Product details
Overview
LMH0395SQX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3G HD/SD SDI dual-output adaptive cable equalizer IC designed for serial digital video signal restoration over long coaxial runs. It supports ST 424 (2.97 Gbps), ST 292 (1.485 Gbps), and ST 259 (270 Mbps) standards, delivers 200 m reach on Belden 1694A at 2.97 Gbps, consumes only 140 mW in dual-output mode, and features programmable LVDS outputs with 700 mVP-P default swing - deployed in broadcast video routers and distribution amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the LMH0395SQX/NOPB datasheet, LMH0395SQX/NOPB pinout, LMH0395SQX/NOPB application, or LMH0395SQX/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include SMPTE compliance across three data rate tiers, dual independent LVDS outputs with SPI- or pin-mode control, ultra-low power-save mode (17 mW), de-emphasis for FR4 trace compensation, and carrier-detect–driven auto-sleep functionality.
Technical Context
The LMH0395SQX/NOPB implements an adaptive multi-stage equalizer filter with active sensing circuitry that dynamically adjusts gain and bandwidth based on input signal energy and cable loss profile. Its DC restoration block fully restores baseline for pathological SD/HD video patterns per ST RP 178 and RP 198.
It operates in two mutually exclusive modes: pin mode (SPI_EN = GND) using discrete logic controls for BYPASS, AUTO SLEEP, MUTE, and SDO1_DISABLE; and SPI mode (SPI_EN = VCC) supporting daisy-chained configuration via MOSI/MISO/SCK/SS with register-level control of output common-mode voltage (0.8–1.2 V), swing (400–800 mVP-P), de-emphasis, and launch amplitude.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate Range | 125 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps - supports full SMPTE SD/HD/3G-SDI hierarchy without reconfiguration. |
| Cable Reach (Belden 1694A) | 200 m at 2.97 Gbps - enables long-haul routing in broadcast infrastructure without repeaters. |
| Power Consumption | 140 mW (dual output), 17 mW (power-save mode) - reduces thermal load and simplifies thermal design in dense video chassis. |
| Output Interface | Internally terminated 100-Ω LVDS - eliminates external termination resistors and saves PCB area. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V ±5% - compatible with standard low-voltage video system rails and reduces noise coupling. |
| Jitter Performance | ≤0.55 UI at 2.97 Gbps over 200 m - meets ST 424 jitter budget for reliable eye opening at receiver input. |
| Input Return Loss | ≥15 dB (5 MHz–1.5 GHz), ≥10 dB (1.5–3.0 GHz) - ensures minimal signal reflection and maintains signal integrity on coax feed. |
Pinout & Package
LMH0395SQX/NOPB is housed in a 24-pin WQFN package (4.00 mm × 4.00 mm) with exposed die attach pad (DAP) connected to VEE (ground). The package supports both pin-mode and SPI-mode operation, selected by SPI_EN level; pin functions differ between modes as defined in TI SNLS323N Rev N.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SDI / SDI | Analog Input Pair | Differential true/complement serial data input - AC-coupled, internally biased, accepts 720–880 mVP-P swing. |
| SDO0 / SDO0, SDO1 / SDO1 | LVDS Output Pairs | Dual 100-Ω internally terminated differential outputs - independently controllable, programmable swing/common-mode. |
| SPI_EN | Mode Select Input | Drives high for SPI mode (daisy-chain register access); drives low for pin mode (discrete logic control). |
| AUTO SLEEP | Power Management Input | Enables automatic power-down when CD detects no input signal - reduces quiescent current to 7–10 mA. |
| MUTEREF | Analog Threshold Reference | Sets carrier detect sensitivity and maximum equalizable cable length - adjustable via analog voltage or SPI register 03h. |
| CD | Carrier Detect Output | LVCMOS open-drain output indicating valid input presence - used to trigger mute or auto-sleep actions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adaptive Equalization | Real-time adjustment of gain/bandwidth based on cable loss and input energy - maintains signal integrity across variable-length coax runs. |
