SNOSDC1A June 2024 – October 2024 LMH1229 , LMH1239
PRODUCTION DATA
The LMH12x9 features cable fault detection to indicate when no cable is connected to the SDI_OUT+ output. Cable fault detection can determine a fault for up to 600m of Belden 1694A cable at SDI_OUT+. This feature allows a method for users to react to cable attachment and removal.
When SDI_OUT_SEL is enabled, the LMH12x9 senses the SDI_OUT+ amplitude. If the output is not properly terminated (through a terminated cable or local termination), the cable fault detection signal asserts. The cable fault detection signal deasserts when a proper 75Ω termination is applied.
If cable fault detection is used to power down the LMH12x9 through the ENABLE pin, periodic polling with the LMH12x9 momentarily powered up is recommended to monitor the SDI_OUT+ termination.
