3 Description
The LMH0344 3-Gbps HD – SD SDI Adaptive Cable
Equalizer is designed to equalize 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 2.97 Gbps and
supports ST 424, ST 292, ST 344, and ST 259.
The LMH0344 device implements DC restoration to
correctly handle pathological data conditions. 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.
For applications using the 4:4:4:4 10 bits video
format, the LMH0394 cable equalizer will provide
better performance.
The device is available in two space–saving
packages: a 4-mm × 4-mm 16-pin WQFN and even
more space-efficient 3-mm × 3-mm 25-ball CS-BGA
package.

The LMH0344 3-Gbps HD–SD SDI Adaptive Cable Equalizer is designed to equalize data transmitted over cable
or any other media with similar dispersive loss characteristics. The equalizer operates over a wide range of data
rates from 125 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps and supports ST 424, ST 292, ST 344, and ST 259.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Block Description
The Equalizer Filter block is a multistage adaptive filter. If BYPASS is high, the equalizer filter is disabled.
The DC Restoration / Level Control block receives the differential signals from the equalizer filter block. This
block incorporates a self-biasing DC restoration circuit to fully DC restore the signals. If BYPASS is high, this
function is disabled.
The signals before and after the DC Restoration / Level Control block are used to generate the Automatic
Equalization Control (AEC) signal. This control signal sets the gain and bandwidth of the equalizer filter. The
loop response in the AEC block is controlled by an external 1-µF capacitor placed across the AEC+ and AEC–
pins.
The Carrier Detect / Mute block generates the carrier detect signal and controls the mute function of the output.
This block uses the CD and MUTE signals along with Mute Reference (MUTEREF).
The Output Driver produces SDO and SDO.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 Mute Reference (MuteREF)
The mute reference sets the threshold for CD and (with CD tied to MUTE) determines the amount of cable to
equalize before automatically muting the outputs. This is set by applying a voltage inversely proportional to the
length of cable to equalize. The applied voltage must be greater than the MUTEREF floating voltage (typically 1.3
V) to change the CD threshold. As the applied MUTEREF voltage is increased, the amount of cable that can be
equalized before carrier detect is deasserted and the outputs are muted is decreased. MUTEREF may be left
unconnected or connected to ground for maximum equalization before muting.
7.3.3 Carrier Detect (CD) and Mute
Carrier detect CD indicates if a valid signal is present at the LMH0344 input. If MUTEREF is used, the carrier
detect threshold will be altered accordingly. CD provides a high voltage when no signal is present at the
LMH0344 input. CD is low when a valid input signal is detected.
MUTE can be used to manually mute or enable SDO and SDO. Applying a high input to MUTE will mute the
LMH0344 outputs by forcing the output to a logic zero. Applying a low input will force the outputs to be active.
CD and MUTE may be tied together to automatically mute the output when no input signal is present.
7.3.4 Input Interfacing
The LMH0344 accepts either differential or single-ended input. The input must be AC-coupled. Transformer
coupling is not supported.
The LMH0344 correctly handles equalizer pathological signals for standard definition and high definition serial
digital video, as described in SMPTE RP 178 and RP 198, respectively.
7.3.5 Output Interfacing
The SDO and SDO outputs are internally loaded with 50 Ω. These outputs produce a 750-mVP-P differential
output, or a 375-mVP-P single-ended output.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
The LMH0344 features can be programmed using pin mode only.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LMH0344 is a single channel 3 Gbps HD – SD SDI Adaptive Cable Equalizer designed to equalize 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 2.97 Gbps and supports ST 424, ST 292, ST 344, and ST 259.
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. The bypass pin allows the adaptive equalizer to be bypassed.
The LMH0344 accepts either a differential or single-ended input. The input must be AC-coupled. The LMH0344
correctly handles equalizer pathological signals for standard definition and high definition serial digital video, as
described in RP 178 and RP 198, respectively.

8.3 Dos and Don'ts
Pay special attention to the PCB layout for the high speed signals. The SMPTE organization specifies the
requirements for the Serial Digital Interface to transport digital video at SD, HD, and 3 Gbps data rates over
coaxial cables. One of the requirements is meeting the required Return Loss. This requirement specifies how
closely the port resembles 75-Ω impedance across a specified frequency band. The SMPTE specifications also
defines the use of AC-coupling capacitors for transporting uncompressed serial data streams with heavy low
frequency content. This specification requires the use of a 1 µF, AC-coupling capacitors on the input of the
LMH0344 to avoid low frequency DC wander.
9 Power Supply Recommendations
Follow these general guidelines when designing the power supply:
1. The power supply should be designed to provide the recommended operating conditions in terms of DC
voltage.
2. The maximum current draw for the LMH0344 is provided in the data sheet. This figure can be used to
calculate the maximum current the supply must provide.
3. The LMH0344 does not require any special power supply filtering, provided the recommended operating
conditions are met. Only standard supply decoupling is required.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
For information on layout and soldering of the WQFN package, please refer to the following application note: AN1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) (SNOA401).
The ST 424, 292, and 259 standards have stringent requirements for the input return loss of receivers, which
essentially specify how closely the input must resemble a 75-Ω network. Any non-idealities in the network
between the BNC and the equalizer will degrade the input return loss. Take care to minimize impedance
discontinuities between the BNC and the equalizer to ensure that the characteristic impedance of this trace is 75
Ω.
Please consider the following PCB recommendations:
• Use surface-mount components, and use the smallest components available. In addition, use the smallest
size component pads.
• Select trace widths that minimize the impedance mismatch between the BNC and the equalizer.
• Select a board stack up that supports both 75-Ω single-ended traces and 100-Ω loosely-coupled differential
traces.
• Place return loss components closest to the equalizer input pins.
• Maintain symmetry on the complementary signals.
• Route 100-Ω traces uniformly (keep trace widths and trace spacing uniform along the trace).
• Avoid sharp bends in the signal path; use 45° or radial bends.
• Place bypass capacitors close to each power pin, and use the shortest path to connect equalizer power and
ground pins to the respective power or ground planes.

10.2 Layout Example
Figure 6 and Figure 7 demonstrates the LMH0344EVM PCB layout. Ground and supply relief under the return
loss passive components and pads reduces parasitic - improving return loss performance. Note in Figure 7 that
the five vias between the four solder paste squares do not have solder paste. This practice improves both
thermal performance and soldering during board assembly.
