Device Operation
INPUT INTERFACING
The LMH0001 accepts either differential or single-ended in-
put. The inputs are self-biased, allowing for simple AC or DC
coupling. DC-coupled inputs must be kept within the specified
common-mode range. SDI and SDI are self-biased at ap-
proximately 2.1V with V_CC = 3.3V. Figure 1 shows the differ-
ential input stage for SDI and SDI.
OUTPUT INTERFACING
The LMH0001 uses current mode outputs. Single-ended out-
put levels are 800 mV_P-P into 75Ω AC-coupled coaxial cable
(with R_REF = 750Ω). Output level is controlled by the value of
the R_REF resistor connected between the R_REF pin and V_CC.
The R_REF resistor should be placed as close as possible to
the R_REF pin. In addition, the copper in the plane layers below
the R_REF network should be removed to minimize parasitic
capacitance.
