3. Detailed Description
3.1 Input Interfacing
S
DI/SDI are high-impedance differential inpu
ts (see Figure 2-1 for equivalent input
circuit).
Several conditions must be observed when interfacing to these inputs:
1. The differential input signal amplitude must be between 300 and 2000mVpp.
2. The common mode voltage range must be as specified in Table 1-1: DC Electrical
Characteristics.
3. For input trace lengths longer than approximately 1cm, the inputs should be
terminated as shown in the Typical Application Circuit.
The GS1528 inputs are self-biased, allowing for simple AC-coupling to the device. For
serial digital video, a minimum capacitor value of 4.7μF should be used to allow
coupling of pathological test signals. A tantalum capacitor is recommended.
3.2 SD/HD
The GS1528 SDO rise and fall times can be set to comply with both SMPTE 259M/344M
and SMPTE 292M. For all SMPTE 259M standards, or any data rate that requires longer
rise and fall time characteristics, the SD/HD pin must be set to a HIGH INPUT. For SMPTE
292M standards and signals which require faster rise and fall times, this pin should be
set to a LOW INPUT.
3.3 Output Interfacing
The GS1528 outputs are current mode, and will drive 800mV into a 75Ω load. These
outputs are protected from accidental static damage with internal static protection
diodes.
The SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 259M standards requires that the output of
a cable driver have a source impedance of 75Ω and a return loss of at least 15dB between
5MHz and 1.485GHz.
In order for an SDI output circuit using the GS1528 to meet this specification, the output
circuit shown in the Typical Application Circuit is recommended.
The value of L
COMP
will vary depending on the PCB layout, with a typical value of 5.6nH
(see the Application Information on page 11 in this data sheet for further details). A
4.7μF capacitor is used for AC-coupling the output of the GS1528. This value is chosen
to ensure that pathological signals can be coupled without a significant DC component
occurring.

Figure 3-2: Output signal for 1.485Gb/s input
When measuring return loss at the GS1528 output, it is necessary to take the
measurement for both a logic high and a logic low output condition. This is because the
output protection diodes act as varactors (voltage controlled capacitors) as shown in
Figure 3-3.
Consequently, the output capacitance of the GS1528 is dependent on the logic state of
the output.

3.4 Output Return Loss Measurement
To perform a practical return loss measurement, it is necessary to force the GS1528
output to a DC high or low condition. The actual measured return loss will be based on
the outputs being static at VCC or VCC-1.6V. Under normal operating conditions the
outputs of the GS1528 swing between VCC-0.4V and VCC-1.2V, so the measured value of
return loss will not represent the actual operating return loss.
A simple method of calculating the values of actual operating return loss is to interpolate
the two return loss measurements. In this way, the values of return loss are estimated at
VCC-0.4V and VCC-1.2V based on the measurements at VCC and VCC-1.6V.
The two values of return loss (high and low) will typically differ by several decibels. If
the measured return loss is RH for logic high and RL for logic low, then the two values can
be interpolated as follows:
RIH = RH - (RH-RL)/4 and
RIL = RL + (RH-RL)/4
Where RIH is the interpolated logic high value and RIL is the interpolated logic low value.
For example: if RH = -18dB and RL = -14dB, then the interpolated values are RIH = -17dB
and RIL = -15dB.

3.5 Output Amplitude Adjustment
The output amplitude of the GS1528 can be adjusted by changing the value of the RSET
resistor as shown in Figure 3-4 and Table 3-1. For an 800mVp-p output with a nominal
±7% tolerance, a value of 750Ω is required. A ±1% SMT resistor should be used.
Figure 3-4: Output Amplitude Adjustment
The RSET resistor is part of the high-speed output circuit of the GS1528. The resistor
should be placed as close as possible to the RSET pin. In addition, the PCB capacitance
should be minimized at this node by removing the PCB ground plane beneath the RSET
resistor and the RSET pin.
NOTE: For reliable operation of the GS1528 over the full temperature range, do not use
an RSET value below 573Ω.

4. Application Information
4.1 PCB Layout
Special attention must be paid to component layout when designing serial digital
interfaces for HDTV. An FR-4 dielectric can be used, however, controlled impedance
transmission lines are required for PCB traces longer than approximately 1cm. Note the
following PCB artwork features used to optimize performance:
The PCB trace width for HD rate signals is closely matched to SMT component
width to minimize reflections due to changes in trace impedance
The PCB groundplane is removed under the GS1528 output components to
minimize parasitic capacitance
The PCB ground plane is removed under the GS1528 RSET pin and resistor to
minimize parasitic capacitance
Input and output BNC connectors are surface-mounted in-line to eliminate
transmission line stubs caused by a BNC mounting via high-speed traces, which are
curved to minimize impedance variations due to change of PCB trace width
