Product details
Overview
LMH0024MA from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a 3.3V SMPTE 259M/344M adaptive cable equalizer IC for serial digital video interfaces. It equalizes data rates from 125 Mbps to 540 Mbps, supports DVB-ASI at 270 Mbps, delivers 750 mVP–P differential output into 50Ω, and operates across −40°C to +85°C. It is used in broadcast-grade SDI receivers to restore signal integrity over coaxial cable up to 350 m (Belden 1694A at 270 Mbps).
For engineers reviewing the LMH0024MA datasheet, LMH0024MA pinout, LMH0024MA application, or LMH0024MA equivalent, key selection criteria include SMPTE compliance, CLI voltage tracking, manual bypass capability, mute control logic, and SOIC-16 footprint compatibility with LMH0034 and GS9064.
Technical Context
The LMH0024MA implements a multi-stage adaptive filter whose gain and bandwidth are dynamically adjusted via an external 1µF AEC loop capacitor across pins AEC+ and AEC−. Its DC restoration block handles pathological SMPTE RP 178 signals and can be disabled via the BYPASS pin.
Cable length indication is derived from the AEC loop and appears as an analog voltage on CLI (Pin 1), decreasing from 2.5 V (0 m) to 2.0 V (max cable). Output muting is controlled by a TTL-compatible MUTE pin (Pin 16) that forces SDO/SDO low when pulled high.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate Range | 125 Mbps to 540 Mbps - supports SMPTE 259M (270 Mbps), SMPTE 344M (540 Mbps), and DVB-ASI (270 Mbps) |
| Equalization Capacity | Up to 350 m Belden 1694A at 270 Mbps - enables long-haul SDI signal recovery without repeaters |
| Output Swing | 750 mVP–P differential into 50Ω - meets SMPTE 259M output amplitude requirements |
| Supply & Temp | +3.3 V ±5% supply; −40°C to +85°C industrial range - suitable for broadcast equipment in uncontrolled environments |
| Power Consumption | 60–77 mA typical ICC - decreases with increasing cable length, enabling thermal-aware system design |
| Input Interface | Single-ended or differential AC-coupled input - simplifies front-end design with legacy or modern drivers |
| CLI Voltage Range | 2.5 V (0 m) to 2.0 V (max cable) - provides real-time analog feedback for cable diagnostics and status monitoring |
Pinout & Package
LMH0024MA is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package (NS Package Number M16A), with exposed pad not present and standard JEDEC MS-012AC dimensions. Pin 10 is NC; all VEE pins (3, 6, 11, 14) must be connected to ground; dual VCC pins (2, 15) require local decoupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CLI | Cable Length Indicator output | Analog voltage inversely proportional to equalized cable length; requires no load for accuracy |
| 2 VCC | Positive supply | +3.3 V primary power rail; must be decoupled near pin with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| 3, 6, 11, 14 VEE | Ground reference | All four ground pins must be tied to low-impedance PCB ground plane to minimize noise coupling |
| 4, 5 SDI / SDI | Differential serial data input | Accepts AC-coupled true/complement signals; supports single-ended drive with proper termination |
| 7 AEC+, 8 AEC− | AEC loop filter interface | External 1 µF capacitor sets AEC loop dynamics; determines adaptation speed and stability |
| 9 BYPASS | Equalization disable control | High = disables both equalizer filter and DC restoration; used for test or low-rate bypass mode |
| 10 NC | No connect | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected and unpopulated on PCB |
| 12, 13 SDO / SDO | Differential serial data output | 50Ω internally terminated; 750 mVP–P swing; muted when MUTE = high |
| 16 MUTE | Output enable/disable control | TTL-compatible: high = outputs forced low; low = normal operation; must not float |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adaptive cable equalizer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH0034MA | Same SOIC-16 footprint; higher max data rate (1.485 Gbps); supports SMPTE 424M; no CLI output | Required for HD-SDI (1.485 Gbps) and 3G-SDI systems; lacks analog cable-length feedback | Select LMH0034MA when upgrading to HD/3G-SDI; retain LMH0024MA for cost-sensitive SD-SDI with CLI diagnostics. |
| GS9064-ILQ | Gennum part; identical pinout and function except MUTE logic inverted; requires Pin 16 tied to GND (not floating) | Legacy Gennum-based designs; same 270 Mbps performance but different mute polarity and no BYPASS pin | LMH0024MA replaces GS9064 with no PCB change if MUTE is grounded; verify mute control logic in firmware. |
Compared with LMH0034MA and GS9064-ILQ, the LMH0024MA uniquely combines SD-SDI support, CLI diagnostics, and BYPASS functionality in a single SOIC-16 package-making it optimal for SMPTE 259M systems requiring cable health monitoring and flexible test modes.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported cable length for LMH0024MA at 270 Mbps?
The LMH0024MA equalizes up to 350 meters of Belden 1694A coaxial cable at 270 Mbps while maintaining ≤0.2 UI output jitter. Performance varies with cable type: it supports 280 m on Belden 8281 at the same rate. Cable length is tracked in real time via the CLI pin voltage, which drops from 2.5 V (0 m) to 2.0 V (maximum equalized length).
Does LMH0024MA support both SMPTE 259M and SMPTE 344M standards?
Yes, the LMH0024MA is explicitly designed and tested for full compliance with both SMPTE 259M (270 Mbps) and SMPTE 344M (540 Mbps) standards. Its adaptive equalizer operates across 125–540 Mbps, and its output swing, jitter, and return loss meet SMPTE specifications across this entire range - confirmed in the SNLS210F datasheet.
How does the CLI (Cable Length Indicator) function on LMH0024MA?
The CLI pin (Pin 1) outputs an analog voltage inversely proportional to the amount of cable loss being compensated. With no cable (0 m), CLI reads ~2.5 V; at maximum equalized length, it drops to ~2.0 V. This voltage is only valid when an input signal is present, and it derives directly from the AEC control loop - enabling real-time cable diagnostics without external measurement tools.
Can LMH0024MA accept single-ended input signals?
Yes, the LMH0024MA supports both differential and single-ended AC-coupled inputs. The SDI/SDI pins accept either configuration: for single-ended use, one pin is driven and the other is terminated to 50Ω to ground. Transformer coupling is not supported, and input coupling capacitance must be 1.0 µF per the recommended operating conditions.
Is LMH0024MA pin-compatible with the Gennum GS9064?
Yes, the LMH0024MA is footprint-compatible with the Gennum GS9064, sharing identical SOIC-16 pinout and land pattern. However, Pin 16 (MUTE) has inverted logic: GS9064 asserts mute when low, while LMH0024MA mutes when high. For drop-in replacement, tie LMH0024MA Pin 16 to GND and verify system-level mute behavior in firmware.
