LMH0394
3G HD/SD SDI Low Power Extended Reach Adaptive Cable
Equalizer
General Description
Features
The LMH0394 3 Gbps HD/SD SDI Low Power Extended
Reach Adaptive Cable Equalizer is designed to equalize 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 2.97 Gbps and supports
SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 344M, SMPTE 259M,
and DVB-ASI standards.
The LMH0394 provides extended cable reach with improved
immunity to crosstalk and ultra low power consumption. The
equalizer includes active sensing circuitry that ensures robust
performance and enhanced immunity to variations in the input
signal launch amplitude. The output driver offers programmable de-emphasis for up to 40” of FR4 trace losses.
The LMH0394 includes power management to further reduce
power consumption when no input signal is present.
The LMH0394 supports two modes of operation. In pin mode,
the LMH0394 operates with control pins to set its operating
state, and is footprint compatible with the LMH0384,
LMH0344, and legacy SDI equalizers. In SPI mode, an optional SPI serial interface can be used to access and configure
multiple LMH0394 devices in a daisy-chain configuration.
This allows programming the output common mode voltage
and swing, output de-emphasis level, input launch amplitude,
and power management settings, as well as access to a cable
length indicator and all pin mode features.

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 Carrier Detect block generates the carrier detect signal
based on the SDI input and an adjustment from the Mute
Reference block.
The SPI Control block uses the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS
signals in SPI mode to control the SPI registers. SPI_EN selects between SPI mode and pin mode. In pin mode, SPI_EN
is driven logic low.
The Output Driver produces SDO and SDO.

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. The applied voltage must be greater than the
MUTEREF floating voltage (typically 1.3V) in order to change
the CD threshold. As the applied MUTEREF voltage is increased, the amount of cable that can be equalized before

AUTO SLEEP
The auto sleep mode allows the LMH0394 to power down
when no input signal is detected. If the AUTO SLEEP pin is
set high, the LMH0394 goes into a deep power save mode
when no signal is detected. The device powers on again once
an input signal is detected. The auto sleep functionality can
be turned off by setting AUTO SLEEP low or tying this pin to
ground. An additional auto sleep setting available in SPI mode
can be used to force the equalizer to power down regardless
of whether there is an input signal or not. Auto sleep has
precedence over mute and bypass modes.
In auto sleep mode, the time to power down the equalizer
when the input signal is removed is less than 200 µs and
should not have any impact on the system timing requirements. The device will wake up automatically once an input
signal is detected, and the delay between signal detection and
full functionality of the equalizer is negligible (about 5 ms). The
overall system will be limited only by the settling time constant
of the equalizer adaptation loop.
INPUT INTERFACING
The LMH0394 accepts either differential or single-ended input. The input must be AC coupled. The Typical Application
(Pin Mode) diagram on the front page shows the typical configuration for a single-ended input. The unused input must be
properly terminated as shown.
The LMH0394 can be optimized for different launch amplitudes via the SPI (see LAUNCH AMPLITUDE OPTIMIZATION in the SPI Register Access section).
The LMH0394 correctly handles equalizer pathological signals for standard definition and high definition serial digital
video, as described in SMPTE RP 178 and RP 198, respectively.
OUTPUT INTERFACING
SDO and SDO together are internally terminated 100Ω LVDS
outputs. These outputs can be DC coupled to most common
differential receivers.

