Product details
Overview
GV7601-IBE3 from Semtech is a serial digital video receiver IC supporting SD/HD component video (525i, 625i, 720p, 1080i/p at 24–60Hz), ASI transport stream input (270 Mb/s), and integrated cable equalization for up to 230 m HD reach over Belden 1694A coax. It delivers 20-bit parallel video output (RGB/YCbCr 4:4:4/4:2:2/4:2:0), audio de-embedding of up to 8×48 kHz channels, and real-time error correction for TRS, ANC, CRC, and line number. Used in broadcast-grade DVRs and video switchers.
For engineers reviewing the GV7601-IBE3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified specifications, package mapping, functional alternatives, and design-critical interface behavior - including GSPI host control, JTAG test access, dual power domains (1.2V core / 3.3V analog), and configurable 1.8V/3.3V I/O supply.
Technical Context
The GV7601-IBE3 implements a multi-standard SDI receiver with adaptive cable equalization, flywheel-based reclocking, and dual-mode operation: video mode (ITU-R BT.656/BT.709/BT.1120/SMPTE 296M) and ASI mode (IEC 13818-1). Its PLL supports three data rates - 270 Mb/s (SD), 1.485 Gb/s (HD), and 2.97 Gb/s (dual-link HD) - with automatic input detection between SD/HD video and ASI streams.
It integrates a full audio de-embedder supporting AES/EBU, S/PDIF, and I²S outputs with 16/20/24-bit sample formats, plus ancillary data extraction, TRS correction, illegal word remapping, and programmable error handling via GSPI or pin-strapped configuration. The device uses a 20-bit wide parallel bus with DDR-capable PCLK and supports CEA-861 timing generation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial digital video receiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GS2971-IBE3 | Successor Gennum/semtech device with enhanced 3G-SDI support (up to 2.97 Gb/s), lower power (420 mW), and improved equalization range (270 m HD) | Supports 1080p60 4:4:4 12-bit and 4Kp30 via dual-link; lacks native ASI mode | Preferred for new designs requiring 3G-SDI compliance and higher bandwidth; requires firmware update for GSPI register map changes |
| LMH0384SQ/NOPB | Texas Instruments device with integrated reclocker, 1.5 Gb/s max rate, no ASI support, and fixed 3.3 V I/O only | Limited to HD-SDI (not dual-link); no audio de-embedding or ANC processing | Suitable for cost-sensitive HD-only applications where metadata handling and audio extraction are handled externally |
Compared with GV7601-IBE3, GS2971-IBE3 offers higher bandwidth and lower power but drops ASI functionality, while LMH0384SQ/NOPB simplifies design for HD-only use cases but removes critical broadcast features like TRS correction and ANC extraction.

FAQ
What video standards does the GV7601-IBE3 support?
The GV7601-IBE3 supports SD formats (525i/625i), HD formats (720p24–60, 1080i50/60, 1080p24–60), and conforms to ITU-R BT.656, BT.709, BT.1120, and SMPTE 296M. It also supports CEA-861 timing generation. All formats are handled natively without external reformatting, and the GV7601-IBE3 performs automatic standard detection upon lock.
Does GV7601-IBE3 support audio de-embedding, and what formats are output?
Yes, GV7601-IBE3 extracts up to 8 channels of 48 kHz digital audio from ancillary data space. Supported output formats include AES/EBU (professional), S/PDIF (consumer), and I²S (FPGA/ASIC interfacing), with 16-, 20-, or 24-bit sample words. Audio is synchronous to video in SD and synchronous or asynchronous in HD - all managed internally by the GV7601-IBE3 audio de-embedder block.
What is the function of the GSPI interface on GV7601-IBE3?
The Gennum Serial Peripheral Interface (GSPI) is a 4-wire host control interface (SDO, SDI, SCLK, CS) used for configuring registers, reading status, and enabling/disabling features like TRS correction, ANC extraction, and error reporting. Unlike generic SPI, GSPI uses command-word addressing defined in the GV7601-IBE3 datasheet and supports both read and write operations with status acknowledgment - essential for runtime adaptation of the GV7601-IBE3 in field-deployed systems.
Can GV7601-IBE3 operate with both 1.8 V and 3.3 V I/O supplies?
Yes, GV7601-IBE3 supports user-selectable digital I/O voltage: either 1.8 V or 3.3 V, configured via the IO_VDD supply rail and internal register settings. This allows direct interfacing with 1.8 V FPGAs (e.g., Xilinx Artix-7) or 3.3 V microcontrollers without external level shifters - a key flexibility feature confirmed in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table of the GV7601-IBE3 datasheet.
How does GV7601-IBE3 handle timing reference signal (TRS) errors?
GV7601-IBE3 continuously monitors incoming TRS for errors (e.g., missing lines, incorrect polarity) and performs real-time correction by inserting valid TRS packets into the output stream. It also supports TRS regeneration with precise timing alignment to the recovered pixel clock - ensuring frame synchronization integrity across video processing chains. This TRS handling is implemented entirely within the GV7601-IBE3 hardware and requires no host CPU intervention.
