Product details
Overview
LMH0056SQX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a HD/SD SDI reclocker with integrated 4:1 input multiplexer, designed for serial digital video retiming in broadcast and professional video systems. It supports SMPTE 259M (143/270 Mbps) and SMPTE 292M (1.483/1.485 Gbps), operates from a single 3.3V supply, delivers two differential LVPECL-compatible outputs, and features automatic rate detection and lock detect functionality - used in digital video routers, format converters, and DVB-ASI equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LMH0056SQX/NOPB datasheet, LMH0056SQX/NOPB pinout, LMH0056SQX/NOPB application, or LMH0056SQX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include SMPTE-compliant jitter suppression at 1485 Mbps, dual-output flexibility (data + clock), 48-pin WQFN thermal performance, and LVCMOS control interface compatibility with video system timing controllers.
Technical Context
The LMH0056SQX/NOPB implements a PLL-based reclocking architecture with auto-rate detection across four discrete SDI data rates. Its loop bandwidth adapts to input frequency (300 kHz at 270 Mbps, 2.0 MHz at 1485 Mbps), enabling stable lock under varying jitter conditions while suppressing accumulated timing errors in long-haul video links.
It integrates a 4:1 multiplexer controlled by SEL0/SEL1 pins, dual differential CML/LVPECL outputs (SDO and configurable SCO/SDO2), and LVCMOS logic I/O including RATE[1:0], SCO_EN, MUTE, and SD/HD indicator - all operating within −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range with 360 mW typical power consumption.

Pinout & Package
The LMH0056SQX/NOPB is housed in a 48-pin WQFN package (RHS0048A) with exposed thermal pad connected to VEE. The package supports high-density PCB layout and efficient heat dissipation in video signal path applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SDI0–SDI3 (True/Complement pairs) | Four differential SDI input channels | Accepts SMPTE-compliant LVPECL/CML inputs; selected via SEL0/SEL1 for 4:1 multiplexing |
| SDO (True/Complement) | Primary retimed serial data output | Differential LVPECL-compatible output; drives 100 Ω terminated loads directly |
| SCO/SDO2 (True/Complement) | Configurable secondary output | Switched via SCO_EN between second retimed data or low-jitter data-rate clock (143–1485 MHz) |
| SEL0, SEL1 | Input channel select control | LVCMOS inputs selecting one of four SDI inputs (00→SDI0, 11→SDI3) |
| SCO_EN | Secondary output mode control | LVCMOS input enabling SCO/SDO2 as clock (high) or data (low); internal pull-down default |
| MUTE | Output muting control | Active-low LVCMOS input that forces SDO and SCO/SDO2 to opposite DC levels when asserted |
| LOCK DETECT | PLL lock status indicator | LVCMOS output high when PLL locked to valid SDI rate; used for system synchronization and fault reporting |
| SD/HD | Data rate classification indicator | LVCMOS output high for SD (143/270 Mbps), low for HD (1483/1485 Mbps); registered and valid only during lock |
| XTAL IN/EXT CLK, XTAL OUT | 27 MHz reference interface | Supports parallel-resonant crystal (20 pF load) or external LVCMOS clock; critical for PLL stability |
| LF1, LF2 | PLL loop filter connections | Analog nodes requiring external RC networks to set loop bandwidth per data rate (e.g., 300 kHz or 2 MHz) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SDI reclocking applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH0056SQE/NOPB | Same silicon die, identical WQFN-48 package, same pinout and electrical specs - direct orderable variant with different tape-and-reel packaging (250 pcs vs. 1000 pcs) | No functional difference; differs only in reel quantity and part marking (L056 vs. L056) | Select LMH0056SQE/NOPB for volume procurement where reel size and logistics match production line feeders. |
| LMH0046MT/NOPB | Single-input SDI reclocker (no multiplexer), 48-pin TSSOP package, supports same data rates but lacks SEL/SCO_EN control logic | Suitable for point-to-point reclocking only; cannot replace 4:1 mux functionality in multi-source systems | Choose LMH0046MT/NOPB only when multiplexing is handled upstream and board space allows TSSOP footprint. |
Compared with LMH0056SQX/NOPB, LMH0056SQE/NOPB offers identical performance in a functionally equivalent package, while LMH0046MT/NOPB trades multiplexing capability for simpler control and through-hole assembly - making the former ideal for drop-in replacement and the latter viable only in non-mux SDI paths.

FAQ
What video standards does the LMH0056SQX/NOPB support?
The LMH0056SQX/NOPB supports SMPTE 259M (A & C) for SD-SDI at 143 Mbps and 270 Mbps, and SMPTE 292M for HD-SDI at 1.483 Gbps and 1.485 Gbps. It also handles DVB-ASI at 270 Mbps. All supported rates are explicitly confirmed in the SNLS236C datasheet, and the device performs automatic rate detection without manual configuration for these exact standards.
How does the LMH0056SQX/NOPB handle input multiplexing and output configuration?
The LMH0056SQX/NOPB uses SEL0 and SEL1 pins to select one of four differential SDI inputs (SDI0–SDI3) for retiming. Its SCO/SDO2 output is configurable via the SCO_EN pin: logic high enables a low-jitter serial data-rate clock output (143–1485 MHz), while logic low provides a second retimed data output. Both SDO and SCO/SDO2 are muted when the MUTE pin is driven low.
What is the role of the SD/HD output pin on the LMH0056SQX/NOPB?
The SD/HD pin on the LMH0056SQX/NOPB is a registered LVCMOS output indicating the detected data rate: high for SD rates (143/270 Mbps), low for HD rates (1483/1485 Mbps). It is only valid when the PLL is locked (LOCK DETECT = high) and is used to configure downstream devices like cable drivers. During unlock or rate transitions, its state is undefined or defaults to HD (low).
Can the LMH0056SQX/NOPB operate without an external crystal?
No - the LMH0056SQX/NOPB requires a 27 MHz reference clock applied to the XTAL IN/EXT CLK pin. This may be a parallel-resonant crystal (20 pF load, ±50 ppm) connected across XTAL IN and XTAL OUT, or an external LVCMOS-compatible 27 MHz clock source. The device does not contain an internal oscillator and will not function without this reference.
What thermal and packaging specifications apply to the LMH0056SQX/NOPB?
The LMH0056SQX/NOPB uses a 48-pin WQFN package (RHS0048A) with exposed thermal pad electrically connected to VEE. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 26.1°C/W and θJC = 1.9°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for mechanical stability and thermal performance. Operating junction temperature is rated to +150°C, with industrial ambient range −40°C to +85°C.