www.ti.com
LMH0394
The default output common mode voltage (VOS) is 1.2V. The
output common mode voltage may be adjusted via the SPI in
200 mV increments, from 0.8V to 1.2V (see OUTPUT DRIVER ADJUSTMENTS AND DE-EMPHASIS SETTING in the
SPI Register Access section). When the output common
mode is supply referenced, the common mode voltage is
about 1.35V (for 700 mVP-P differential swing). This adjustable
output common mode voltage offers flexibility for interfacing
to many types of receivers.
The default differential output swing (VSSP-P) is 700 mVP-P.
The differential output swing may be adjusted via the SPI.
Valid options are 400, 600, 700, or 800 mVP-P (see OUTPUT
DRIVER ADJUSTMENTS AND DE-EMPHASIS SETTING in
the SPI Register Access section).
The LMH0394 output should be DC coupled to the input of
the receiving device where possible. 100Ω differential transmission lines should be used to connect between the
LMH0394 outputs and the input of the receiving device.
The LMH0394 output should not be DC coupled to CML inputs. If there are strong pullup resistors (i.e. 50Ω) at the
receiving device, AC coupling should be used. The value of
these AC-coupling capacitors should be large enough (typically 4.7 µF) to accommodate for the SD pathological video
pattern.
Figure 5 shows an example of a DC-coupled interface between the LMH0394 and LMH0346 SDI reclocker. The differential transmission line should be terminated with a 100Ω
resistor at the receiving device as shown. The resistor should
be placed as close as possible to the LMH0346 input. If desired, this network may be terminated with two 50Ω resistors
and a center-tap capacitor to ground in place of the single
100Ω resistor.
Figure 6 shows an example of a DC-coupled interface between the LMH0394 and LMH0356 SDI reclocker. The
LMH0356 inputs have internal 50Ω terminations (100Ω differential) to terminate the transmission line, so no additional
components are required.
The LMH0394 output driver is equipped with programmable
output de-emphasis to minimize inter-symbol interference
caused by the loss dispersion from driving signals across
PCB traces (see OUTPUT DRIVER ADJUSTMENTS AND
DE-EMPHASIS SETTING in the SPI Register Access section). De-emphasis works with all combinations of output
common mode voltage and output voltage swing settings to
support DC coupling to the receiving device.
CARRIER DETECT (CD) AND MUTE
Carrier detect CD indicates if a valid signal is present at the
LMH0394 input. This signal is logical OR operation of the internal energy detector and MUTEREF setting (if used). The
internal energy detector detects energy across different data
rates. If MUTEREF is used, the carrier detect threshold will be
altered accordingly. CD provides a high voltage when no signal is present at the LMH0394 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 LMH0394
outputs by forcing the output to a logic 1. Applying a low input
will force the outputs to be active.
In pin mode, CD and MUTE may be tied together to automatically mute the output when no input signal is present.

provides the requested read data (after 16 periods of SCK).
The MISO output is active when SS low, and tri-stated when
SS is high.
SPI Write
The SPI write is shown in Figure 2. The SPI write is 16 bits
long. The 16-bit MOSI payload consists of a “0” (write command), seven address bits, and eight data bits. The SS signal
is driven low, and the 16 bits are sent to the LMH0394's MOSI
input. After the SPI write, SS must return high. The prior SPI
command, address, and data shifted out on the MISO output
during the SPI write is shown as “Don't Care” on the MISO
output in Figure 2.
SPI Read
The SPI read is shown in Figure 3. The SPI read is 32 bits
long, consisting of a 16-bit read transaction followed by a 16bit dummy read transaction to shift out the read data on the
MISO output. The first 16-bit MOSI payload consists of a
“1” (read command), seven address bits, and eight “1”s which
are ignored. The second 16-bit MOSI payload consists of 16
“1”s which are ignored but necessary in order to shift out the
requested read data on the MISO output. The SS signal is
driven low, and the first 16 bits are sent to the LMH0394's
MOSI input. The prior SPI command, address, and data are
shifted out on the MISO output during the first 16-bit transaction, and are typically ignored (this is shown as “Don't Care”
on the MISO output in Figure 3. SS must return high and then
is driven low again before the second 16 bits (all “1”s) are sent
SPI Register Access
Setting SPI_EN high enables the optional SPI register access
mode. In SPI mode, the LMH0394 provides register access
to all of its features along with a cable length indicator, programmable output de-emphasis, programmable output common mode voltage and swing, digital MUTEREF, and launch
amplitude optimization. There are eight supported 8-bit registers in the device (see Table 1). The LMH0394 supports SPI
daisy-chaining among an unlimited number of LMH0394 devices. With SPI_EN set low, the device operates in pin mode
and is footprint compatible with the LMH0384, LMH0344,
LMH0044, and LMH0074.
SPI Transaction Overview
Each SPI transaction to a single device is 16-bits long. The
transaction is initiated by driving SS low, and completed by
returning SS high. The 16-bit MOSI payload consists of the
read/write command (“1” for reads and “0” for writes), the
seven address bits of the device register (MSB first), and the
eight data bits (MSB first). The LMH0394 MOSI input data is
latched on the rising edge of SCK, and the MISO output data
is sourced on the falling edge of SCK.
In order to facilitate daisy-chaining, the prior SPI command,
address, and data are shifted out on the MISO output as the
current command, address, and data are shifted in on the
MOSI input. For SPI writes, the MISO output is typically ignored as “Don't Care” data. For SPI reads, the MISO output

