DETAILED DESCRIPTION
INPUT INTERFACING
SDI/SDI are high impedance differential inputs. Two
conditions must be observed when interfacing to these
inputs:
1. The input signal amplitude must be between 80mV and
1000mV.
2. The common mode voltage range must be as specified
in the DC Characteristics Table (page 2). For 800mV
input amplitude signals, this corresponds to a common
mode voltage range between 2.8 and 4.6 volts.
Figures 6 and 7 illustrate two methods of interfacing the
GS9029 to the Gennum GS9024 (Cable Equalizer), GS9035
(Reclocker) or the GS9025 (Receiver).
Figure 6 illustrates the simplest interface and is
recommended when the trace lengths between the driver
and the GS9029 are less than 0.5 in.
Fig. 6 Interfaces using Internal SDI Terminations
When trace lengths become longer than 0.5in. and data
rates greater than 360Mb/s, electromagnetic reflections
begin to affect signal integrity. To minimize reflections,
controlled impedance traces and source and end
terminations should be used as shown in Figure 7. Although
terminations on both sides reduce the signal swing by a
factor of two, the GS9029 is designed to meet this need
with ultra low input amplitude requirements (as low as
80mV).

Connected to AC Ground
The GS9029 can accept AC coupled input signals with no
extra configuration required.
OUTPUT INTERFACING
Figure 8 illustrates the recommended interface for ac
coupled outputs.
Fig. 8 Interfaces for AC Coupled Outputs
The termination resistor (R
T
) value should be equal to the
characteristic
impedance
impedance traces should be used for the outputs and the
termination resistors should be placed near the GS9029.
The inductor (L) and resistor (R) are used to optimize the
output return loss and are PCB dependent. Typically, R
equals the transmission line characteristic impedance and
L is approximately 8.2nH.

cable.
Controlled
OUTPUT AMPLITUDE ADJUSTMENT
The GS9029 outputs are adjustable from as low as 50mV to
as high as 1000 mV. The output amplitudes are set by the
R
SET0
and the R
SET1
resistors respectively. The relationship
between the approximate output amplitude (V
OUT
) and R
SET
is given by the equation below:
where Z
O
is in ohms and V
OUT
is in volts.
The minimum value of R
SET
is 43.2
. For 75
cable and
800mV output amplitudes, the value of R
SET
is 54.9
. Also,
note that the above formula assumes that the transmission
line is properly end terminated.
