Product details
Overview
LMH0002MAX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an SMPTE 292M/259M-compliant serial digital cable driver IC with differential input, 75Ω differential output, selectable slew rate (SD/HD pin), adjustable output amplitude via RREF resistor, and single 3.3V supply operation - used in broadcast video routing, HD-SDI distribution amplifiers, and digital video infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the LMH0002MAX/NOPB datasheet, LMH0002MAX/NOPB pinout, LMH0002MAX/NOPB application, or LMH0002MAX/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-8 package details, SMPTE compliance context, thermal performance data, and real-world substitution guidance for broadcast-grade serial digital interface design.
Technical Context
The LMH0002MAX/NOPB implements a current-mode differential output stage with programmable slew rate selection (via SD/HD pin) to meet SMPTE 259M (HD = high, tr/tf ≈ 400–800 ps) or SMPTE 292M (HD = low, tr/tf ≈ 120–220 ps) timing requirements. Input common-mode voltage is self-biased at ~2.1 V with 3.3 V supply.
Output amplitude is set by external RREF (750 Ω typical for 800 mVP–P, 590 Ω for 1000 mVP–P) connected between RREF and VCC. It supports DC- or AC-coupled differential inputs and drives 75 Ω coaxial cables (e.g., Belden 1694A) up to 1.485 Gbps with <26 psP–P additive jitter at full rate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 1.485 Gbps - enables SMPTE 292M HD-SDI transmission without retiming. |
| Output Swing | 800 mVP–P (RREF = 750 Ω) into 75 Ω - meets SMPTE 292M peak-to-peak amplitude requirement. |
| Additive Jitter | 26 psP–P @ 1.485 Gbps - ensures signal integrity over long cable runs in broadcast systems. |
| Supply Current | 49 mA typical in SD mode, 43 mA in HD mode - enables low-power HD-SDI channel scaling. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial broadcast equipment and outside plant enclosures. |
| Return Loss | ≥15 dB (5 MHz–1.5 GHz) - maintains impedance match on properly designed PCBs per SD002 eval board reference. |

LMH0002MAX/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Package Drawing D), 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.75 mm max height, RoHS-compliant, lead finish Sn, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SDI) | Differential data true input | Accepts AC- or DC-coupled LVDS/PECL-compatible signals; self-biased at ~2.1 V. |
| 2 (SDI) | Differential data complement input | Paired with Pin 1 for noise-rejecting differential reception; same bias and swing specs. |
| 3 (VEE) | Negative supply / ground reference | Must be connected to system ground plane; serves as return path for all internal currents. |

| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply input | Single 3.3 V ±5% supply; decoupling capacitor required within 5 mm of pin. |
| 6 (SD/HD) | Slew rate select control | Low = SMPTE 292M mode (fast edge); High = SMPTE 259M mode (slower edge). |
| 7 (SDO) | Differential data true output | Current-mode output; requires 75 Ω AC-coupled termination to coaxial cable. |
| 8 (SDO) | Differential data complement output | Paired with Pin 7; forms balanced 75 Ω differential output compliant with SMPTE standards. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial digital cable driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH0002TMAX/NOPB | Identical SOIC-8 footprint and electrical specs; rated for −40°C to +85°C (same as LMH0002MAX/NOPB). | No functional difference; TMA variant uses alternate marking "L002T" but shares identical performance and qualification. | Select LMH0002TMAX/NOPB only if traceability to TI's industrial-grade marking convention is required. |
| GS1528A | Gennum part replaced by LMH0002MA/SQ; not pin-compatible with LMH0002MAX/NOPB SOIC package - different pinout and biasing. | Legacy Gennum-based designs require redesign; GS1528A lacks RREF-based amplitude control and SD/HD slew select. | LMH0002MAX/NOPB is not a drop-in replacement for GS1528A; migration requires schematic and layout updates. |
Compared with LMH0002TMAX/NOPB, LMH0002MAX/NOPB offers identical performance and industrial temp rating but uses "L002" marking; versus GS1528A, it delivers superior jitter, programmable amplitude, and SMPTE 292M compliance - requiring board-level redesign but enabling next-gen HD-SDI scalability.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the LMH0002MAX/NOPB?
The LMH0002MAX/NOPB supports data rates up to 1.485 Gbps, fully compliant with SMPTE 292M HD-SDI standards. This capability is validated across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and confirmed by TI's AC electrical characterization at 1.485 Gbps with ≤26 psP–P additive jitter. The LMH0002MAX/NOPB maintains signal integrity without retiming, making it suitable for direct-drive broadcast video links.
How does the SD/HD pin affect LMH0002MAX/NOPB performance?
The SD/HD pin on the LMH0002MAX/NOPB selects output slew rate: logic low enables SMPTE 292M-compliant fast edges (120–220 ps rise/fall), while logic high configures SMPTE 259M-compliant slower edges (400–800 ps). This setting directly impacts EMI, cable equalization headroom, and jitter accumulation. The LMH0002MAX/NOPB's internal circuitry adjusts driver strength accordingly - no external components are needed beyond the RREF resistor. This dual-mode flexibility makes the LMH0002MAX/NOPB suitable for mixed SD/HD infrastructure.
What is the purpose of the RREF pin on the LMH0002MAX/NOPB?
The RREF pin on the LMH0002MAX/NOPB sets output voltage swing by connecting an external resistor to VCC. A 750 Ω ±1% resistor yields 800 mVP–P into 75 Ω, meeting SMPTE 292M amplitude requirements; a 590 Ω resistor increases swing to 1000 mVP–P. This resistor must be placed adjacent to the RREF pin with minimized parasitic capacitance. The LMH0002MAX/NOPB's RREF-based control eliminates DACs or trim pots, enabling production-ready amplitude tuning without calibration. Its function is documented in TI's SNLS215E datasheet Section 8.3.3.
Is LMH0002MAX/NOPB pin-compatible with Gennum GS1528A?
No, the LMH0002MAX/NOPB is not pin-compatible with the Gennum GS1528A. Although TI states the LMH0002MA is form-fit-function compatible with GS1528/GS1528A, that applies only to the LMH0002MA variant in SOIC-8 - and even then, compatibility requires board-level validation due to differences in input biasing, RREF implementation, and SD/HD control logic. The LMH0002MAX/NOPB shares the same SOIC-8 package as LMH0002MA but has no documented pin mapping equivalence to GS1528A. Migration from GS1528A to LMH0002MAX/NOPB necessitates schematic and layout revision.
What thermal considerations apply to LMH0002MAX/NOPB in continuous HD operation?
The LMH0002MAX/NOPB exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 160°C/W in its SOIC-8 package. At 149 mW typical power dissipation in HD mode, this yields a worst-case junction temperature rise of ~23.8°C above ambient - well within the +150°C absolute maximum. For sustained operation at +85°C ambient, the LMH0002MAX/NOPB junction reaches ~109°C, leaving 41°C safety margin. No heatsink is required, but a solid ground plane and minimal copper isolation around RREF are recommended per TI's layout guidelines in SNLS215E.
