LMH0034
SMPTE 292M / 259M Adaptive Cable Equalizer
General Description
Features
The LMH0034 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 143 Mbps to 1.485 Gbps and
supports SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 259M.
n SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 259M
compliant
n Supports DVB-ASI at 270 Mbps
n High data rates: 143 Mbps to 1.485 Gbps
n Equalizes up to 140 meters of Belden 1694A at 1.485
Gbps or up to 350 meters of Belden 1694A at 270 Mbps
n Manual bypass, cable length indicator, and output mute
with a programmable threshold
n Single-ended or differential input
n 50Ω differential outputs
n Single 3.3V supply operation
n 208mW typical power consumption with 3.3V supply
n Replaces the GS1524 and GS1524A
The LMH0034 implements DC restoration to correctly handle
pathological data conditions. DC restoration can be bypassed for low data rate applications. The equalizer is flexible in allowing either single-ended or differential input drive.
Additional features include a combined carrier detect and
output mute pin which mutes the output when no signal is
present. A programmable mute reference is used to mute the
output at a selectable level of signal degradation. A cable
length indicator is provided to determine the amount of cable
being equalized.
Applications
n SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 344M, and SMPTE 259M serial
digital interfaces
n Serial digital data equalization and reception
n Data recovery equalization

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 LMH0034 meets this specification on the SD034 evaluation board from 5MHz to 1.5GHz.

carrier detect is de-asserted and the outputs are muted is
decreased. MUTEREF may be left unconnected for maximum
equalization before muting.
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. Cable Length
Indicator (CLI) is derived from this block.
The Carrier Detect / Mute block generates the carrier detect
signal and controls the mute function of the output. This
block utilizes the bi-directional CD/MUTE signal along with
Mute Reference (MUTEREF).
The Output Driver produces SDO and SDO.
CARRIER DETECT / MUTE (CD/MUTE)
Carrier Detect / Mute is bi-directional, serving as both a
carrier detect (output function) and mute (input function).
When used as an output, CD/MUTE determines if a valid
signal is present at the LMH0034 input. If MUTEREF is used,
the carrier detect threshold will be altered accordingly.
CD/MUTE provides a high voltage when no signal is present
at the LMH0034 input, and the outputs are automatically
muted. CD/MUTE is low when a valid input signal has been
detected, and the outputs are automatically enabled.
As an input, CD/MUTE can be used to override the carrier
detect and manually mute or enable the LMH0034 outputs.
Applying a high input to CD/MUTE will mute the LMH0034
outputs. Applying a low input will force the outputs to be
active regardless of the length of cable or the state of
MUTEREF.
INPUT INTERFACING
The LMH0034 accepts either differential or single-ended
input. The input must be AC coupled. Transformer coupling
is not supported.
The LMH0034 correctly handles equalizer pathological signals for standard definition and high definition serial digital
video, as described in SMPTE RP 178 and RP 198, respectively.
CABLE LENGTH INDICATOR (CLI)
The cable length indicator provides a voltage to indicate the
length of cable being equalized. The CLI voltage decreases
as the cable length increases.
MUTE REFERENCE (MUTEREF)
The mute reference 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

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, “CLC034 PCB Layout Techniques.”
REPLACING THE GENNUM GS1524
The LMH0034 is form-fit-function compatible with the Gennum GS1524 and GS1524A.
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.
