9.2.2 Detail Design Procedure
The following general design procedure is recommended:
- Select a suitable power supply voltage for the LMH1219. See Power Supply Recommendations for details.
- Check that the power supply meets the DC and AC requirements in 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 Level-F or Level-L for MODE_SEL, respectively.
- Choose a high quality 75-Ω BNC that is capable of supporting 11.88 Gbps applications. Consult a BNC supplier regarding insertion loss, impedance specifications, and recommended footprint for meeting SMPTE return loss.
- 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 5 for details.
- Follow all design requirements detailed in Table 9 to optimize LMH1219 performance.
- For additional layout recommendations, refer to PCB Layout Guidelines.
