GS1574A HD-LINX® II Adaptive Cable Equalizer GS1574A Data Sheet Features Description • SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 259M compliant • Automatic cable equalization • Multi-standard operation from 143Mb/s to 1.485Gb/s The GS1574A is a second-generation high-speed BiCMOS integrated circuit designed to equalize and restore signals received over 75Ω co-axial cable. The GS1574A is designed to support SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 259M, and is optimized for performance at 270Mb/s and 1.485Gb/s. • Supports DVB-ASI at 270Mb/s • Small footprint (4mm x 4mm) • Pb-free and RoHS compliant • Manual bypass (useful for low data rates with slow rise/fall times) • Performance optimized for 270Mb/s and 1.485Gb/s • Typical maximum equalized length of Belden 1694A cable: 140m at 1.485Gb/s, 350m at 270Mb/s • 50Ω differential output (with internal 50Ω pull-ups) • Manual output mute or programmable mute based on max cable length adjust • Single 3.3V power supply operation • Operating temperature range: 0°C to +70°C Applications • SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 259M Coaxial Cable Serial Digital Interfaces. The GS1574A features DC restoration to compensate for the DC content of SMPTE pathological test patterns. A voltage programmable mute threshold (MCLADJ) is included to allow muting of the GS1574A output when an approximate selected cable length is reached for SMPTE 259M signals. This feature allows the GS1574A to distinguish between low amplitude SD-SDI signals and noise at the input of the device. The serial digital outputs of the GS1574A may be forced to a mute state by applying a voltage to the MUTE pin. Power consumption is typically 215mW using a 3.3V power supply. The GS1574A is lead-free, and the encapsulation compound does not contain halogenated flame retardant. This component and all homogeneous subcomponents are RoHS compliant.

Detailed Description The GS1574A is a high speed BiCMOS IC designed to equalize serial digital signals. The GS1574A can equalize both HD and SD serial digital signals, and will typically equalize greater than 140m of Belden 1694A cable at 1.485Gb/s and 350m at 270Mb/s. The GS1574A is powered from a single +3.3V power supply and consumes approximately 215mW of power. 4.1 Serial Digital Inputs The serial data signal may 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. The digital output signals have a nominal voltage of 750mVpp differential, or 375mVpp single ended when terminated with 50Ω as shown in Figure 4-1. 33416 - 5 March 2006 11 of 16 GS1574A Data Sheet +187.5mV VCM = 2.925V typical SDO -187.5mV SDO +187.5mV 50 50 VCM = 2.925V typical -187.5mV Figure 4-1: Typical Output Voltage Levels 4.3 Programmable Mute Output For SMPTE 259M inputs, the GS1574A incorporates a programmable threshold output mute (MCLADJ). In applications where there are multiple input channels using the GS1574A, it is advantageous to have a programmable mute output to avoid signal crosstalk. The output of the GS1574A can be muted when the input signal decreases below a certain input level. This threshold is determined using the input voltage applied to the MCLADJ pin. The MCLADJ pin may be left unconnected for applications where output muting is not required. 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: MCLADJ is only recommended for data rates up to 360Mb/s. For data rates above this, MCLADJ should be left floating. 4.4 Mute and Carrier Detect The GS1574A includes a MUTE input pin that allows the application interface to mute the serial digital output at any time. Set the MUTE pin HIGH to mute SDO and SDO. In this case, the outputs will mute regardless of the setting of the BYPASS pin. A Carrier Detect output pin (CD) indicates the presence of a valid signal at the input of the GS1574A. 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. NOTE: CD will only detect loss of carrier for data rates greater than 19Mb/s. The CD output pin may be connected directly to the MUTE input pin to enable automatic muting of the GS1574A when no valid input signal has been detected. NOTE: If the maximum cable length is exceeded and the device is not in bypass mode the GS1574A will not assert the CD pin even if a carrier is present. 33416 - 5 March 2006 12 of 16 GS1574A Data Sheet 5. Application Information 5.1 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 HD 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 GS1574A input components to minimize parasitic capacitance. • The PCB ground plane is removed under the GS1574A output components to minimize parasitic capacitance. • High speed traces are curved to minimize impedance changes. 5.2 Typical Application Circuit CD MUTE VCC VCC 13 VCC_D 1 MUTE 6.2n 1u 10n VEE_D VEE_A 2 SDO SDI 75 12 + 4u7 SDO 11 GS1574A 3 VEE_A 5 6 7 MCLADJ 37R4 BYPASS 4 75 SDO SDI AGC 1u AGC SDI 14 15 CD VCC_A 16 10n VEE_D 10 + SDO 9 4u7 8 MCLADJ 470n 470n BYPASS NOTE: All resistors in Ohms, capacitors in Farads, and inductors in Henrys, unless otherwise noted.
