3 Description
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 ST 424, ST 292, ST 344, ST 259, and DVB-
ASI standards(1).
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
users to program the output common-mode voltage
and swing, output de-emphasis level, input launch
amplitude, and power management settings. Users
may also access a cable length indicator and all pin
mode features.