Each LMH0394 device is directly connected to the SCK and
SS pins on the host. However, only the first LMH0394 device
in the chain is connected to the host’s MOSI pin, and only the
last device in the chain is connected to the host’s MISO pin.
The MISO pin of each intermediate LMH0394 device in the
chain is connected to the MOSI pin of the next LMH0394 device, creating a serial shift register. This daisy-chain architecture is shown in Figure 7.
SPI Daisy-Chain Operation
The LMH0394 SPI controller supports daisy-chaining the serial data between an unlimited number of LMH0394 devices.
30101520
FIGURE 7. SPI Daisy Chain System Architecture
In a daisy-chain configuration of N LMH0394 devices, the host
conceptually sees a shift register of length 16xN. Therefore
the length of SPI transactions (as previously described) is
16xN bits, and SS must be asserted for 16xN clock cycles for
each SPI transaction.
SPI Daisy-Chain Write
Figure 8 shows the SPI daisy-chain write for a daisy-chain of
N devices. The SS signal is driven low and SCK is toggled for
16xN clocks. The 16xN bit MOSI payload (sent to Device 1 in
the daisy-chain) consists of the 16-bit SPI write data for Device N (the last device in the chain), followed by the write data
for Device N-1, Device N-2, etc., ending with the write data
for Device 1 (the first device in the chain). The 16-bit SPI write
data for each device consists of a “0” (write command), seven
address bits, and eight data bits. After the SPI daisy-chain
write, SS must return high and then the write occurs for all
devices in the daisy-chain.

but this data now includes the requested read data. The read
data is available on the MISO output during the second 8 bits
of the 16-bit dummy read transaction, as shown by D7-D0 in

a “1” (read command), seven address bits, and eight “1”s
(which are ignored). After the first 16xN bit transaction, SS
must return high (to latch the data) and then is driven low
again before the second 16xN bit transaction of all “1”s is sent
to the MOSI input. The requested read data is shifted out on
MISO starting with the data for Device N and ending with the
data for Device 1. After this transaction, SS must return high.
SPI Daisy-Chain Read
Figure 9 shows the SPI daisy-chain read for a daisy-chain of
N devices. The SPI daisy-chain read is 32xN bits long, consisting of 16xN bits for the read transaction followed by 16xN
bits for the dummy read transaction (all “1”s) to shift out the
read data on the MISO output. The SS signal is driven low
and SCK is toggled for 16xN clocks. The first 16xN bit MOSI
payload (sent to Device 1 in the daisy-chain) consists of the
16-bit SPI read data for Device N (the last device in the chain),
followed by the read data for Device N-1, Device N-2, etc.,

Figure 10 shows the two 48-bit SPI transactions required to
complete these tasks (the bits are shifted in left to right).
SPI Daisy-Chain Read and Write Example
The following example further clarifies LMH0394 SPI daisychain operation. Assume a daisy-chain of three LMH0394
devices (Device 1, Device 2, and Device 3), with Device 1 as
the first device in the chain and Device 3 as the last device in
the chain, as shown by the first three devices in Figure 7.
Since there are three devices in the daisy-chain, each SPI
transaction is 48-bits long.
This example shows an SPI operation combining SPI reads
and writes in order to accomplish the following three tasks:

of dummy reads with a known data value (such as 0x5A). For
an SPI daisy-chain of N LMH0394 devices, the known data
value will appear on the host's MISO pin after N+1 writes.
Assuming a daisy-chain of three LMH0394 devices, the result
of this operation is shown in Figure 11.

To calculate the Belden 1694A cable length (in meters) from
the CLI decimal value for 3G or HD input:
OUTPUT DRIVER ADJUSTMENTS AND DE-EMPHASIS
SETTING
The output driver swing (amplitude), offset voltage (common
mode voltage), and de-emphasis level are adjustable via SPI
register 01h.
The output swing is adjustable via bits [7:6] of SPI register
01h. The default value for these register bits is “10” for a peak
to peak differential output voltage of 700 mVP-P. The output
swing can be set for 400 mVP-P, 600 mVP-P , 700 mVP-P, or
800 mVP-P.
The offset voltage is adjustable via bits [5:4] of SPI register
01h. The default value for these register bits is “10” for an
output offset of 1.2V. The output common mode voltage may
be adjusted in 200 mV increments, from 0.8V to 1.2V. It can
be set to “11” for the maximum offset voltage. At this maximum offset voltage setting, the outputs are referenced to the
positive supply and the offset voltage is around 1.35V.
The output de-emphasis is turned on or off by bit 3 of SPI
register 01h, and the de-emphasis level is set by bits [2:1] of
SPI register 01h. The output de-emphasis level may be set
for 0 dB (for driving up to 10” FR4), 3 dB (for driving 10-20”
FR4), 5 dB (for driving 20-30” FR4), or 7 dB (for driving 30-40”
FR4).
To calculate the Belden 1694A cable length (in meters) from
the CLI decimal value for SD input:
Figure 12 shows typical CLI values vs. Belden 1694A cable
length. CLI is valid for Belden 1694A cable lengths of 0-200m
at 2.97 Gbps, 0-220m at 1.485 Gbps, and 0-400m at 270
Mbps. Note: Given the continuous adaptive nature of the
equalizer, this setting changes by some steps constantly.

