LMH0044 SMPTE 292M / 259M Adaptive Cable Equalizer General Description Features The LMH0044 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 125 Mbps to 1.485 Gbps and supports SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 259M. The LMH0044 implements DC restoration to correctly handle pathological data conditions (DC restoration may be bypassed for low data rate applications). The equalizer may be driven in either a single ended or differential configuration. Additional features include separate carrier detect and output mute pins which may be tied together to mute the output when no signal is present. A programmable mute reference is provided to mute the output at a selectable level of signal degradation. ■ SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 259M ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ compliant Supports DVB-ASI at 270 Mbps Data rates: 125 Mbps to 1.485 Gbps Equalizes up to 200 meters of Belden 1694A at 1.485 Gbps or up to 400 meters of Belden 1694A at 270 Mbps Manual bypass and output mute with a programmable threshold Single-ended or differential input 50Ω differential outputs Single 3.3V supply operation 208 mW typical power consumption with 3.3V supply Replaces the GS1574 and GS1574A Applications ■ SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 344M, and SMPTE 259M serial digital interfaces ■ Serial digital data equalization and reception ■ Data recovery equalization Typical Application 20177001 © 2009 National Semiconductor Corporation 201770 www.national.com LMH0044 SMPTE 292M / 259M Adaptive Cable Equalizer July 15, 2009 LMH0044 Absolute Maximum Ratings (Note 1) Supply Voltage Input Voltage (all inputs) Storage Temperature Range Junction Temperature Lead Temperature (Soldering 4 Sec) Package Thermal Resistance θJA 16-pin LLP θJC 16-pin LLP ESD Rating (HBM) ESD Rating (MM) Recommended Operating Conditions −0.5V to 3.6V −0.3V to VCC+0.3V −65°C to +150°C +150°C Supply Voltage (VCC – VEE) Input Coupling Capacitance AEC Capacitor (Connected between AEC+ and AEC-) Operating Free Air Temperature (TA) +260°C 3.3V ±5% 1.0 µF 1.0 µF 0°C to +85°C +43°C/W +9°C/W 8kV 250V DC Electrical Characteristics Over Supply Voltage and Operating Temperature ranges, unless otherwise specified (Notes 2, 3).

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 LMH0044 meets this specification on the SD044 evaluation board from 5 MHz to 1.5 GHz. 3 www.national.com LMH0044 Connection Diagram 20177003 The exposed die attach pad is a negative electrical terminal for this device.

To disable the mute function and enable the output, MUTE must be tied to GND or a low level signal. To force the outputs to a muted state, tie to VCC. CD may be tied to this pin to inhibit the output when no input signal is present. MUTE has no function in BYPASS mode. 15 CD Carrier detect. CD is high when no signal is present.

If MUTEREF is used, the carrier detect threshold will be altered accordingly. CD provides a high voltage when no signal is present at the LMH0044 input. CD is low when a valid input signal is detected. MUTE can be used to manually mute or enable SDO and SDO. Applying a high input to MUTE will mute the LMH0044 outputs. Applying a low input will force the outputs to be active. CD and MUTE may be tied together to automatically mute the output when no input signal is present. 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. The Carrier Detect / Mute block generates the carrier detect signal and controls the mute function of the output. This block utilizes the CD and MUTE signals along with Mute Reference (MUTEREF). The Output Driver produces SDO and SDO. INPUT INTERFACING The LMH0044 accepts either differential or single-ended input. The input must be AC coupled. Transformer coupling is not supported. The LMH0044 correctly handles equalizer pathological signals for standard definition and high definition serial digital video, as described in SMPTE RP 178 and RP 198, respectively. MUTE REFERENCE (MUTEREF) The mute reference sets the threshold for CD and (with CD tied to MUTE) 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 cable to equalize. As the applied MUTEREF voltage is increased, the amount of cable that can be equalized before carrier detect is de-asserted and the outputs are muted is decreased. MUTEREF may be left unconnected for maximum equalization before muting. OUTPUT INTERFACING The SDO and SDO outputs are internally loaded with 50Ω. They produce a 750 mVP-P differential output, or a 375 mVP-P single-ended output. 5 www.national.com LMH0044 Application Information PCB LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS Please refer to the following Application Note on National's website: AN-1372, “LMH0034 PCB Layout Techniques.” The PCB layout techniques in the application note apply to the LMH0044 as well.

The current is highest for short cable and decreases as the cable length is increased.
