Description

The GS9074A is a second-generation high speed BiCMOS

integrated circuit designed to equalize and restore signals

received over 75

co-axial cable

The GS9074A is designed to support SMPTE 259M, and is

optimized for performance at 270Mb/s.

The GS9074A features DC restoration to compensate for

the DC content of SMPTE pathological test patterns.

A voltage programmable mute threshold (MCLADJ) is

included to allow muting of the GS9074A output when an

approximate selected cable length is reached for SMPTE

259M signals. This feature allows the GS9074A to

distinguish between low amplitude SD-SDI signals and

noise at the input of the device. The serial digital outputs of

the GS9074A may be forced to a mute state by applying a

voltage to the MUTE pin.

Power consumption is typically 215mW using a 3.3V

power supply. The GS9074A is lead-free, and the

encapsulation compound does not contain halogenated

flame retardant (RoHS compliant).

6. Detailed Description

The GS9074A is a high speed BiCMOS IC designed to equalize serial digital signals.

The GS9074A can equalize SD serial digital signals, and will typically equalize greater

than 350m at 270Mb/s.

The GS9074A is powered from a single +3.3V power supply and consumes

approximately 215mW of power.

6.1 Serial Digital Inputs

The serial data signal may be connected to the input pins (SDI/SDI) in either a

differential or single ended configuration. AC coupling of the inputs is recommended, as

the SDI and SDI inputs are internally biased at approximately 1.8V.

6.2 Cable Equalization

The input signal passes through a variable gain equalizing stage whose frequency

response closely matches the inverse of the cable loss characteristic. In addition, the

variation of the frequency response with control voltage imitates the variation of the

inverse cable loss characteristic with cable length.

The edge energy of the equalized signal is monitored by a detector circuit which

produces an error signal corresponding to the difference between the desired edge

energy and the actual edge energy. This error signal is integrated by both an internal and

an external AGC filter capacitor providing a steady control voltage for the gain stage. As

the frequency response of the gain stage is automatically varied by the application of

negative feedback, the edge energy of the equalized signal is kept at a constant level

which is representative of the original edge energy at the transmitter. The equalized

signal is also DC restored, effectively restoring the logic threshold of the equalized signal

to its correct level independent of shifts due to AC coupling. The digital output signals

have a nominal voltage of 750mVpp differential, or 375mVpp single ended when

terminated with 50Ω as shown in Figure 6-1.

6.3 Programmable Mute Output

The GS9074A incorporates a programmable threshold output mute (MCLADJ).

In applications where there are multiple input channels using the GS9074A, it is

advantageous to have a programmable mute output to avoid signal crosstalk.

The output of the GS9074A can be muted when the input signal decreases below a

certain input level. This threshold is determined using the input voltage applied to the

MCLADJ pin. The MCLADJ pin may be left unconnected for applications where output

muting is not required.

This feature has been designed for use in applications such as routers where signal

crosstalk and circuit noise cause the equalizer to output erroneous data when no input

signal is present. The use of a Carrier Detect function with a fixed internal reference

does not solve this problem since the signal to noise ratio on the circuit board could be

significantly less than the default signal detection level set by the on chip reference.

NOTE: MCLADJ is only recommended for data rates up to 360Mb/s.

6.4 Mute and Carrier Detect

The GS9074A includes a MUTE input pin that allows the application interface to mute

the serial digital output at any time. Set the MUTE pin HIGH to mute SDO and SDO. In

this case, the outputs will mute regardless of the setting of the BYPASS pin.

A Carrier Detect output pin (CD) indicates the presence of a valid signal at the input of

the GS9074A. When CD is LOW, the device has detected a valid input on SDI and SDI.

When CD is HIGH, the device has not detected a valid input.

NOTE: CD will only detect loss of carrier for data rates greater than 19Mb/s.

The CD output pin may be connected directly to the MUTE input pin to enable automatic

muting of the GS9074A when no valid input signal has been detected.

NOTE: If the maximum cable length is exceeded and the device is not in bypass mode

the GS1574A will not assert the CD pin even if a carrier is present.
