6.1 Overview

The LMH12x9 is TI's second generation long-reach 12G UHD-SDI adaptive cable equalizer with integrated reclocker, supporting all SMPTE video rates up to 11.88Gbps. The LMH12x9 has a 75Ω cable equalizer input capable of equalizing up to 100m Belden 1694A cable.

The 75Ω cable equalizer input features an internal 75Ω termination and compensation network to meet stringent SMPTE return loss requirements. The 75Ω cable equalizer input passes through a multi-rate reclocker with a programmable loop filter.

The on-chip reclocker attenuates high-frequency jitter and fully regenerates the data using a clean, low-jitter clock. The reclocker has a built-in loop filter and does not require any input reference clock. The LMH12x9 also has an internal eye opening monitor and a programmable pin for CDR lock indication, input carrier detect, or hardware interrupts to support system diagnostics and board bring-up.

After the reclocker is a 1:3 fan-out mux. Two of the outputs are 100Ω drivers with de-emphasis for PCB routing of data or clock signals, while the third output is a 75Ω driver with pre-emphasis for reclocked SDI loop-through data in cascaded applications.

The LMH12x9 is offered in a 5mm × 5mm 32-pin WQFN package with two pinout variants:

  • LMH1229: Pin-to-pin drop-in replacement for LMH1297 12G-SDI Bidirectional I/O (Equalizer mode)

  • LMH1239: Unique pinout with additional 2:1 75Ω input mux included for system redundancy

The LMH12x9 is powered from a single 2.5V supply with an on-chip 1.8V LDO regulator. The operating state of the LMH12x9 can be configured through control pins, SPI, or SMBus serial control interface. In the absence of an input signal, the LMH12x9 automatically goes into Power Save mode. Users can also manually force the LMH12x9 into Power Save mode through the ENABLE control pin. The LMH1297 is offered in a small 5mm × 5mm, 32-pin QFN package.
