JAJSHP9E November 2007 – July 2019 VCA824
PRODUCTION DATA.
A differential cable equalizer can easily be implemented using the VCA824. An example of a cable equalization for 100 feet of Belden Cable 1694F is illustrated in Figure 73, with Figure 72 showing the result for this implementation. This implementation has a maximum error of 0.2 dB from DC to 70 MHz.
Note that this implementation shows the cable attenuation side-by-side with the equalization in the same plot. For a given frequency, the equalization function realized with the VCA824 matches the cable attenuation. The circuit in Figure 73 is a driver circuit. To implement a receiver circuit, the signal is received differentially between the +VIN and –VIN inputs.
