Product details
Overview
GS1535-CFUE3-LOS from Gennum is a multi-rate SMPTE-compliant serial digital reclocker IC designed to recover embedded clock and retime SD/HD-SDI video signals. It supports 143–1485 Mb/s data rates including SMPTE 292M (1.485 Gb/s), 259M (270 Mb/s), 344M, and DVB-ASI (270 Mb/s), features on-chip 50Ω differential input/output termination, and operates from a single 3.3V supply across 0°C to 70°C.
For engineers reviewing the GS1535-CFUE3-LOS datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing role definitions, confirmed pin functions, and validated alternative options for broadcast infrastructure design.
Technical Context
The GS1535-CFUE3-LOS implements a Slew-Rate Phase-Locked Loop (S-PLL) architecture with dual acquisition loops: a Frequency Acquisition (FA) loop for initial lock and a Phase Acquisition (PA) loop for jitter tracking. Its ring oscillator VCO is factory-trimmed to cover all SD/HD rates across voltage and temperature.
It integrates a 4:1 differential input multiplexer with on-chip 50Ω termination per channel, LVPECL-compatible outputs, and configurable bypass/mute logic. Lock detection (LD), SD/HD rate indication, and bi-directional SS[2:0] status pins provide real-time system feedback without external monitoring circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rates | 143, 177, 270, 360, 540, 1483.5, 1485 Mb/s - covers full SMPTE 259M/292M/344M and DVB-ASI standards. |
| Input Jitter Tolerance | 0.8 UI worst-case - ensures reliable lock under high-jitter cable-received SDI signals. |
| Output Additive Jitter | 0.02–0.13 UI (rate-dependent) - enables clean retiming for cascaded distribution or long-haul transmission. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.135–3.465 V - single 3.3V rail with ±5% tolerance simplifies power design in broadcast equipment. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade broadcast encoders, routers, and monitors. |
| Package | 64-pin LQFP (10 mm × 10 mm) - surface-mount compatible with standard PCB assembly processes. |
| Termination | On-chip 50Ω differential input/output - eliminates need for external resistors and reduces board space. |
Pinout & Package
GS1535-CFUE3-LOS is housed in a 64-pin LQFP package (JEDEC MS026, 10 mm × 10 mm) with exposed thermal pad. Pin assignments follow Gennum's standardized layout for HD-LINX II™ reclockers, supporting drop-in compatibility within Gennum's ecosystem.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DDI0–DDI3 (pairs) | Differential Serial Input Channels | Four independent SMPTE-compliant inputs; selected via DDI_SEL[1:0]; each with internal 50Ω termination to DDI_VTT. |
| DDO/DDO | Differential Serial Output | LVPECL-compatible retimed output; 1600 mVp-p differential swing into 100Ω; terminated via DDO_VTT. |
| AUTO/MAN | Mode Control Input | High = auto-detect mode (searches all supported rates); Low = manual mode (SS[2:0] sets fixed rate). |
| LD | Lock Detect Output | Active-HIGH signal confirms PLL lock; used for system status monitoring and failover control. |
| SD/HD | Rate Indication Output | Low = HD rate (1.485 Gb/s); High = SD rate (≤540 Mb/s); drives GS1528 slew-rate selection directly. |
| BYPASS / AUTOBYPASS | Bypass Control Inputs | BYPASS overrides AUTOBYPASS; both force transparent signal pass-through when PLL is unlocked or disabled. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SMPTE 292M/259M/344M compliance | Fully compliant with broadcast industry timing and electrical standards - enables drop-in integration into certified SDI infrastructure. |
| Auto/manual rate selection | Eliminates firmware dependency for rate detection; auto mode locks in ≤10 ms, manual mode fixes rate for deterministic latency. |
| On-chip 50Ω termination | Reduces BOM count by 8 resistors per channel and improves impedance matching stability over temperature and process variation. |
| Configurable mute/bypass behavior | DDO_MUTE silences output during lock loss without disrupting signal path; AUTOBYPASS maintains continuity during transient unlock events. |
| DVB-ASI support with ASI/177 pin | Disables false 177 Mb/s lock on K28.5 idle patterns - prevents mislock in ASI transport stream applications. |
Applications
| Broadcast Video Router | HD-SDI Distribution Amplifier |

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) reclocker; no 4:1 mux; identical rate support and jitter performance. | Limited to point-to-point reclocking; unsuitable for multi-source routing or MUX-based systems. | Select when only one SDI source requires cleaning and board space is constrained. |
| LMH0384SQ/NOPB | Texas Instruments HD-SDI reclocker; supports 143–2970 Mb/s; includes integrated cable equalization. | Higher max rate (2.97 Gb/s) and built-in equalizer; no native DVB-ASI mode or ASI/177 pin. | Prefer for UHD/3G-SDI systems or where input signal degradation exceeds GS1535-CFUE3-LOS input sensitivity. |
Compared with GS1535-CFUE3-LOS, GS1534-CFUE3 reduces channel count but retains identical jitter cleanup capability, while LMH0384SQ/NOPB extends bandwidth and adds equalization at the cost of DVB-ASI-specific lock reliability and Gennum ecosystem interoperability.

FAQ
What data rates does the GS1535-CFUE3-LOS support?
The GS1535-CFUE3-LOS supports 143, 177, 270, 360, 540, 1483.5, and 1485 Mb/s - covering SMPTE 259M (SD), 292M (HD), 344M (dual-link HD), and DVB-ASI (270 Mb/s). Rate selection is automatic or manual via AUTO/MAN and SS[2:0] pins. The GS1535-CFUE3-LOS achieves lock in ≤10 ms in auto mode and maintains <0.13 UI additive jitter at 1485 Mb/s.
How does the GS1535-CFUE3-LOS handle DVB-ASI signals without false locking?
The GS1535-CFUE3-LOS uses the ASI/177 pin to disable 177 Mb/s detection during auto-rate search, preventing false lock on K28.5 idle pattern harmonics common in DVB-ASI transport streams. When ASI/177 is HIGH, the GS1535-CFUE3-LOS locks only to 270 Mb/s for ASI, ensuring stable operation without manual intervention or firmware tuning.
What is the function of the SD/HD output pin on the GS1535-CFUE3-LOS?
The SD/HD pin on the GS1535-CFUE3-LOS is an active-low indicator: LOW signifies lock at HD rates (1.485 Gb/s or 1.485/1.001 Gb/s), HIGH indicates SD rates (143–540 Mb/s). It directly controls the slew rate of the companion GS1528 cable driver, enabling dynamic signal integrity optimization based on detected video format - a key feature of the GS1535-CFUE3-LOS in mixed-format systems.
Can the GS1535-CFUE3-LOS operate without an external crystal?
No - the GS1535-CFUE3-LOS requires a 14.140 MHz ±50 ppm crystal connected to XTAL+/XTAL− pins for VCO centering and frequency acquisition. This crystal enables fast synchronous lock recovery after interruptions and stabilizes the PLL across temperature and voltage. The GO1535 crystal module from Gennum is specified for optimal GS1535-CFUE3-LOS performance.
What is the purpose of the DDO_MUTE pin on the GS1535-CFUE3-LOS?
The DDO_MUTE pin on the GS1535-CFUE3-LOS forces the retimed DDO/DDO outputs to a high-impedance muted state when LOW - but only during active reclocking (i.e., when LD = HIGH and bypass is disabled). It has no effect in BYPASS or AUTOBYPASS modes. This allows controlled blanking of outputs during system initialization or fault conditions without disrupting the signal path.
