Description
The GS6140 is a high-speed BiCMOS device designed to
equalize and restore signals received over cable.
The device is designed to support SMPTE ST 2081
(proposed), 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, 2.97Gb/s, and 5.94Gb/s.
The device supports MADI serial signals at 125Mb/s with
peak-to-peak launch amplitude between 300mV and
600mV (with AES10 spec rise and fall times) and
800mV±10% (with SD-SDI rise and fall times).
The GS6140 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.
The differential output can be DC-coupled to Semtech’s
reclockers and cable drivers, as well as industry-standard
