CABLE TYPES AND LENGTHS 960MegaQ™ is a fully automated, stand-alone equalizer for both 960H (WD1) and 720H (D1) composite video resolutions transmitted over UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair, i.e., Cat 5, Cat 6, etc.) or coaxial (RG-59) cables. Differential video signals sent over long distances of twisted pair wire exhibit large high frequency attenuation, resulting in loss of high frequency detail/blurring. The exact loss characteristic is a complex function of wire gauge, length, composition, and coupling to adjacent conductors. The video signal can be restored by applying a filter with the exact inverse transfer function to the far end signal. 960MegaQ™ is designed to compensate for the losses due to long cables, and incorporates the functionality and flexibility to match a wide variety of cable types and loss characteristics. While 960MegaQ™ was designed and optimized for stand-alone operation, with no need for any external control of any kind, it has an optional SPI serial interface with some additional features. See “Additional Equalization Modes Available With the Serial Interface” on page 11 for more information on the features and operation of the serial interface.

APPLICATION CIRCUIT FOR UTP CABLE 9 FN8358.0 December 18, 2012 ISL59960 Application Information Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Application Circuit Figure 9 shows the complete schematic for a 960MegaQ™ equalizer configured for unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The input signal is terminated into the network formed by R1, R2, and R3. C1 and C2 AC-couple the signal into 960MegaQ™. To protect the front-end circuitry, 5V transorbs (Z1 and Z2) should be used instead of diodes because the signals on either differential input may swing far enough below ground to turn on a diode and distort the video. On the output side, C5, R5, and C4 form a compensation network, while R6 provides 75Ω source-termination for the video output. 960MegaQ™ has an native gain of 6dB, so when VIDEO OUT is terminated into 75Ω (the input to a DVR, TV, etc.), R6 and the 75Ω terminator form a 2:1 divider, producing standard video amplitude across the 75Ω terminator.

Transorb Figure 10 shows the input termination recommended for coaxial cables. The differential termination resistance is now 75Ω to match the characteristic impedance of the RG-59 coax cable. C3 bypasses high-frequency noise on the coax ground line to system ground. This allows the coax ground to be independent of the system at low frequencies (DC to 50/60Hz) to accommodate differences in the ground potential of the remote video source(s). The coax startup network (D1, R4, C4) prevents a rare start-up condition that can occur when a high average-picture-level (e.g., white screen) video signal is present on the inputs before the power has been applied. Z1 5V TVS Cx may be used to balance the capacitance of the differential inputs. The value of Cx should be determined by calculating how much trace capacitance is added by the coax startup circuit. A typical value for a good layout is ~5pF. Note that only coax or UTP should be connected at any one time - this circuit does not multiplex between them. 37.5Ω C1 R1 1kΩ 37.5Ω R3 R2 C2 IN+ GND 960MegaQTM IN- 1.0µF C3 0.1µF TVS = Transient Voltage Suppressor a.k.a. Transorb FIGURE 10. APPLICATION CIRCUIT FOR COAX CABLE Dual UTP/Coax Input Circuit If desired, it is also possible to support both UTP and coax cables with the same PCB layout using two SPST switches that are closed when in coax mode (Figure 11). Since UTP requires a 100Ω termination network while coax requires 75Ω, a switch to introduce a shunt 300Ω resistor when in coax mode will change the termination from 100Ω to 75Ω. A second switch is required to engage C3. The addition of the coax startup circuit (D1, R4, C4) can unbalance the capacitance of the differential pair and degrade the CMRR in UTP applications. This in turn could cause excess noise at long lengths of UTP. In UTP applications, if the output signal is too noisy at long distances, an optional capacitor 10 FIGURE 11. APPLICATION CIRCUIT FOR UTP/COAX CABLE Using the ISL59960 with Steel Core Coax Although the ISL59960 was designed for copper based cables, it is capable of equalizing signals for coaxial applications that use steel core cabling. Due to the higher DC and low-band resistance of this cable type, the ISL59960 will not equalize to the same distance as copper based cables. See Table 1 on page 9 for maximum equalization distances. Input Multiplexing Placing a semiconductor multiplexer in front of this part may increase high frequency attenuation and noise. However, a low-capacitance mechanical relay may be acceptable. Note that changing from one channel to another in Lock Until Reset mode will require a reset (INVERT toggle) to trigger equalization of the new channel (see “Lock Until