Product details
Overview
LMH0002TMA 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 −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. It drives coaxial cable (e.g., Belden 8281) at up to 1.485 Gbps for HD-SDI video transmission.
For engineers reviewing the LMH0002TMA datasheet, LMH0002TMA pinout, LMH0002TMA application, or LMH0002TMA equivalent, key selection criteria include SMPTE compliance mode control, 75Ω current-mode output drive capability, single 3.3V supply operation, thermal performance in SOIC package, and compatibility with SDI/HD-SDI routing infrastructure.
Technical Context
The LMH0002TMA implements a high-speed current-mode output stage with externally adjustable amplitude via RREF-to-VCC resistor (750Ω for 800 mVP–P, 590Ω for 1000 mVP–P). Its SD/HD pin selects between SMPTE 259M (slower rise/fall: 400–800 ps) and SMPTE 292M (faster: 120–220 ps) slew rates.
It features self-biased differential inputs (SDI/SDI) operating within 100–2000 mVP–P swing and common-mode range of 1.6 V + VSDI/2, supports DVB-ASI at 270 Mbps, and delivers <26 psP–P additive jitter at 1.485 Gbps - critical for bit-error-free HD-SDI distribution.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 1.485 Gbps - supports full SMPTE 292M HD-SDI and SMPTE 259M SD-SDI standards. |
| Output Swing | 800 mVP–P (RREF = 750Ω) or 1000 mVP–P (RREF = 590Ω) into 75Ω - enables precise amplitude tuning for cable loss compensation. |
| Slew Rate Control | Pin-selectable via SD/HD: 120–220 ps (HD mode) or 400–800 ps (SD mode) - ensures compliance with SMPTE 292M or 259M eye diagram requirements. |
| Supply & Power | Single 3.3V ±5% supply; 49 mA typical ICC in SD mode, 43 mA in HD mode - enables low-noise, low-power HD-SDI line driving. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade video equipment including broadcast routers and security camera backends. |
| Jitter Performance | 26 psP–P additive jitter at 1.485 Gbps - preserves signal integrity across multi-hop HD-SDI distribution chains. |
| Input Type | Differential or AC/DC-coupled single-ended - simplifies interface to FPGA serializers, video processors, or reclockers without external biasing. |
Pinout & Package
LMH0002TMA is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 1.75 mm max height, RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad not present. Thermal resistance θJA = 160°C/W, θJC = 105°C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SDI | True serial data input - accepts differential or single-ended signals; self-biased at ~2.1 V with 3.3 V supply. |
| 2 | SDI | Complement serial data input - forms differential pair with Pin 1; enables noise-immune reception over PCB traces or cables. |
| 3 | VEE | Negative power supply (ground reference) - must be low-impedance; connects to system ground plane for stable output common-mode voltage. |
| 4 | RREF | Output amplitude control - resistor to VCC sets output swing (750Ω → 800 mVP–P; 590Ω → 1000 mVP–P). |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply (3.3 V ±5%) - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling; powers all internal circuitry and output stage. |
| 6 | SD/HD | Slew rate select - logic low enables SMPTE 292M fast edge (120–220 ps); logic high enables SMPTE 259M slower edge (400–800 ps). |
| 7 | SDO | True serial data output - current-mode differential output; terminates into 75Ω load with AC coupling for HD-SDI compliance. |
| 8 | SDO | Complement serial data output - completes differential output pair with Pin 7; maintains 75Ω impedance match and return loss ≥15 dB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SMPTE 292M/259M Compliance | Hardware-selectable slew rate ensures guaranteed eye mask compliance per standard - eliminates need for post-layout timing tuning. |
| Adjustable Output Amplitude | RREF resistor allows precise swing calibration (±50 mV resolution) to compensate for PCB trace loss or connector degradation over time. |
| Differential Input Architecture | Self-biased inputs accept DC- or AC-coupled signals without external bias networks - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| 75Ω Current-Mode Output | Delivers robust EMI-resistant differential signaling into coaxial cable - meets SMPTE return loss ≥15 dB from 5 MHz to 1.5 GHz on proper layout. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C operation validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108 - supports deployment in uncontrolled environments like outdoor security enclosures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SMPTE-compliant serial digital driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GS1528A | Gennum part; identical pinout and function but obsolete; no longer manufactured or supported by Renesas. | Legacy drop-in replacement only - lacks TI's updated thermal specs and 1.485 Gbps characterization. | Select LMH0002TMA for new designs requiring active technical support, extended temperature validation, and long-term supply. |
| LMH0034SQ | TI's newer 16-pin WQFN variant; supports same SMPTE standards but adds integrated reclocking and lower jitter (12 psP–P). | Used where jitter budget is tighter (e.g., multi-hop studio routing); requires PCB redesign due to different package and pin count. | Choose LMH0002TMA when cost-sensitive, space-constrained SOIC layout exists and jitter <26 ps suffices. |
Compared with GS1528A, LMH0002TMA offers verified industrial temperature operation and active lifecycle support; compared with LMH0034SQ, it provides proven SOIC compatibility and lower BOM cost at the expense of reclocking capability and ultra-low jitter.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the LMH0002TMA?
The LMH0002TMA supports data rates up to 1.485 Gbps, fully compliant with SMPTE 292M HD-SDI standards. This maximum rate is validated across the full −40°C to +85°C operating range and confirmed in TI's SNLS215E datasheet under AC Electrical Characteristics. The LMH0002TMA maintains <26 psP–P additive jitter at this rate, ensuring robust signal integrity for uncompressed 1080p60 video transmission.
How does the SD/HD pin affect LMH0002TMA operation?
The SD/HD pin on the LMH0002TMA selects output slew rate: logic low configures faster edges (120–220 ps) for SMPTE 292M HD-SDI compliance, while logic high enables slower edges (400–800 ps) for SMPTE 259M SD-SDI. This hardware-selectable mode eliminates firmware or register programming, enabling deterministic timing behavior critical for broadcast routing. The LMH0002TMA's SD/HD pin is TTL-compatible and draws only 3.7 µA.
What resistor value should I use on the RREF pin of the LMH0002TMA for standard HD-SDI output swing?
For standard HD-SDI output swing of 800 mVP–P into 75Ω, use a 750Ω ±1% resistor between the RREF pin and VCC. For higher swing (1000 mVP–P) required in long-cable or lossy environments, use 590Ω ±1%. TI specifies both values in the LMH0002TMA DC Electrical Characteristics table, and the resistor must be placed adjacent to the RREF pin with removed copper underneath to minimize parasitic capacitance.
Is the LMH0002TMA pin-compatible with the Gennum GS1528A?
No - the LMH0002TMA is not pin-compatible with the GS1528A. While the LMH0002MA variant is form-fit-function compatible with GS1528/GS1528A, the LMH0002TMA uses the same 8-pin SOIC footprint but differs in thermal specification and marking (L002T). The GS1528A is obsolete and unsupported; TI explicitly positions LMH0002TMA as a modern industrial-grade replacement, not a drop-in substitute for legacy Gennum parts.
What is the operating temperature range specified for the LMH0002TMA?
The LMH0002TMA is rated for −40°C to +85°C industrial operating free-air temperature, as stated in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of TI's SNLS215E datasheet. This range is validated with θJA = 160°C/W for the SOIC package and applies to all electrical parameters unless otherwise noted. The LMH0002TMA's thermal design supports continuous operation in non-climate-controlled enclosures typical of broadcast and security video equipment.
