SNLS558C April 2017 – May 2020 LMH0397
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LMH0397 can be configured as a cable equalizer with loop-through output. In EQ Mode, the LMH0397 takes in SDI data at the SDI_IO adaptive cable equalizer input and outputs the reclocked SDI signal at OUT0. Meanwhile, a redundant reclocked loop-through SDI signal is output on SDI_OUT for system monitoring purposes.
Figure 30 shows a typical application of an LMH0397 as a cable loop-through device. In this example, the LMH0397 provides an SDI input to the SDI FPGA. Concurrently, the equalized and reclocked SDI_IO signal is sent to the loop-through SDI_OUT cable driver output. Meanwhile, the FPGA sends post-processed SDI data out on an LMH1218 cable driver with integrated reclocker.
