Product details
Overview
LMH0056SQ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a HD/SD SDI reclocker with integrated 4:1 input multiplexer, designed for serial digital video retiming in broadcast infrastructure. It supports SMPTE 259M (143/270 Mbps) and SMPTE 292M (1.483/1.485 Gbps), delivers two differential LVPECL-compatible outputs, consumes 360 mW typical power, and operates from a single 3.3V supply across −40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the LMH0056SQ/NOPB datasheet, LMH0056SQ/NOPB pinout, LMH0056SQ/NOPB application, or LMH0056SQ/NOPB equivalent, this device serves as a jitter-suppressing reclocker for SDTV/HDTV routing, DVB-ASI equipment, and video format conversion where precise data-rate clock recovery and input channel selection are critical.
Technical Context
The LMH0056SQ/NOPB implements a PLL-based reclocking architecture with auto-rate detection across four discrete serial data rates (143/270/1483/1485 Mbps), rejecting input jitter >6 UIP-P at HD rates while delivering output jitter as low as 0.05–0.10 UIP-P. Its dual differential outputs support either retimed data (SDO + SCO/SDO2) or one data stream plus a low-jitter data-rate clock (SCO/SDO2 enabled via SCO_EN).
It integrates a 4:1 multiplexer controlled by SEL0/SEL1, manual rate select (RATE0/RATE1), lock detect (LOCK DET), SD/HD rate indicator, and output mute functionality - all using LVCMOS logic interfaces. The 27 MHz crystal or external reference drives a VCO/PLL loop with configurable bandwidth (300 kHz at 270 Mbps, 2.0 MHz at 1485 Mbps) and acquisition time of 10–16 ms in auto-detect mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rates | 143 Mbps, 270 Mbps, 1.483 Gbps, 1.485 Gbps - supports SMPTE 259M A/C and SMPTE 292M standards, plus DVB-ASI at 270 Mbps |

Pinout & Package
LMH0056SQ/NOPB is housed in a 48-pin WQFN package (RHS0048A) with an exposed die attach pad (DAP) electrically connected to VEE and requiring connection to system ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SDI0–SDI3 (pins 1–2, 4–5, 7–8, 10–11) | Differential serial data inputs | Four independent CML/LVPECL-compatible inputs; selected via SEL0/SEL1 for 4:1 multiplexing into reclock path |
| SDO (pins 32–33) | Primary retimed serial data output | Differential LVPECL-compatible output; always active unless muted; drives downstream cable drivers or deserializers |
| SCO/SDO2 (pins 28–29) | Secondary output (data or clock) | Configurable via SCO_EN: second retimed data stream or low-jitter data-rate clock (143/270/1483/1485 MHz) |
| SEL0/SEL1 (pins 47–48) | Input channel select control | LVCMOS inputs selecting one of four SDI inputs (00=SDI0, 01=SDI1, 10=SDI2, 11=SDI3) |
| SCO_EN (pin 37) | SCO/SDO2 function select | LVCMOS input enabling clock output (high) or second data output (low); internal pull-down defaults to data mode |
| LOCK DET (pin 24) | PLL lock status indicator | Active-high open-drain output signaling valid PLL lock; used to enable/disable downstream stages or mute outputs |
| XTAL IN/EXT CLK (pin 18) | 27 MHz reference input | Accepts parallel-resonant crystal or LVCMOS clock; drives internal PLL/VCO for data-rate recovery |
| MUTE (pin 16) | Output muting control | Active-low LVCMOS input muting both SDO and SCO/SDO2; overrides bypass mode when asserted |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-rate detection with manual override | Identifies 143/270/1483/1485 Mbps SDI streams without configuration; RATE0/RATE1 pins fix rate for deterministic behavior in DVB-ASI or test setups |
| Dual differential retimed outputs | SDO provides primary retimed data; SCO/SDO2 offers flexible second output-either identical retimed data or precisely aligned data-rate clock for synchronization |
