Product details
Overview
GS1535-CFUE3 from Gennum is a multi-rate SMPTE-compliant serial digital reclocker IC designed for HD/SD-SDI signal regeneration in broadcast video infrastructure. It supports 143–1485 Mb/s data rates including SMPTE 292M (1.485 Gb/s), 259M (270 Mb/s), and 344M, features on-chip 50Ω differential input/output termination, LVPECL-compatible outputs, and operates from a single 3.3V supply across 0°C to 70°C.
For engineers reviewing the GS1535-CFUE3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing performance metrics, functional pin mapping, and validated alternative options for SDI retiming systems requiring jitter cleanup, rate adaptation, and seamless integration with GS1528 cable drivers.
Technical Context
The GS1535-CFUE3 implements a Slew-Rate Phase-Locked Loop (S-PLL) architecture with dual acquisition loops: a Frequency Acquisition (FA) loop for rapid lock detection across seven standard SDI/ASI rates, and a Phase Acquisition (PA) loop for precise jitter suppression during locked operation. Its ring oscillator VCO is factory-trimmed and programmable via dividers to cover all target rates without external tuning.
It integrates a 4:1 differential input multiplexer with on-chip 50Ω termination per channel, configurable auto/manual rate selection via AUTO/MAN and SS[2:0], and dedicated control pins (BYPASS, AUTOBYPASS, ASI/177, DDO_MUTE) enabling dynamic bypass, DVB-ASI mode exclusion, and output muting - all coordinated by internal logic that interfaces directly with GS1528 slew-rate drivers via SD/HD signaling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rates | 143, 177, 270, 360, 540, 1483.5, 1485 Mb/s - covers SMPTE 259M/292M/344M and DVB-ASI standards |
| Input Jitter Tolerance | 0.8 UI worst-case - ensures reliable lock under high-jitter SDI sources like long coax runs |
| Output Additive Jitter | 0.02–0.13 UI (rate-dependent) - enables clean re-timed signals meeting SMPTE eye mask requirements |
| Lock Time (Sync) | 0.16–0.29 µs - allows sub-microsecond recovery after signal interruption in live production |
| Supply Voltage | 3.135–3.465 V - single 3.3V rail simplifies power design and matches LQFP thermal profile |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial broadcast equipment enclosures without forced cooling |
| Package | 64-pin LQFP (10 mm × 10 mm) - JEDEC MS026 compliant, Pb-free/Green certified (E3 suffix) |
Pinout & Package
GS1535-CFUE3 uses a 64-pin LQFP package (JEDEC MS026, 10 mm × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are validated per Gennum DS18557-8 Rev. 8 (Feb 2005), including dedicated power domains (VCC_VCO, VCC_DDO, VCC_CP), differential I/O pairs (DDI0–DDI3, DDO), and control logic (AUTO/MAN, BYPASS, ASI/177).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DDI0–DDI3 (±) | Differential Serial Input Pairs | Four independent SDI/ASI input channels with on-chip 50Ω termination; selected via DDI_SEL[1:0] |
| DDO/DDO (±) | Differential Serial Output Pair | LVPECL-compatible retimed output; 1600 mVp-p into 100Ω, with DDO_VTT for termination bias |
| AUTO/MAN | Mode Control Input | High = auto-detect rate (SS[2:0] become outputs); Low = manual rate selection (SS[2:0] become inputs) |
| LD | Lock Detect Output | Active-HIGH signal confirms PLL lock; used for system status monitoring and fault handling |
| SD/HD | Standard Indication Output | Low = HD (1.485 Gb/s); High = SD (≤540 Mb/s); drives GS1528 slew-rate selection directly |
| ASI/177 | Rate Exclusion Input | High disables 177 Mb/s search to prevent false lock on DVB-ASI idle patterns (K28.5 harmonics) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Slew-Rate PLL Architecture | Non-linear ramp-phase response enables stable loop bandwidth independent of input transition density - critical for pathological SDI patterns |
| On-Chip Termination | Integrated 50Ω resistors per differential input/output pair eliminate external termination components and reduce board space |
| Auto Bypass on Loss-of-Lock | AUTOBYPASS pin enables transparent signal pass-through when PLL unlocks - maintains video continuity during transient interruptions |
| Configurable Mute/Bypass Logic | DDO_MUTE forces output mute only during active reclocking; no effect in bypass - prevents spurious output during mode transitions |
