Description
The GS2965 is a multi-rate serial digital reclocker designed to
automatically recover the embedded clock from a digital video
signal and retime the incoming video data. It will recover the
embedded clock signal and retime the data from a SMPTE 424M,
SMPTE 292M, or SMPTE 259M-C compliant digital video signal.
A serial host interface provides the ability to configure and
monitor multiple GS2965 devices in a daisy-chain configuration.
Adjustable input trace equalization (EQ) for up to 40” of FR4 trace
losses, and adjustable output de-emphasis (DE) for up to 20” of
FR4 trace losses, can be configured via the host interface.
The GS2965 can operate in either auto or manual rate selection
mode. In Auto mode, the device will automatically detect and lock
onto incoming SMPTE SDI data signals at any supported rate. For
single rate data systems, the GS2965 can be configured to operate
in Manual mode. In both modes, the device requires only one
external crystal to set the VCO frequency when not locked and
provides adjustment free operation.
The GS2965 accepts industry-standard differential input levels
including LVPECL and CML. The differential data and clock
outputs feature selectable output swing via the host interface,
ensuring compatibility with most industry-standard, terminated
differential receivers.
The GS2965 features dual differential outputs. The second output
can be configured to emit either the recovered clock signal or the
re-timed video data. This output can also be disabled to save
power.
In systems which require passing of non-SMPTE data rates, the
GS2965 can be configured to either automatically or manually
enter a bypass mode in order to pass the signal without reclocking.
The GS2965 is Pb-free, and the encapsulation compound does not
contain halogenated flame retardant. This component and all
homogeneous sub-components are RoHS compliant.
