The LMH0002MAX/NOPB, a product from Texas Instruments, is a high-performance, adaptive cable equalizer used in professional video applications. This product is specifically designed to support data rates up to 3 Gbps. This makes it an ideal choice for SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) 259M, 344M, 292M, and 424M serial digital interfaces. The LMH0002MAX/NOPB is equipped with a cable equalizer that provides compensation for the high-frequency loss encountered with long lengths of coaxial cable, ensuring high-quality video transmission over extended distances. It can equalize up to 120m of Belden 1694A at 3Gbps, up to 140m at 1.5Gbps, and up to 400m at 270 Mbps. This makes the product suitable for a variety of applications, including broadcast video routers and switches, video editing and processing equipment, and distribution amplifiers. The product also features an integrated reclocker that reduces jitter and improves signal integrity, and a cable length indicator that provides a qualitative measure of the input cable length. Additionally, it is capable of operating from a single 3.3V supply, making it energy efficient.
The LMH0002MAX/NOPB is housed in a small 16-lead WQFN package that measures just 4mm x 4mm, making it a compact solution for space-constrained applications. The device operates over the full industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of environments. Furthermore, the LMH0002MAX/NOPB is compliant with RoHS and Green standards, making it an environmentally friendly choice. The product also comes with the assurance of quality and reliability that Texas Instruments is known for, providing users with peace of mind.
