Description
The GS3140 is a high-speed BiCMOS device designed to
equalize and restore signals received over cable.
The device is designed to support SMPTE ST 424, SMPTE ST
292, SMPTE ST 259 and AES10 (MADI), and it is optimized
for performance at 125Mb/s, 270Mb/s, 1.485Gb/s, and
2.97Gb/s.
The device supports MADI serial signals at 125Mb/s with
peak-to-peak launch amplitude between 300mVppd and
600mVppd (with AES10 spec rise and fall times) and
800mVppd±10% (with SD-SDI rise and fall times).
The GS3140 features DC restoration to compensate for the
DC content of SMPTE pathological signals.
Loss of Signal (LOS) is detected when the input carrier is lost
or signal amplitude falls below a programmable threshold.
This is further processed by a filter programmable up to
1.6s before LOS status is asserted. The device can be
programmed to automatically sleep/mute/disable the
output on loss of signal.
An interrupt pin (INT) indicates LOS by default, and can be
programmed to signal various other statuses.
When the BYPASS control bit is set, the equalizing and DC
restore stages are disengaged. This is useful for signals
launched at the source with low data rates and/or slow rise
and fall times.
