General Description
Key Specifications
The LMH0040 family of products provide a very simple 5:1
serializer and transmitter function, intended to be paired with
an FPGA host which will format the data appropriately such
that the output of the LMH0040 will be compliant with the output requirements of DVB-ASI, SMPTE 259M, and SMPTE
292M. The LMH0340 adds support for SMPTE 424M, the
LMH0070 supports 270 Mbps operation only, and the
LMH0050 requires an external cable driver. Throughout this
document, if not explicitly stated, when the LMH0040 is referred to this includes all members of the family. The interface
between the LMH0040 and the FPGA consists of a 5 bit wide
LVDS bus, an LVDS clock and an SMBus interface. The
product is packaged in a physically small 48 pin LLP package.

high, then the four bit nibbles from TX0–TX3 are taken to form
an 8 bit word, which is then converted to a 10 bit code via an
internal 8b10b encoder and this 10 bit word is serialized and
driven on the output. The nibble taken in on the rising edge of
the clock is the most significant nibble and the nibble taken in
on the falling edge is the least significant nibble. If TX4+/TX4is low, then the input on TX0–TX3 are ignored and the 10b
idle character is inserted in the output stream.
Device Operation
The LMH0040 serializer is used in digital video signal origination equipment. It is intended to be operated in conjunction
with an FPGA host which preprocesses data for it, and then
provides this data over the five bit wide datapath. Provided
the host has properly formatted the data for the LMH0040, the
output of the device will be compliant with DVB-ASI, SMPTE
259M-C, SMPTE 292M or SMPTE 424M depending upon the
output mode selected.
DVB_ASI Mode
The LMH0040 has a special mode for DVB-ASI. In this mode,
the input signal on TX4+/TX4- is treated as a data valid bit, if
