• SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 344M
The M21234 is a high-speed, low-power, adaptive co-axial cable equalizer designed to increase the maximum lowjitter transmission distance of serial digital interface (SDI) video signals and DVB-ASI across commonly used
bandwidth-limiting 75 coaxial cable. This device automatically optimizes its transfer function based on the bit rate
and cable length to minimize the inter-symbol interference (ISI) jitter caused by the cable as well as remove the DC
offset components introduced with the pathological test pattern and AC coupling in systems.
The M21234 is designed to support SMPTE (292M) at HD data rates as well as SMPTE (259M and 344M) at SD
data rates between 143 Mbps and 540 Mbps.
The low-noise, high-gain equalizer allows for low jitter (output jitter of 0.25 UI pp @ 1.485 Gbps) HD transmissions
up to a typical cable length of 175m (Belden 1694A) and 130m (Belden 8281). For SD data rates, a typical cable
length of 350m (Belden 1694A) and 275m (Belden 8281) at 270 Mbps SD rate (with typical output jitter of 0.20 UI) is
supported.

Wideband (SD/HD-SDI) Adaptive Co-axial Cable Equalizer
Rev V2
3.0 Functional Description
3.1
Overview
The M21234 is a high-speed, low-power, adaptive co-axial cable equalizer designed to increase the maximum lowjitter transmission distance of serial digital interface (SDI) video signals and DVB-ASI across commonly used
bandwidth-limiting 75 coaxial cable. This device automatically optimizes its transfer function based on the bit rate
and cable length to minimize the inter-symbol interference (ISI) jitter caused by the cable as well as remove the DC
offset components introduced with the pathological test pattern and AC coupling in systems.
The M21234 is designed to support SMPTE (292M) at HD data rates as well as SMPTE (259M and 344M) at SD
data rates between 143 Mbps and 540 Mbps.
The low-noise, high-gain equalizer allows for low jitter (output jitter of 0.25 UI pp @ 1.485 Gbps) HD transmissions
up to a typical cable length of 175m (Belden 1694A) and 130m (Belden 8281). For SD data rates, a typical cable
length of 350m (Belden 1694A) and 275m (Belden 8281) at 270 Mbps SD rate (with typical output jitter of 0.20 UI)
is supported.

Pin Descriptions
3.4.1
General Nomenclature
Throughout this data sheet, physical pins will be denoted in BOLD print. An array of pins can be called by each
individual pin name (e.g. MF0, MF1, MF2, MF3, and MF6) or as an array (e.g. MF[0...3,6] or MF[0:3,6]]).
3.4.2
High-Speed Input
Digital video coaxial cables are AC-coupled to the high-speed low-noise inputs, SDI/SDI, which, are designed to
operate in both the single-ended or differential mode. The typical application is single-ended into the non-inverting
SDI input with the inverting SDI input biased to match the bias on the input used.
The M21234 does not contain any internal input terminations and requires both external input termination as well
as the matching circuit to exceed the SMPTE input return loss specifications. The package and IC design of the
M21234 has been optimized for high-speed performance allowing it to exceed the SMPTE return loss spec by 5 dB
to 10 dB external matching/termination network and commonly employed right-angle, through-hole, or vertical
mount 75 BNC connectors. For non-inverting single-ended operation, the recommended input circuit is shown in
Figure 3-2. For differential operation, the matching/termination circuit on SDI should be duplicated on SDI. The
internal pull ups automatically bias SDI/SDI to 0.72 x AVDD for proper AC coupled operation.

High-Speed Output
The high-speed differential outputs after equalization are made available on the SDO/SDO pins. The M21234
operates from 1.8V to 3.3V supplies. Outmode0 and Outmode1 control what standard of output is used. See

Adaptive Equalization Selection
In typical operation, the adaptive equalization is enabled with EQ_BYP = Low; however, with EQ_BYP = High, the
adaptive equalization and DC restore circuit is bypassed and the input is fed directly to the output.
3.4.5
Cable Length Indicator
When the adaptive equalization is enabled (EQ_BYP = Low), an analog voltage inversely proportional to the cable
length is made available on CLEN and defined by the equation VCLEN = (VDD - 0.9V) – (slope x Cable length).
The transfer function of M21234 is designed for all bit rates. The slope is 0.0021 with Belden 8281 and 0.0015 with
Belden 1694A. The dynamic range of CLEN will exceed older legacy devices. When the adaptive equalization is
disabled (EQ_BYP = High), the voltage falls to its highest value (it indicates 0m cable length). During an LOS (Loss
of input Signal) event, the voltage falls to its lowest value.

Output Mute and Signal Detect
When configured as an input by forcing a voltage on SD/MUTE = High (VDD), the output of the M21234 will be
inhibited at logic low (outputs muted). When SD/MUTE = Low (VSS), the output is never muted and the
programmable cable length based mute function is disabled.
When configured as an output (tied to a high-impedance input) or left floating, the programmable inhibit based on
cable length is enabled and the pin is defined as an LOS output (logic). In the event of an LOS, the output is muted.
The inhibit threshold is set with an analog voltage applied to the THRESH input pin. For Belden 1694A, the
threshold is set by the following equation: VTHRESH = VDD - (0.0030 x Cable length). This transfer function is
designed to match the Gennum part at 3.3V. For Belden 8281 co-axial cable the formula is
VTHRESH = VDD - (0.0042 x Cable length). The transfer function is valid at all bit rates.
3.4.7
Equalizer Detailed Description
The basic equalizer design consists of interlaced stages of gain and equalization to maximize both the overall
equalization gain as well as the input sensitivity for maximum performance with minimum jitter. In order to achieve
350m distance at 270 Mbps and 175m at 1.485 Gbps with Belden 1694A, the overall equalizer block has over
50 dB of broadband signal boost up to and past 1.5 GHz and maintains an input sensitivity of approximately 10 mV.
Using a high-performance silicon process, high gain-bandwidth products are achieved allowing for highperformance, wide dynamic range design with minimum power dissipation.
Since 270 Mbps and 1.485 Gbps signals are launched with different SMPTE specified rise and fall times which can
vary substantially (especially at the receive end after going though a wide dynamic range of valid cable lengths) the
M21234 equalization routine determines both the bit rate and the resultant signal HF attenuation as opposed to just
looking at the launch edge rates. By determining both sets of conditions, it is possible to optimize the equalizer for
both HD and SD performance. Therefore, the M21234 maintains the same max. cable length as optimized SD only
equalizers. For example, a SD signal through a short cable can have the same edge rate as a HD signal through a
long cable; yet, both conditions require different levels of equalization as well as different optimized inversetransfer functions. The M21234 advanced equalization technology can make the distinction between the two cases
for optimal performance. This also leads to proper mute threshold (THRESH) and cable length indicator (CLEN)
operation that is independent of the bit rate.
In order to accommodate both the SMPTE worst case equalizer pathological patterns as well as some customer
derived worst case DC offset patterns, a high-gain slicer is included in the signal path to correct for any eyecrossing wander due to AC coupling of the input.
