DESCRIPTION
The LMH0044 SMPTE 292M / 259M adaptive cable
equalizer is a monolithic integrated circuit for
equalizing data transmitted over cable (or any media
with similar dispersive loss characteristics). The
equalizer operates over a wide range of data rates
from 125 Mbps to 1.485 Gbps and supports SMPTE
292M, SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 259M.
The LMH0044 implements DC restoration to correctly
handle pathological data conditions (DC restoration
may be bypassed for low data rate applications). The
equalizer may be driven in either a single ended or
differential configuration.
Additional features include separate carrier detect
and output mute pins which may be tied together to
mute the output when no signal is present. A
programmable mute reference is provided to mute the
output at a selectable level of signal degradation.
