Detailed Design Procedure

The design procedure for cable equalizer with loop-through applications is as follows:

  1. Select a power supply that meets the DC and AC requirements in Recommended Operating Conditions.
  2. Choose small 0402 surface mount ceramic capacitors for AC-coupling capacitors to maintain characteristic impedance.
  3. Choose a high-quality, 75Ω BNC connector that is capable of supporting 11.88Gbps applications. Consult a BNC supplier regarding insertion loss, impedance specifications, and recommended footprint for meeting SMPTE return loss.
  4. Follow detailed high-speed layout recommendations provided in Layout Guidelines to ensure optimal signal quality when interconnecting 75Ω and 100Ω signals to the LMH12x9.
  5. Determine whether SPI or SMBus communication is necessary. If the LMH12x9 must be programmed with settings other than what is offered by pin control, users must use SPI or SMBus mode for additional programming.
  6. Configure all two-level and four-level pins according to the desired use case. Note that pin settings can be overridden by register control.
  7. Tune the VOD_DE 100Ω driver control pin to equalize the PCB output trace following OUT0± and OUT1± (if used). Use register control for more tuning options if necessary.
  8. If SDI_OUT is used for diagnostic or cascade applications, tune the SDI_VOD output amplitude control pin for optimal signal quality depending on the cable length attached at SDI_OUT+. Use register control for more tuning options if necessary.
