMH0026 provides a 37% power savings over the
CLC016, with typical power of 330 mW in comparison with
525 mW for the CLC016.
Table 1 shows the key differences between the CLC016 and
LMH0026.
The LMH0026 SD-SDI reclocker can replace the CLC016 reclocker in many applications. The LMH0026 and CLC016 are
both reclockers designed to recover and retime data, primarily
for the SMPTE 259M interface. Both reclockers are rated for
industrial temperature range operation (-40°C to +85°C).
The LMH0026, the newer generation SDI reclocker, has advanced features and is pin compatible with the LMH0046 HDSDI reclocker and the LMH0346 3G-SDI reclocker. This

How To Replace the CLC016 with
the LMH0026
Replacing the CLC016 with the LMH0026 requires a few simple steps. The device packages and pinouts are quite different
so this change requires a new PCB layout. To replace the
CLC016 with the LMH0026, follow these steps:
1. Change the power supply from 5V to 3.3V.
2. Replace the input termination with a single 100Ω
differential termination, located close to the LMH0026
input pins. Check the output common mode voltage of
the driving device to determine if it is compatible with the
LMH0026 input common mode range—if not, add AC
coupling capacitors in series with the input, prior to the
100Ω termination.

3.
Removed the 75Ω pullups on the output and replace with
a 100Ω differential termination located at the input of the
next stage. The outputs may also be AC coupled, but no
pullups are required.
4. Change the loop filter circuit to a single 56 nF capacitor
between LF1 and LF2.
5. Add a 27 MHz crystal or suitable external clock
reference. Connect the crystal between the XTAL IN/
EXT CLK and XTAL OUT pins along with the 39 pF
capacitors as shown in the typical application in the
datasheet, or simply connect the 27 MHz external clock
to the XTAL IN/EXT CLK pin.
Figure 1 shows the typical application for the CLC016, and
Figure 2 shows the typical application for the LMH0026.

(3.3V), with the same minimum differential input amplitude as
the CLC016. This input common mode voltage range allows
DC coupling to many 3.3V and 2.5V devices.
INPUT INTERFACE
The input common mode voltage range of the CLC016 is between 2.5V and VCC (5V), and the minimum differential input
amplitude is 200 mV. When the CLC016 input is driven by an
equalizer such as the CLC014 (with its open collector output),
the CLC016 input interface will typically consist of 75Ω pullups
to VCC, as shown in Figure 1.
The LMH0026 input interface is similar to that of the CLC016,
but better suited for interfacing to the 3.3V and lower supply
voltages of current generation devices. The input common
mode voltage range of the LMH0026 is from 1.2V to VCC
www.national.com
OUTPUT INTERFACE
The CLC016 outputs are open collector and require 75Ω
pullups to 5V to generate an output voltage. This structure has
some limitations when interfacing to non-5V systems. The
CLC016 outputs are essentially cut off if the SDO output voltage drops below VCC-1.6V (typically 3.4V), so this prevents
DC-coupling to other 3.3V devices.

CLC016 applications, CD is tied to MUTE to latch the output
when no input signal is present. The LMH0026 does not provide an input carrier detector, but it does provide a robust
LOCK DETECT signal to indicate that data is being received
and the PLL is locked. LOCK DETECT may be connected to
OUTPUT MUTE to mute the data and clock outputs when no
valid data is being received.
The LMH0026 includes advanced features not present in the
CLC016. The LMH0026 includes a BYPASS/AUTO BYPASS function which can be used to either force the reclocker
to output all data without reclocking it, or automatically bypass
only unsupported data rates while reclocking 270 Mbps data.
The LMH0026 also provides the option of either a second reclocked data output or the serial data rate clock (the CLC016
only provides the clock and has no option for a second data
output).
LOOP FILTER
The CLC016 external loop filter circuit typically consists of a
1.0 µF capacitor, an 82 pF capacitor, and a 500Ω resistor.
These components define the overall jitter transfer function
and control the acquisition performance of the PLL, and may
be changed to affect these parameters. For the LMH0026, the
external loop filter should consist of a single 56 nF capacitor
only. The LMH0026 loop filter was designed and optimized
for a 56 nF capacitor and it should not be changed.
LMH0026 Enhancements over the
CLC016
RATE SELECTION
The CLC016 can be configured to recognize up to four different data rates (between 40 Mbps and 400 Mbps) using external resistors, and can further be set to automatically detect
between these four rates or manually configured for the desired rate. The LMH0026 supports a single 270 Mbps data
rate, and bypasses other data rates up to 1.5 Gbps. The
LMH0026 also requires an external 27 MHz reference clock
(crystal or suitable external reference) which is not necessary
for the CLC016, but this allows for its superior performance:
the LMH0026 has typical output jitter of 0.02 UI at 270 Mbps
(with 0.2 UI input jitter) vs. typical output jitter of 0.04 UI at 270
Mbps for the CLC016.
The LMH0026 is a solid upgrade and good replacement for
the CLC016. It is designed in a newer, more advanced process. The LMH0026 offers lower power, lower jitter, better
ESD protection, a more flexible output interface, and new
features such as a reclocker bypass and a second reclocked
data output. The LMH0026’s smaller, space-saving package
allows for more compact designs. The PCB layout is simpler
as the LMH0026 requires less PCB components overall than
the CLC016. In addition, the LMH0026’s pin compatibility with
HD-SDI and 3G-SDI equalizers offers an easy upgrade path
and allows future-proof designs.
OTHER FEATURES
The CLC016 includes an input Carrier Detect (CD) signal to
indicate the presence of transitions at the input. In typical

The LMH0026 provides much more flexibility. The LMH0026
outputs are CML with internal 50Ω pullups to 3.3V. They may
be DC coupled to many more types of inputs, including the
LMH0001 cable driver. Typically only a far-end differential
termination (a simple resistor) is required. If the LMH0026
output common mode voltage is not compatible with the input
common mode voltage of the receiving device, the outputs
may be AC coupled. The outputs do not require pullups to
VCC.
