Frequently Asked Questions
Which SDI data rates does the LMH0384SQ/NOPB support and what SMPTE standards do they correspond to?
The device supports three SDI rates: 270 Mbps (SMPTE 259M SD-SDI), 1.485 Gbps (SMPTE 292M HD-SDI), and 2.97 Gbps (SMPTE 424M 3G-SDI), covering all common professional broadcast signal formats used in routing switchers, distribution amplifiers, and video servers.
How far can a 3G-SDI signal travel over standard 75-ohm coaxial cable when using the LMH0384SQ/NOPB?
With adaptive equalization enabled, the LMH0384SQ/NOPB can recover 3G-SDI signals at 2.97 Gbps over approximately 80 m of Belden 1694A coaxial cable, and HD-SDI signals at 1.485 Gbps over more than 130 m, significantly extending cable plant distances in broadcast facilities.
Does the LMH0384SQ/NOPB automatically detect the incoming SDI signal rate?
Yes, the device includes automatic rate detection that identifies whether the incoming signal is SD-SDI at 270 Mbps, HD-SDI at 1.485 Gbps, or 3G-SDI at 2.97 Gbps and adjusts the equalization parameters accordingly, removing the need for manual mode configuration in multi-format broadcast routers.
In what package is the LMH0384SQ/NOPB housed and how does it simplify PCB layout for broadcast cards?
The LMH0384SQ/NOPB is housed in a 16-pin 4 mm x 4 mm QFN (WQFN-16) package with an exposed thermal pad, occupying minimal PCB area and simplifying layout for high-density broadcast I/O cards that route 8 or more SDI channels per board.
Can the LMH0384SQ/NOPB be used in medical imaging equipment that employs SDI interconnects?
Yes, the device's configurable equalization and support for 1.485 Gbps HD-SDI make it suitable for medical imaging systems such as endoscopy towers, surgical video processors, and digital pathology scanners that use standard 75-ohm coaxial SDI cabling over distances up to 100 m within hospital environments.