| Crystal Reference Interface | 14.140 MHz ±50 ppm XTAL+/- input stabilizes VCO center frequency; enables fast synchronous re-lock after signal dropout |
Applications
| Broadcast Video Routing Switcher | HDTV Camera Back-End Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial digital reclocking applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GS1534-CFUE3 | Single-input (1:1) variant; lacks 4:1 mux, DDI_SEL, and SD/HD output; identical PLL, jitter specs, and pin-compatible footprint | No multi-source switching or GS1528 slew-rate coordination; suitable only for point-to-point reclock paths | Select when system requires only one SDI input and simpler control logic - reduces BOM count but sacrifices flexibility |
| LMH0344SQ/NOPB | TI device with integrated cable equalizer; supports same SDI rates but uses CML outputs and different power domains (2.5V core + 3.3V I/O) | Enables longer cable reach without external equalization; requires separate 2.5V rail and layout changes for CML termination | Choose when coax run exceeds 100m and equalization is needed - adds functionality but increases power complexity and layout constraints |
Compared with GS1535-CFUE3, GS1534-CFUE3 removes input multiplexing and standard indication to simplify design for fixed-rate links, while LMH0344SQ/NOPB trades off standalone reclocking purity for integrated equalization - making GS1535-CFUE3 optimal for flexible, multi-source broadcast routing where jitter cleanup and GS1528 interoperability are primary goals.

FAQ
What data rates does the GS1535-CFUE3 support, and how is rate selection handled?
The GS1535-CFUE3 supports 143, 177, 270, 360, 540, 1483.5, and 1485 Mb/s - covering SMPTE 259M, 292M, and 344M standards plus DVB-ASI. Rate selection is configurable via AUTO/MAN pin: in Auto mode, it detects incoming rate and reports via SS[2:0] outputs; in Manual mode, SS[2:0] serve as inputs to force a specific rate. The ASI/177 pin disables 177 Mb/s detection to prevent false lock on DVB-ASI idle patterns.
How does the GS1535-CFUE3 handle loss of lock, and what is the role of AUTOBYPASS?
When the GS1535-CFUE3 loses PLL lock, the LD output goes LOW. If AUTOBYPASS is asserted HIGH, the device automatically enters bypass mode - passing input data directly to DDO/DDO outputs without reclocking. This preserves signal continuity during transient interruptions. BYPASS pin provides manual override: when HIGH, it forces bypass regardless of lock status or AUTOBYPASS state, ensuring deterministic fail-safe behavior in mission-critical video paths.
What is the function of the SD/HD output pin on the GS1535-CFUE3, and how is it used?
The SD/HD pin on the GS1535-CFUE3 is an open-drain logic output indicating locked standard: LOW for HD rates (1.485 Gb/s or 1.485/1.001 Gb/s), HIGH for SD rates (143–540 Mb/s). Its primary design purpose is to control the slew rate of the companion GS1528 Dual Slew-Rate Cable Driver - enabling optimized drive strength matching for SD vs. HD cable lengths and impedance profiles without external logic.
Does the GS1535-CFUE3 require external termination resistors for its differential I/Os?
No - the GS1535-CFUE3 integrates on-chip 50Ω termination resistors for all differential inputs (DDI0–DDI3) and outputs (DDO/DDO). Each input pair connects to a center-tap pin (e.g., DDI0_VTT) where a 10 nF capacitor to ground completes the termination network. For outputs, DDO_VTT serves the same purpose. This eliminates discrete termination components, reduces PCB area, and ensures consistent 50Ω matching across temperature and process variation.
What crystal frequency is required for the GS1535-CFUE3, and why is tolerance critical?
The GS1535-CFUE3 requires a 14.140 MHz ±50 ppm fundamental-mode crystal connected to XTAL+/XTAL−. This reference stabilizes the VCO center frequency during unlock and enables fast synchronous re-lock after signal dropout. Tight tolerance ensures the FA loop maintains accurate frequency comparison across voltage and temperature - deviations beyond ±50 ppm risk extended lock times or failure to acquire valid SDI rates, especially at 1485 Mb/s where VCO division ratios are most sensitive.