RESET” on page 10). For best performance, do not multiplex the inputs to the equalizer - this can further degrade the signal. Instead, multiplex at the output after equalization has been performed. Stand-Alone Operation and Configuration In its default stand-alone configuration, 960MegaQ™ features two modes of automatic cable equalization: Lock Until Reset and Continuous Update. Lock Until Reset is the recommended mode for most applications. LOCK UNTIL RESET In the Lock Until Reset mode, once 960MegaQ™ finds the optimum equalization and the LOCKED signal goes high, the equalization is frozen and will not change until either the power is cycled or the INVERT signal is toggled, which initiates a re-equalization of the input signal. Re-equalization is usually only necessary during device/system evaluation - in normal operation 960MegaQ™ powers-up, acquires and equalizes the signal, and continues to equalize until/unless it is powered-down. If the signal is lost in Lock Until Reset mode, the LOCKED pin will not FN8358.0 December 18, 2012 ISL59960 go low until/unless the device is reset by toggling the INVERT pin. A reset should only be necessary if the length or type of cable was changed without cycling power. To enable the Lock Until Reset mode, tie the LOCKED output pin to the FREEZE input pin as shown in Figure 9 on page 9. To generate a reset (and trigger a re-equalization), toggle the external INVERT pin. Depending on the initial state of INVERT, this would be a high-low-high or low-high-low sequence. The COLOR Pin The color pin has 2 modes of operation. It is typically used to indicate whether or not the incoming signal has a colorburst or not. The state of the color signal is then used to tell the signal processing logic whether or not it can rely on the presence of a colorburst signal. A logic high indicates a color signal; a logic low indicates monochrome. COLOR PIN CONTINUOUS UPDATE In the Continuous Update mode, 960MegaQ™ will continuously try to find the optimum equalization solution. When the equalization has settled for 100 sequential video lines with no changes, the LOCKED pin will go high. However, once lock is achieved, noise and average-picture-level changes may cause the device to unlock, causing some image perturbation while 960MegaQ™ re-equalizes. The Continuous Update mode is enabled whenever the FREEZE pin is set to a logic low (grounded). Polarity Detection and Correction 960MegaQ™ features polarity detection and correction, automatically detecting incorrectly-wired input signals and inverting the signal inside the IC as necessary. The detected polarity is indicated by the state of the INVERT pin. The INVERT pin has 2 modes of operation. It is typically used to indicate whether or not the incoming signal is inverted (the “+” signal on the “-” input and vice-versa). The state of the invert signal is then used to tell the signal processing logic whether or not to invert the signal in the signal path. A logic high on INVERT indicates that the positive differential input signal is on IN- (pin 5) and the negative differential input signal is on IN+ (pin 3). A logic low indicates nominal polarity. However, the unique design of the INVERT I/O pin (Figure 12) also allows 960MegaQ™’s internal inversion detector to be overdriven externally, forcing 960MegaQ™ to invert or not invert the signal regardless of the state of the inversion detection function. This is not necessary in normal operation, but it may improve performance in particularly noisy environments when the polarity of the signal is guaranteed to be correct. 13kΩ SIGNAL PROCESSING ISL59960 FIGURE 13. COLOR PIN STRUCTURE However, the unique design of the COLOR I/O pin (Figure 13) also allows 960MegaQ™’s internal color detector to be overdriven externally. This is not necessary in normal operation, but it may improve performance in particularly noisy environments when the signal type is predetermined. Monochrome Video Signals 960MegaQ™ will equalize monochrome signals to the same distance as color signals. However, due to the high level of noise past ~3500 feet, the COLOR and LOCKED indicators may become invalid for monochrome signals. The device will still equalize properly if this occurs. Security Cameras 960MegaQ™ is ideal for security camera installations. The automatic adaptive equalizer doesn't need any active silicon on the transmit side of the cable, enabling upgrading of older installations without having to touch the installed camera base, including older monochrome cameras. 960MegaQ™ automatically adjusts for wiring polarity errors as well as for optimum image quality. These features eliminate the need for the installer to make any adjustments. With an extended equalization range of 4000ft, the ISL59960 enables cameras to be placed in even more remote locations, enabling coverage of up to three square miles from a single monitoring station.

