Gennum GS2978
The GS2978 is a high-speed BiCMOS integrated circuit designed to drive one or two 75Ω co-axial cables. The GS2978 may drive data rates up to 2.97Gb/s and provides two selectable slew rates in order to achieve compliance to SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 292M. The GS2978 accepts a LVPECL level differential input that may be AC coupled.FEATURES
● SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 259M compliant● Dual coaxial cable driving outputs with selectable slew rate
● 50Ω differential PECL input
● Pb-free and RoHS compliant
● Seamless interface to other HD-LINX® III family products
● Single 3.3V power supply operation
● Operating temperature range: 0°C to 70°C
APPLICATIONS
● SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 259M Coaxial Cable Serial Digital Interfaces.DESCRIPTION
External biasing resistors at the inputs are not required. Power consumption is typically 168mW using a 3.3V power supply. The GS2978 is Pb-free, and the encapsulation compound does not contain halogenated flame retardant. This component and all homogeneous subcomponents are RoHS compliant.
