M21528

3G/HD/SD-SDI Low Power Dual SDI Cable Driver


Overview

Description

The M21528 is a very low power, highly integrated, dual cable driver for SMPTE compliant digital video applications. It can drive 2 pairs of 75Ω coaxial cables, or 50Ω equivalent loads, at SDI data rates from 143 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps. The device is capable of outputting SDI signals with jitter values of less than 20 ps p-p, when operating at 2.97 Gbps.

The dual cable driver includes a 2x2 input crosspoint and integrated input and output termination resistors. The M21528, with input equalization for up to 40" of FR4 trace in addition to two connectors and exceptional Output Return Loss (ORL), is ideal for, high speed, 3G-SDI, designs.

The device features integrated supply regulators, allowing it to be powered from 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V supply voltages. When operating at 1.8V, it consumes only 40mW per channel at 2.97Gbps. Furthermore, the power rails for the input and output circuitry are electrically isolated on-chip and as such may be connected to different voltage rails on the board. This feature enables the M21528 to be DC coupled to any upstream device in the 1.2V to 3.3V range.