INVERT PIN STRUCTURE Additional Equalization Modes Available With the Serial Interface In addition to the Lock Until Reset and Continuous Update modes, software control of 960MegaQ™ through the SPI interface adds a Lock Until Signal Loss mode and a Manual Equalization mode. Note: When controlling 960MegaQ™ through the SPI interface, the external FREEZE pin must be tied to ground (logic low). Failure to keep FREEZE at a logic low will prevent the software controls from working properly. 11 FN8358.0 December 18, 2012 ISL59960 All of the equalization modes are selected via the two “Locking Mode/Manual Length Enable” register bits, 0x05[1:0]. CONTINUOUS UPDATE Continuous Update mode is entered by setting address 0x05[1:0] = 00b. Continuous Update behavior is the same as described in the stand-alone mode. LOCK UNTIL RESET Lock Until Reset mode is entered by setting address 0x05[1:0] = 10b. Lock Until Reset behavior is the same as described in the stand-alone mode, with the exception of how to generate a reset. To generate a reset via software, select Continuous Update mode and then return to Lock Until Reset mode (register 0x05[1:0] = 00b then 10b). Toggling INVERT (either the hardware pin or the software bit) will not cause a reset/re-equalization event. LOCK UNTIL SIGNAL LOSS Lock Until Signal Loss mode is entered by setting address 0x05[1:0] = 01b. Lock Until Signal Loss can only be enabled via the SPI interface. In the Lock Until Signal Loss mode, 960MegaQ™ will freeze the equalization once the LOCKED pin goes high (in the same way as Lock Until Reset). Unlike the “Settled” state in the Continuous Update mode, only a signal loss lasting more than 1ms (typical) will cause 960MegaQ™ to re-equalize the signal when it returns. In this sense, the Lock Until Signal Loss mode can be considered as halfway between the Continuous Update mode and the Lock Until Reset mode. The Lock Until Signal Loss mode is useful, for example, when testing or demonstrating a system by plugging in multiple different length cables - it eliminates the need to also generate a reset. To prevent potentially undesired re-equalization, signal losses lasting less than 1ms (typical) do not trigger a re-equalization. MANUAL LENGTH Manual Length mode is entered by setting address 0x05[1:0] = 11b. Manual Length mode allows the forcing of specific cable lengths, cable type, DC gains, etc. (see the “Register Listing” table on page 13). The “Cable Type” bit (0x05 [4]) allows selection between the two most common cable types for security video: Cat 5/Cat 6 or steel core RG-59 coaxial. However, since many of 960MegaQ™’s automatic functions and adjustments are disabled in Manual Length mode, performance is almost always worse than what is achieved in any of the automatic modes. For example, automatic polarity correction is disabled so the polarity must be manually set using the INVERT bit. There is no practical reason to ever use Manual Length mode in normal operation. 12 Serial Interface Protocol While 960MegaQ™ is designed to work as a stand-alone equalizer, it does have a serial interface that can be used to control it and monitor its state. The serial interface is used to read and write the configuration registers. It uses three signals (SCK, SD, and SEN) for programming. The serial clock can operate up to 5MHz (5Mbits/s). The “Serial Timing Diagram” on page 8 shows the timing of serial I/O. A transaction begins when the host microcontroller takes SEN (serial enable) high. The first 8 bits on the SD (serial data) pin are latched by 960MegaQ™ on the rising edge of SCK (serial clock) to form the address byte. The MSB of the address byte indicates whether the operation is a read (1) or a write (0), and the next seven bits indicate which register is to be read from or written to. Each read and write operation consists of 16 bits: 8 bits for an address byte followed by 8 bits of data. See the “Serial Timing Diagram” on page 6 for more details on using the SPI interface. TABLE 2. ADDRESS BYTE FORMAT 0 = Write 1 = Read A6 A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 (MSB) A0 (LSB) WRITE OPERATION After the address byte is clocked in, the next 8 bits should contain the data to be sent to the register identified in the address byte. READ OPERATION After the rising edge of the 8th clock after the address byte is clocked in, the microcontroller should tristate the SD line so 960MegaQ™ can begin to output data on the SD pin (from the register identified in the address byte), beginning on the 9th rising edge of SCK. The data should be latched on the falling edge of SCK to allow enough time for the data to settle. See “Serial Timing Diagram” on page 6 for more details on how to read from the registers.

