Product details
Overview
LMH0002TMAX/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. It supports data rates up to 1.485 Gbps and operates across −40°C to +85°C for industrial video routing applications.
For engineers reviewing the LMH0002TMAX/NOPB datasheet, LMH0002TMAX/NOPB pinout, LMH0002TMAX/NOPB application, or LMH0002TMAX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include SMPTE compliance mode control, 75Ω AC-coupled coaxial drive capability, output swing adjustability (750–1100 mVP–P), low additive jitter (26 psP–P at 1.485 Gbps), and SOIC-8 thermal performance (θJA = 160°C/W).
Technical Context
The LMH0002TMAX/NOPB implements a current-mode differential output stage optimized for 75Ω coaxial transmission lines (e.g., Belden 8281/1694A), with internal self-biased differential input receivers supporting both AC- and DC-coupled interfaces. Its SD/HD pin selects between SMPTE 259M (slower rise/fall: 400–800 ps) and SMPTE 292M (faster: 120–220 ps) timing compliance.
Output voltage swing is set by an external RREF resistor tied between RREF and VCC, enabling precise amplitude tuning (750–850 mVP–P at RREF = 750Ω; 900–1100 mVP–P at RREF = 590Ω). Power consumption is 38–49 mA depending on SD/HD state, with typical dissipation of 149 mW in HD mode.
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 transmission. |
| Output Swing | 750–1100 mVP–P - adjustable via RREF resistor to match line loss and receiver sensitivity. |
| Additive Jitter | 26 psP–P at 1.485 Gbps - ensures signal integrity over long coax runs without excessive bit error rate. |
| Rise/Fall Time | 120–220 ps (HD mode) or 400–800 ps (SD mode) - programmable via SD/HD pin for standard compliance. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±5% - single-rail operation simplifies power design and eliminates level-shifting requirements. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - industrial-grade rating enables use in broadcast equipment and outdoor security systems. |
| Package | 8-pin SOIC (D package) - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and legacy board layouts. |
Pinout & Package
LMH0002TMAX/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 1.75 mm max height, RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is marked by beveled corner; device marking is "L002T".
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SDI | Differential true data input - accepts AC- or DC-coupled signals within 1.6 V to VCC–VSDI/2 common-mode range. |
| 2 | SDI | Differential complement data input - paired with Pin 1 for noise-rejecting signal reception. |
| 3 | VEE | Negative supply (ground reference) - must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| 4 | RREF | Output amplitude control - external resistor to VCC sets output swing (750Ω → 750–850 mVP–P; 590Ω → 900–1100 mVP–P). |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply (3.3 V) - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor adjacent to pin. |
| 6 | SD/HD | Slew rate select - logic low enables SMPTE 292M fast edge rates; logic high enables SMPTE 259M slower edges. |
| 7 | SDO | Differential complement data output - drives 75Ω coaxial cable with current-mode output stage. |
| 8 | SDO | Differential true data output - paired with Pin 7 for balanced, low-emission HD/SD-SDI transmission. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SMPTE 292M/259M Compliance | Hardware-selectable slew rate ensures conformance to both HD-SDI and SD-SDI eye diagram masks without firmware or configuration. |
| Adjustable Output Amplitude | RREF pin enables precise swing tuning to compensate for PCB trace loss or connector attenuation while maintaining signal integrity. |
| Differential Input Architecture | Self-biased inputs eliminate need for external termination or bias networks, reducing component count and layout complexity. |
| Low Additive Jitter | 26 psP–P at 1.485 Gbps minimizes timing uncertainty in multi-hop routing systems, preserving BER in broadcast infrastructure. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C operation supports deployment in uncontrolled environments such as CCTV enclosures and field production gear. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH0002MA/NOPB | Same silicon, commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C); identical pinout and electrical specs. | Not rated for industrial ambient conditions; unsuitable for outdoor or thermally uncontrolled enclosures. | Select LMH0002MA/NOPB only for indoor, temperature-stabilized broadcast gear. |
| GS1528A | Gennum part replaced by LMH0002; form-fit-function compatible per TI documentation but lacks RREF-based amplitude tuning. | Fixed output swing; less flexible for varying cable lengths or receiver sensitivities. | Choose GS1528A only for drop-in replacement where existing RREF circuitry is absent and swing tolerance is wide. |
Compared with LMH0002MA/NOPB, LMH0002TMAX/NOPB adds extended temperature support critical for field-deployed video systems; compared with GS1528A, it provides superior design flexibility via programmable amplitude and slew control - essential for optimizing signal integrity across diverse coax topologies.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LMH0002TMAX/NOPB?
The LMH0002TMAX/NOPB is rated for industrial operation from −40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for deployment in outdoor security enclosures, mobile broadcast units, and factory-floor video processing equipment where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits. This range is confirmed in TI's SNLS215E datasheet under Recommended Operating Conditions and distinguishes it from the commercial-grade LMH0002MA/NOPB.
How does the SD/HD pin affect LMH0002TMAX/NOPB performance?
The SD/HD pin on the LMH0002TMAX/NOPB directly controls output slew rate: logic low configures faster rise/fall times (120–220 ps) for SMPTE 292M HD-SDI compliance, while logic high selects slower edges (400–800 ps) for SMPTE 259M SD-SDI. This hardware-selectable feature eliminates software configuration and ensures deterministic timing behavior critical for real-time video systems.
Can LMH0002TMAX/NOPB drive 75Ω coaxial cable without external termination?
Yes, the LMH0002TMAX/NOPB features integrated 75Ω differential output drivers and is designed to directly drive standard 75Ω coaxial cables (e.g., Belden 8281 or 1694A) without external termination resistors. Its current-mode output architecture maintains impedance matching and return loss >15 dB across 5 MHz–1.5 GHz when used with proper PCB layout per TI's SD002 evaluation board guidelines.
What is the purpose of the RREF pin on LMH0002TMAX/NOPB?
On the LMH0002TMAX/NOPB, the RREF pin sets output voltage swing by connecting an external resistor to VCC: 750Ω yields 750–850 mVP–P, while 590Ω yields 900–1100 mVP–P. This allows designers to precisely tune amplitude for specific cable loss or receiver sensitivity, improving margin in long-haul or noisy environments without redesigning the entire signal chain.
Is LMH0002TMAX/NOPB pin-compatible with Gennum GS1528A?
No - LMH0002TMAX/NOPB is not pin-compatible with GS1528A. While TI states the LMH0002MA is form-fit-function compatible with GS1528/GS1528A, the LMH0002TMAX/NOPB uses the same SOIC-8 package but differs in temperature grade and marking ("L002T"). GS1528A has different pin assignments (e.g., no RREF pin), so direct replacement requires PCB modification and validation.