| Integrated 4:1 input multiplexer | Reduces board-level complexity by consolidating four SDI sources into one reclock path, eliminating need for external crosspoint switches in router I/O modules |
| Low-jitter clock recovery | Delivers serial clock output with ≤3 psRMS jitter and 40–60% alignment within data interval-enables reliable sampling in high-speed deserializers |
| Industrial temperature operation | Validated from −40°C to +85°C with 360 mW typical power-supports fanless enclosures and dense video processing chassis without thermal derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SDI reclocking applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH0044SQ/NOPB | Equalizer-only function (no reclocking or multiplexing); requires external clock recovery and mux | Used upstream of LMH0056SQ/NOPB to restore signal integrity on long cables; not a functional substitute | Select LMH0044SQ/NOPB only when input signal degradation exceeds LMH0056SQ/NOPB's input tolerance and equalization is needed pre-reclock |
| GS2971AIBTE3 | Single-input HD/SD reclocker with integrated cable driver; no multiplexer; supports SMPTE 424M (3G-SDI) | Targeted at point-to-point reclock-and-drive applications (e.g., camera-to-processor links), not multi-source routing | Choose GS2971AIBTE3 when reclocking a single SDI source and driving a short PCB trace or backplane; LMH0056SQ/NOPB remains preferred for 4-input routing nodes |
Compared with LMH0056SQ/NOPB, LMH0044SQ/NOPB lacks reclocking and multiplexing entirely, serving only as a front-end equalizer, while GS2971AIBTE3 omits input selection capability and integrates a driver unsuitable for multi-output distribution-making LMH0056SQ/NOPB uniquely suited for SDI routing and switching infrastructure.

FAQ
What video standards does the LMH0056SQ/NOPB support?
The LMH0056SQ/NOPB supports SMPTE 259M (143 Mbps and 270 Mbps) for standard-definition and SMPTE 292M (1.483 Gbps and 1.485 Gbps) for high-definition serial digital video. It also handles DVB-ASI at 270 Mbps. All supported rates are explicitly defined in the official TI datasheet SNLS236C, and the device performs automatic rate detection and jitter suppression per standard requirements.
Does the LMH0056SQ/NOPB require an external crystal or can it use an oscillator?
The LMH0056SQ/NOPB accepts either a 27 MHz parallel-resonant crystal (with 20 pF load capacitance, ≤40 Ω series resistance) connected between XTAL IN/EXT CLK and XTAL OUT, or a 27 MHz LVCMOS-compatible clock signal applied directly to XTAL IN/EXT CLK. The datasheet specifies ±50 ppm frequency tolerance for stable PLL lock across temperature and voltage variations.
How does the 4:1 input multiplexer work on the LMH0056SQ/NOPB?
The LMH0056SQ/NOPB uses SEL0 and SEL1 (pins 47–48) to select one of four differential SDI inputs (SDI0–SDI3). Logic states 00, 01, 10, and 11 correspond to SDI0, SDI1, SDI2, and SDI3 respectively. This selection occurs prior to the reclock stage, allowing any chosen input to be retimed and distributed to the outputs without external switching hardware.
Can the LMH0056SQ/NOPB output a clean data-rate clock alongside retimed data?
Yes - the LMH0056SQ/NOPB provides a selectable second output (SCO/SDO2, pins 28–29) that functions either as a second retimed data stream or as a low-jitter serial data-rate clock (143/270/1483/1485 MHz), controlled by the SCO_EN pin (pin 37). When SCO_EN is high, SCO/SDO2 outputs the recovered clock with ≤3 psRMS jitter and 40–60% alignment within the data interval.
What is the purpose of the SD/HD output pin on the LMH0056SQ/NOPB?
The SD/HD output (pin 36) is a registered indicator that signals whether the LMH0056SQ/NOPB is locked to an SD-rate (143/270 Mbps, output high) or HD-rate (1.483/1.485 Gbps, output low) signal. It is intended to configure downstream devices like the LMH0002 cable driver for appropriate output drive strength and is only valid when LOCK DET is asserted.
