8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The following general design procedure is recommended:
- Select a suitable power supply voltage for the LMH0324. It can be powered from a single 2.5 V or 1.8 V supply. See Power Supply Recommendations for details.
- Check that the power supply meets the DC and AC requirements in the Recommended Operating Conditions.
- Select the proper pull-high or pull-low resistors for IN_OUT_SEL and OUT_CTRL for setting the signal path.
- If -6 dB launch amplitude or other expanded programmable features are needed, select the use of SPI or SMBus by setting the proper pull-high or pull-low resistor for the MODE_SEL pin.
- Choose a high quality 75-Ω BNC that is capable to support 2.97 Gbps applications. Consult a BNC supplier regarding insertion loss, impedance specifications, and recommended BNC footprint for meeting SMPTE return loss requirements.
- Depending on the length and insertion loss of the output traces for OUT0± and OUT1±, select the proper pull-high or pull-low resistors for VOD_DE to set the output amplitude and de-emphasis settings. Refer to Table 4 for details.
- Choose a small 0402 surface mount ceramic capacitors for the AC coupling and bypass capacitors.
- Use proper footprint for BNC and AC coupling capacitors. Anti-pads are commonly used in power and VSS planes under these landing pads to achieve optimum return loss.
