Cable equalizer features:
Description
Improved reach with stress patterns
The GS12341 is a low-power, multi-rate reclocking Cable Equalizer
supporting rates up to 12G UHD-SDI. It is designed to equalize and
restore signals received over 80 meters coaxial cable at 12G,
compensate for DC content of SMPTE pathological signals, and
reclock the incoming data.
Automatic power down on loss of signal
Programmable carrier detect with squelch threshold
adjustment
Programmable launch swing compensation for
non-compliant source
The integrated eye monitor provides non-disruptive mission
mode analysis of the post equalized input signal. The 256x128
resolution scan matrix allows accurate signal analysis to speed up
prototyping and enable field analysis.
Built in macros enable customizable cross section analysis and
quick horizontal and vertical eye opening measurements.
With high phase consistency between scans and configurable
space and time thresholds, algorithms can be deployed in the
field to analyse long term signal quality variation (Bathtub Plot) to
reduce costly system installation debug time for intermittent
errors.
The two independently controlled trace drivers feature highly
configurable pre-emphasis and swing controls to compensate for
long trace and connector losses. The pre-emphasis pulse width
can be optimized to compensate for perturbations to frequency
response of transmission lines due to vias connectors and stubs.
The GS12341 is pin compatible with the GS12241 and GS12141
single input, and GS12142 dual input, 12G UHD-SDI Multi-rate
Reclocking Cable Equalizers. It is also pin compatible with the
GS3241 3G-SDI Multi-rate Reclocking Cable Equalizer.
Manual and automatic cable equalizer bypass
Trace driver features:
Integrated 100Ω, differential output termination
Extends output DC-coupling support with 1.2V to 2.5V
output supply range
Trace driver data output pre-emphasis to compensate for
up to 20”FR4 at 11.88Gb/s
Manual or automatic reclocker bypass
Manual or automatic mute or disable on LOS
Reclocker features:
Manual or automatic rate modes
Wide Loop bandwidth control
Reclocking at the following data rates: 125Mb/s, 270Mb/s,
1.485Gb/s, 2.97Gb/s, 5.94Gb/s, and 11.88Gb/s—this
includes the f/1.001 rates
Note: For the GS12341 to be pin compatible with the GS12142,
careful design considerations are required. Contact for your local
Semtech FAE for details.
