SNLS558C April 2017 – May 2020 LMH0397
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LMH0397 can be configured as a bidirectional I/O to improve BNC port function flexibility. In EQ Mode, the LMH0397 equalizes 75-Ω SDI input data at SDI_IO and outputs from OUT0 to an FPGA Rx. SDI_OUT is used as an optional loop-through SDI output. In CD Mode, the LMH0397 equalizes 100-Ω SDI input data at IN0 and uses the dual cable drivers at SDI_IO and SDI_OUT to drive out the SDI signal. OUT0 can be used as a loopback output for system monitoring.
Figure 21 shows a typical application where an LMH0397 is used alongside an SDI FPGA to enable bidirectional I/O port functionality.
