Product details
Overview
LMH0002SQE/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 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 operation at data rates up to 1.485 Gbps. It drives coaxial cables (e.g., Belden 8281) in HD/SD video transmission systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMH0002SQE/NOPB datasheet, LMH0002SQE/NOPB pinout, LMH0002SQE/NOPB application, or LMH0002SQE/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include SMPTE compliance mode control, RREF-based amplitude tuning, thermal performance in WQFN package, and industrial temperature range support.
Technical Context
The LMH0002SQE/NOPB implements a current-mode differential output stage with programmable slew rate via the SD/HD pin: low = SMPTE 292M (fast rise/fall, 120–220 ps), high = SMPTE 259M (slower, 400–800 ps). Input stage is self-biased for DC- or AC-coupled differential signals.
Output voltage swing is set by an external RREF resistor (e.g., 750 Ω yields 800 mVP–P into 75 Ω), and common-mode output voltage is VCC – VSDO. Power consumption is 49 mA typical in SD mode and 43 mA in HD mode at VCC = 3.3 V.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 1.485 Gbps - supports SMPTE 292M HD-SDI and 270 Mbps DVB-ASI |
| Output Swing | 800 mVP–P (RREF = 750 Ω) - meets SMPTE 259M/292M eye diagram amplitude requirements |
| Additive Jitter | 26 psP–P @ 1.485 Gbps - ensures signal integrity over 100+ meter coax runs |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±5% - single-rail operation simplifies power design vs. dual-supply alternatives |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade video infrastructure equipment |
| Package | 16-pin WQFN (RUM0016A) - 4 mm × 4 mm footprint with exposed thermal pad for 42.7°C/W θJC |
| ESD Rating | HBM: 5 kV - exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 for board-level robustness |
Pinout & Package
LMH0002SQE/NOPB uses a 4 mm × 4 mm, 16-pin WQFN package (TI package code RUM) with exposed thermal pad connected to VEE. Pin count, layout, and thermal metrics match TI's RUM0016A mechanical drawing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VEE) | Negative supply / ground reference | Return path for internal bias and output current; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane |
| 2, 3 (SDI, SDI) | Differential data input pair | Self-biased inputs accept AC- or DC-coupled signals; common-mode range 1.6 V to VCC–VSDI/2 |
| 4 (RREF) | Output amplitude control | Resistor to VCC sets output swing (e.g., 750 Ω → 800 mVP–P); requires minimal parasitic capacitance |
| 5–8, 13–16 (NC) | No-connect terminals | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected per TI design guidelines |
| 9 (VCC) | Positive supply | 3.3 V main rail; requires local 0.1 µF + 10 µF decoupling adjacent to pin |
| 10 (SD/HD) | Slew rate select | Low = SMPTE 292M (fast edge), high = SMPTE 259M (slower edge); TTL-compatible logic level |
| 11, 12 (SDO, SDO) | Differential data output pair | Current-mode 75 Ω outputs; require AC coupling and 75 Ω termination at receiver end |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH0002TMA/NOPB | Same silicon, 8-pin SOIC package; θJA = 160°C/W vs. 78.9°C/W for WQFN | Limited to lower-power SD-only use cases due to higher thermal resistance | Select when board space allows SOIC and thermal budget permits ≤125 mW dissipation |
| GS1578A | Gennum part replaced by LMH0002SQ; not pin-compatible with LMH0002SQE/NOPB's WQFN layout | Legacy design migration only; requires PCB redesign for WQFN footprint | Choose LMH0002SQE/NOPB for new designs requiring drop-in replacement of GS1578A functionality in compact layout |

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the LMH0002SQE/NOPB?
The LMH0002SQE/NOPB supports data rates up to 1.485 Gbps, fully compliant with SMPTE 292M HD-SDI standards. This capability is verified across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and confirmed in TI's SNLS215E datasheet AC Electrical Characteristics table under DRSDI parameter.
How does the SD/HD pin affect LMH0002SQE/NOPB performance?
The SD/HD pin on the LMH0002SQE/NOPB selects output slew rate: logic low configures fast edges (120–220 ps rise/fall) for SMPTE 292M compliance, while logic high enables slower edges (400–800 ps) for SMPTE 259M. This pin directly controls internal current steering and is TTL-compatible, requiring no external pull-up/down resistors.
What is the purpose of the RREF pin on the LMH0002SQE/NOPB?
The RREF pin on the LMH0002SQE/NOPB sets output voltage swing by connecting an external resistor to VCC. A 750 Ω resistor yields 800 mVP–P into 75 Ω, while 590 Ω gives 1000 mVP–P. TI specifies tight placement rules: resistor must be near the pin and underlying copper removed to minimize parasitic capacitance affecting amplitude accuracy.
Is the LMH0002SQE/NOPB pin-compatible with the Gennum GS1578A?
No, the LMH0002SQE/NOPB is not pin-compatible with the Gennum GS1578A. While TI states the LMH0002SQ variant is form-fit-function compatible with GS1578A, the LMH0002SQE/NOPB uses a 16-pin WQFN package with different pinout (e.g., VEE on pin 1, NC on pins 5–8/13–16) versus GS1578A's 16-pin QFN layout. PCB redesign is required for migration.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LMH0002SQE/NOPB in a typical layout?
The LMH0002SQE/NOPB has a junction-to-case thermal resistance (θJC) of 42.7°C/W and junction-to-ambient (θJA) of 78.9°C/W when mounted per TI's RUM0016A guidelines - including soldering the exposed thermal pad to a 4-layer PCB with ≥4 thermal vias. At 149 mW typical HD-mode power, this yields ~6.4°C junction-to-case rise, enabling reliable operation without forced air in most video chassis.
