APPLICATIONS
SMPTE 259M Coaxial Cable Serial Digital Interfaces
DESCRIPTION
The GS9064 is a second-generation high-speed bipolar
integrated circuit designed to equalize and restore signals
received over 75Ω co-axial cable at data rates from
143Mb/s up to 540Mb/s. The GS9064 is designed to
support SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 259M and is optimized
for performance at 270Mb/s.
The GS9064 features DC restoration to compensate for the
DC content of SMPTE pathological test patterns, and
incorporates a Cable Length Indicator (CLI) that provides a
linear indication of the amount of cable being equalized.
A voltage programmable mute threshold (MCLADJ) is
included to allow muting of the GS9064 output when a
selected cable length is reached. This feature allows the
GS9064 to distinguish between low amplitude SDI signals
and noise at the input of the device. The CD/MUTE pin
provides an indication of the GS9064 mute status in
addition to functioning as a mute control input. The output
of the GS9064 may be forced to an active or a mute
condition by applying a voltage to the CD/MUTE pin.

GS9064
3. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The GS9064 is a high speed bipolar IC designed to
equalize SD serial digital signals. The device can typically
equalize 350 meters of Belden
1694A cable
at 270Mb/s.
Powered from a single +3.3V or -3.3V power supply, the
device consumes approximately 240mW of power.
3.1 SERIAL DIGITAL INPUT
The SD serial digital input 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 +1.8 volts.
3.2 AUTOMATIC 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 vari-
ation 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 restor-
ing 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 differen-
tial, or 375mVpp single ended when terminated with 50Ω as
shown below in Figure 13.
Figure 15 Typical Output Voltage Levels
3.3 CABLE LENGTH INDICATION & CARRIER
DETECT/MUTE
The GS9064 incorporates an analog cable length indicator
(CLI) output and a programmable threshold output mute
(MCLADJ). In addition, a multi-function CD/MUTE pin allows
control of the GS9064 MUTE functionality for SD inputs.
3.3.1 Cable Length Indicator
The voltage output of the CLI pin is a representation of the
amount of cable present at the inputs of the device. Figure
8 shows the CLI voltage versus cable length (signal
strength). At 270Mb/s with no cable length and 800mV input
signal levels, the CLI output voltage is approximately 2.5V.
As the cable length is increased, the CLI voltage
decreases, thereby providing an approximate correlation
between the CLI voltage and cable length
3.3.2 Programmable Mute Threshold
A voltage programmable mute threshold (MCLADJ) is
included to allow muting of the GS9064 output when a
selected cable length is reached. This feature allows the
device to distinguish between low amplitude SDI signals
and noise at its input.
Figure 10 shows the relationship between the voltage
applied to the MCLADJ pin and the input cable length
accepted by the GS9064. For consistent accurate results
this may need to be calibrated for each device. 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 actually 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 and CLI are only recommended for data
rates up to 360 Mb/s.
3.3.3 Carrier Detect/Mute
Applying a HIGH INPUT to the CD/Mute pin forces the
GS9064 outputs to a muted condition. See the DC Electrical
Characteristics table for voltage levels. In this condition the
outputs are latched to the last logic level present at the
output to avoid signal crosstalk.
Applying a LOW INPUT to the CD/Mute pin will force the
GS9064 outputs to remain active regardless of input cable
length or the voltage applied to the MCLADJ pin. See the DC
Electrical Characteristics table for voltage levels.

When used as an OUTPUT, the CD/Mute pin will provide an
indication of the output mute status. The CD/Mute voltage
will fall to below 1.2V when the carrier is present and the
data outputs are active.
NOTE: The CD/Mute pin is not functional in BYPASS mode.
4. APPLICATION REFERENCE DESIGN
4.1 PCB LAYOUT
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:
1. The PCB ground plane is removed under the GS9064
input AND output components to minimize parasitic
capacitance.
2. High speed traces are curved to minimize impedance
changes.