| Dual Independent Outputs | Two LVDS drivers with separate enable/disable control (SDO1_DISABLE) - eliminates need for external fanout buffers in distribution systems. |
| Programmable De-Emphasis | Compensates for up to 40 inches of FR4 board trace loss - preserves eye opening when routing outputs to downstream reclockers or FPGAs. |
| DC Restoration | Self-biasing circuit handles pathological video patterns (e.g., long strings of 0s/1s) per ST RP 178/RP 198 - prevents baseline wander and bit errors. |
| Ultra-Low Power-Save Mode | 17-mW typical consumption with outputs in high-Z - extends uptime in battery-backed or thermally constrained broadcast edge devices. |
Applications
| Broadcast Video Router | Distribution Amplifier |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SDI equalizer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH0384SQX/NOPB | Single-output, 2.97-Gbps SDI equalizer; no SDO1 or SDO1_DISABLE pin; 115 mW dual-rate power. | Lacks second output and independent output disable - requires external fanout for multi-path distribution. | Select when only one output path is needed and board space/power budget is highly constrained. |
| GS2971-IBE3 | 3G-SDI equalizer with integrated reclocking; supports SMPTE ST 2081 (12G-SDI) forward compatibility; 3.3-V supply. | Includes reclock function and wider voltage range but higher power (220 mW) and larger 32-pin QFN package. | Select when jitter cleanup beyond equalization is required or future 12G-SDI upgrade path is planned. |
Compared with LMH0395SQX/NOPB, LMH0384SQX/NOPB reduces cost and footprint for single-output use cases but sacrifices distribution flexibility, while GS2971-IBE3 adds reclocking and scalability at the expense of power and layout complexity.

FAQ
What SMPTE standards does the LMH0395SQX/NOPB support?
The LMH0395SQX/NOPB supports ST 424 (2.97 Gbps), ST 292 (1.485 Gbps), ST 344 (540 Mbps), ST 259 (270 Mbps), and DVB-ASI standards. It operates across the full 125 Mbps–2.97 Gbps data rate range without hardware reconfiguration, making LMH0395SQX/NOPB suitable for mixed-rate broadcast infrastructures where legacy SD and modern 3G-SDI coexist.
How does the LMH0395SQX/NOPB achieve 200-meter cable reach at 2.97 Gbps?
The LMH0395SQX/NOPB achieves 200-meter reach on Belden 1694A coax at 2.97 Gbps through its adaptive multi-stage equalizer filter, which dynamically compensates for frequency-dependent loss using real-time energy detection and AEC feedback. LMH0395SQX/NOPB also incorporates DC restoration to handle pathological video patterns, ensuring robust eye opening even after severe channel degradation.
Can the LMH0395SQX/NOPB operate in both pin-control and SPI modes simultaneously?
No - the LMH0395SQX/NOPB operates exclusively in either pin mode (SPI_EN = GND) or SPI mode (SPI_EN = VCC), not both. In pin mode, functions like BYPASS, AUTO SLEEP, and SDO1_DISABLE are controlled directly by logic levels on dedicated pins. In SPI mode, those same functions are configured via registers accessed through MOSI/MISO/SCK/SS, and the pin functions change accordingly (e.g., Pin 10 becomes CD instead of BYPASS).
What is the purpose of the MUTEREF pin on the LMH0395SQX/NOPB?
The MUTEREF pin on the LMH0395SQX/NOPB sets the threshold for the Carrier Detect (CD) output and determines the maximum cable length before automatic muting occurs. Applying a voltage inversely proportional to desired reach (e.g., ~1.1 V for 180 m) adjusts CD sensitivity; leaving MUTEREF unconnected or grounded enables default CD behavior. LMH0395SQX/NOPB also allows digital MUTEREF programming via SPI register 03h.
Does the LMH0395SQX/NOPB require external termination resistors on its LVDS outputs?
No - the LMH0395SQX/NOPB features internally terminated 100-Ω LVDS outputs (SDO0/SDO0 and SDO1/SDO1), eliminating the need for external 100-Ω differential termination resistors. This reduces PCB component count and layout complexity. However, proper 100-Ω differential transmission lines and receiver-side termination (e.g., 100-Ω resistor or internal 50-Ω per side) remain essential for signal integrity.