Note that the length in this register is for Cat 5 cable when “Cable Type” (reg 0x05[4]) equals 0. When “Cable Type” is set to 1 (coax mode), then the length is for steel core coax. In coax mode, the maximum length is 0x0F (~1200 feet) and setting the register higher than this value does not provide any increase in equalization. 0x03 Manual DC Gain (0x20) 5:0 Manual DC Gain 0x00: Maximum DC Gain (+3dB) 0x20: Mid-Scale 0dB 0x3F: Minimum DC Gain (-3dB) This register sets the DC Gain when the device is in manual length mode (reg 0x05[1:0] = 11). 13 FN8358.0 December 18, 2012 ISL59960 Register Listing ADDRESS 0x04 0x05 (Continued) REGISTER (DEFAULT VALUE) Pin Overrides (0x00) Equalization Control (0x00) 14 BIT(S) FUNCTION NAME DESCRIPTION 0 Freeze Select 0: Use value of FREEZE pin. 1: Use value in “Freeze Value” bit 1 Freeze Value If Freeze Select = 1, then: 0: Equalization is not frozen 1: Equalization is frozen at current setting.

FN8358.0 December 18, 2012 ISL59960 Bypassing and Layout Considerations 960MegaQ™ requires a dedicated ground plane in order to function properly. For 2-layer boards, pour a quarter-inch ground plane extending around the device on both the top and bottom layers. Ensure that the ground plane on the bottom layer is a solid plane with no traces cutting through it. Bypass capacitors must be placed as close as possible to the device in order to ensure good performance at longer lengths of equalization. Ensure that the ground connections for the bypass capacitors connect directly to the same uniform ground plane described previously. General PowerPAD Design Considerations The thermal pad must be connected to the ground plane for heat dissipation. Figure 14 is an example of how to use vias to remove heat from the IC. Power Dissipation The maximum power dissipation allowed in a package is determined according to Equation 1: T JMAX – T AMAX PD MAX = -------------------------------------------Θ JA (EQ. 1) Where: TJMAX = Maximum junction temperature TAMAX = Maximum ambient temperature θJA = Thermal resistance of the package The maximum power dissipation actually produced by an IC is the total quiescent supply current times the total power supply voltage, plus the power in the IC due to the load, or: for sourcing use Equation 2: V OUT PD MAX = V S × I SMAX + ( V S – V OUT ) × ---------------R (EQ. 2) L for sinking use Equation 3: (EQ. 3) PD MAX = V S × I SMAX + ( V OUT – V S ) × I LOAD FIGURE 14. PCB VIA PATTERN The thermal pad is electrically connected to GND through the high resistance IC substrate. We recommend you fill the thermal pad area with vias. The via array should be centered in the thermal pad and placed such that the center on center spacing is 3x the via radius. Vias should be small, but large enough to allow solder wicking during reflow. Connect all vias to ground. It is important the vias have a low thermal resistance for efficient heat transfer. Do not use “thermal relief” patterns. It is important to have a solid connection of the plated-through hole to each plane. 15 Where: VS = Supply voltage ISMAX = Maximum quiescent supply current VOUT = Maximum output voltage of the application RLOAD = Load resistance tied to ground ILOAD = Load current FN8358.0 December 18, 2012 ISL59960 Revision History The revision history provided is for informational purposes only and is believed to be accurate, but not warranted.