LAUNCH AMPLITUDE OPTIMIZATION
The LMH0394 can compensate for attenuation of the input
signal prior to the equalizer. This compensation is useful for
applications with a passive splitter at the equalizer input or a
non-ideal input termination network, and is controlled by SPI
register 02h.
Bit 7 of SPI register 02h is used for the launch amplitude setting. At the default setting of “0”, the LMH0394 operates
normally and expects a launch amplitude of 800 mVP-P. Bit 7
may be set to “1” to optimize the LMH0394 for input signals
with 6 dB of attenuation (400 mVP-P).

CABLE LENGTH INDICATOR (CLI)
The cable length indicator (CLI) provides an indication of the
length of the cable attached to input. CLI is accessible via bits
[7:0] of SPI register 06h. The 8-bit setting ranges in decimal
value from 0 to 247 (“00000000” to “11110111” binary), corresponding to 0 to 400m of Belden 1694A cable. For 3G and
HD input, CLI is 1.25m per step. For SD input, CLI is 1.25m

LMH0394
In the second transaction, three dummy reads (each consisting of 16 “1”s) are shifted in, and the read data from Device 2
(with value 0x88) appears on MISO in the 25th through 32nd
clock cycles.
SPI Daisy-Chain Length Detection
A useful operation for the host may be to detect the length of
the daisy-chain. This is a simple matter of shifting in a series
LMH0394
capacitor connected between the AEC+ and AEC- pins as
commonly configured in legacy equalizers. This capacitor is
optional and not necessary for the LMH0394; the AEC+ and
AEC- pins may be left unconnected with no change in performance.)
Application Information
APPLICATION CIRCUIT (SPI MODE)
Figure 13 shows the application circuit for the LMH0394 in
SPI mode. (Note: The application circuit shows an external
30101517
FIGURE 13. Application Circuit (SPI Mode)
INTERFACING TO 3.3V SPI
The LMH0394 may be controlled via optional SPI register access. The LMH0394 SPI pins support 2.5V LVCMOS logic
levels and are compliant with JEDEC JESD8-5 (see DC Electrical Characteristics). Care must be taken when interfacing
the SPI pins to other voltage levels.
The 2.5V LMH0394 SPI pins may be interfaced to a 3.3V
compliant SPI host by using a voltage divider or level translator. One implementation is a simple resistive voltage divider
as shown in Figure 14.

PCB LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
For information on layout and soldering of the LLP package,
pease refer to the following application note: AN-1187,
“Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP).”
The SMPTE 424M, 292M, and 259M standards have stringent requirements for the input return loss of receivers, which
15
www.ti.com
LMH0394
essentially specify how closely the input must resemble a
75Ω network. Any non-idealities in the network between the
BNC and the equalizer will degrade the input return loss. Care
must be taken to minimize impedance discontinuities between the BNC and the equalizer to ensure that the characteristic impedance of this trace is 75Ω. Please consider the
following PCB recommendations:
• Use surface mount components, and use the smallest
components available. In addition, use the smallest size
component pads.
• Select trace widths that minimize the impedance
mismatch between the BNC and the equalizer.
• Select a board stack up that supports both 75Ω singleended traces and 100Ω loosely-coupled differential
traces.
• Place return loss components closest to the equalizer
input pins.
• Maintain symmetry on the complimentary signals.
• Route 100Ω traces uniformly (keep trace widths and trace
spacing uniform along the trace).
• Avoid sharp bends in the signal path; use 45° or radial
bends.
• Place bypass capacitors close to each power pin, and use
the shortest path to connect equalizer power and ground
pins to the respective power or ground planes.
• Remove ground plane under input/output components to
minimize parasitic capacitance.
CROSSTALK IMMUNITY
Single-ended SDI signals are susceptible to crosstalk and
good design practices should be employed to minimize its effects. Most crosstalk originates through capacitive coupling
from adjacent signals routed closely together via traces and
connectors. To reduce capacitive coupling, SDI signals
should be appropriately spaced apart or insulated from one
another. This can be accomplished by physically isolating
signal traces in the layout and by providing additional ground
pins between signal traces in connectors as necessary.
These techniques help to reduce crosstalk but do not eliminate it.
The LMH0394 was designed specifically with crosstalk in
mind and incorporates advanced circuit design techniques
that help to isolate and minimize the effects of cross-coupling
in high-density system designs. Lab evaluations and customer testimonials have shown other adaptive cable equalizers are much more susceptible to crosstalk, resulting in
significant cable reach degradation. The LMH0394’s enhanced design results in minimal degradation in cable reach
in the presence of crosstalk and overall superior immunity
against cross-coupling from neighboring channels.
