SNLS545E March 2017 – July 2022 LMH1297
PRODUCTION DATA
The LMH1297 can be configured as a bidirectional I/O to improve BNC port function flexibility. In EQ mode, the LMH1297 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 LMH1297 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 loop-back output for system monitoring.
Figure 9-2 shows a typical application where an LMH1297 is used alongside an SDI FPGA to enable bidirectional I/O port functionality.
