GS2986 Multi-Rate SDI Reclocker with Equalization & De-emphasis
Features
Description
•
•
•
•
The GS2986 is a multi-rate serial digital reclocker designed to
automatically recover the embedded clock from a digital video
signal and retime the incoming video data. It will recover the
embedded clock signal and retime the data from a SMPTE 424M,
SMPTE 292M, or SMPTE 259M-C compliant digital video signal.

SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 259M-C compliant
Supports DVB-ASI at 270Mb/s
Single supply operation at 3.3V or 2.5V
180mW typical power consumption (213mW with RCO
enabled) at 2.5V
Input signal equalization and output-signal de-emphasis
settings to compensate for board-trace dielectric losses
4:1 input multiplexer patented technology
Choice of dual reclocked data outputs or one reclocked data
output and one clock output

•
Auto and Manual modes for rate selection
Standards indication in Auto mode
Lock Detect Output
Mute, Bypass and Autobypass functions
SD/HD indication output to control GS2978 or GS2988 dual
slew-rate cable drivers
Operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C
Small footprint QFN package (6mm x 6mm)
Pb-free and RoHS compliant

A serial host interface provides the ability to configure and
monitor multiple GS2986 devices in a daisy-chain configuration.
Adjustable input trace equalization (EQ) for up to 40” of FR4 trace
losses, and adjustable output de-emphasis (DE) for up to 20” of
FR4 trace losses, can be configured via the host interface.
The GS2986 can operate in either auto or manual rate selection
mode. In Auto mode, the device will automatically detect and lock
onto incoming SMPTE SDI data signals at any supported rate. For
single rate data systems, the GS2986 can be configured to operate
in Manual mode. In both modes, the device requires only one
external crystal to set the VCO frequency when not locked and
provides adjustment free operation.
The GS2986 accepts industry-standard differential input levels
including LVPECL and CML. The differential data and clock
outputs feature selectable output swing via the host interface,
ensuring compatibility with most industry-standard, terminated
differential receivers.
The GS2986 features dual differential outputs. The second output
can be configured to emit either the recovered clock signal or the
re-timed video data. This output can also be disabled to save
power.
In systems which require passing of non-SMPTE data rates, the
GS2986 can be configured to either automatically or manually
enter a bypass mode in order to pass the signal without reclocking.
The GS2986 is Pb-free, and the encapsulation compound does not
contain halogenated flame retardant. This component and all
homogeneous sub-components are RoHS compliant.

1.3 Default Start-up Settings
The GS2986 has some functions that are not accessible via direct pin control, and are only
accessible through the host interface registers. These functions have an internal pull-up or
pull-down resistor that sets the default logic level or start-up state, if it is not already set by
a pin.
If the user wishes to override these logic levels, the associated bit should be programmed
within the PIN_OR_1 register (pin override register) at address 0x0C. The logic values
within the PIN_OR_1 register become active when the user sets the Pin Override Enable bit
to HIGH within that same register.
Table 1-2 shows:
1. The default logic state set by the internal pull-up or pull-down resistors.
2. The default values within the Pin Override register upon reset.
More details are given in Section 4.15.

4. Detailed Description
The GS2986 is a multi-standard reclocker for serial digital SDTV signals operating at 270Mb/s,
and HDTV signals operating at 1.485Gb/s, 1.485/1.001Gb/s, 2.97Gb/s and 2.97/1.001Gb/s.
4.1 Serial Data Input
The GS2986 features four differential input buffers.
The serial data input signal is connected to the DDI0/DDI0, DDI1/DDI1, DDI2/DDI2 and
DDI3/DDI3 input pins of the device.
Input signals can be single-ended or differential, DC or AC-coupled.
The input circuit is self-biasing, to allow for simple AC or DC-coupling of input signals to the
device.
4.2 Modes of Operation
The GS2986 has two modes of operation: Legacy Mode (HIF = HIGH) and SPI Mode (HIF = LOW).
In Legacy Mode, chip functions are controlled via pins only, and offers limited control of input
Equalization.
In SPI mode, access is gained to extended digital controls like: Bypass, Autobypass,
Auto/Manual selection, Control status inputs or outputs, changes to KBB settings, additional EQ
and DE settings as well as access to additional features such as LOS adjustment, polarity invert,
auto-mute, etc.
4.3 Input Trace Equalization
The GS2986 features adjustable trace equalization to compensate for PCB trace dielectric losses
at 1.5GHz.
The trace equalization has three peak-gain settings. The maximum peak gain value is optimized
for compensating the high-frequency losses associated with 25 inches of 5-mil stripline in FR4
material. For boards with different striplines or materials, users can experiment to find the EQ
setting which optimizes their system performance.
These settings are accessible via the serial host interface.
Each serial digital input; DDI, DDI includes a pin EQn_EN to turn its trace equalizer on or off.
When a pin EQn_EN is tied LOW or left unconnected, the trace equalization for input n is set to
LOW.
When an EQn_EN pin is tied HIGH, and input n is selected, the trace equalization for input n is
set to Medium.

The default peak-gain setting upon power-up is optimized for compensating the
high-frequency losses associated with approximately 10 inches of 5-mil stripline in FR4
material.
The EQn_EN pins are multiplexed with the serial host interface pins when pin HIF is tied high,
as shown in Table 4-2:

CS/EQ3_EN
Active-high logic input to enable trace-equalization for high-speed input channel 3.
4.4 4:1 Input Mux
The GS2986 incorporates a 4:1 input mux, which allows the connection of four independent
streams of video/data. There are four differential inputs (DDI[3:0] / DDI[3:0]). The active channel
can be selected via the DDI_SEL[1:0] pins as shown in Table 4-3.

DDI3
The DDI_SEL pins include internal pulldowns which pull the input voltage LOW if either pin is
unconnected. Active circuitry associated with the input buffers and trace EQ can only be turned
on for the selected input. Inputs which are not selected have their input buffers and trace EQs
turned OFF to save power. Unused inputs can be either left floating, or tied to VCC.

4.5 Crystal Buffer
The GS2986 features a crystal buffer supporting a Gennum recommended external 27MHz
crystal. The GS2986 requires an external 27MHz reference clock for correct operation. This
reference clock is generated by connecting a crystal to the XTAL- and XTAL+ pins of the device.
Alternately, a 27MHz external clock source can be connected to the XTAL- pin of the device,
while the XTAL+ pin should be left floating.
4.6 LOS (Loss Of Signal) Detection
The LOS (Loss Of Signal) status pin is an active-high output that indicates when the serial digital
input signal selected at the 4:1 input mux is invalid. In order for this output to be asserted,
transitions must not be present for a period of tLA = 5 - 10μs. After this output has been asserted,
LOS will de-assert within tLD = 0 - 5μs after the appearance of a transition at the DDIx input. See
Figure 4-1.
This signal is HIGH (signal lost), when the number of data edges within a window is below a
defined threshold. The output is automatically muted when LOS is detected.
This signal is LOW (signal valid), when the number of data edges within a window is above a
defined threshold. See Table 4-4.

Figure 4-1: LOS Signal Timing
The LOS detector has two major modes. In legacy mode, a simple edge-based detector is used to
monitor the received signal at the output of the data slicer. Since the incoming signal has
undergone considerable gain by this point, the legacy detector can be more susceptible to false
de-assertion of LOS for unused channels which experience significant cross-talk from adjacent
active channels.

The new LOS detector uses a measure of both signal amplitude and duration to minimize false
detection of the impulse like signals that are characteristic of cross-talk. In this mode, the signal
is tapped off at the output of the equalizer stage, prior to the high gain buffers.
The threshold setting within the detector can be adjusted to increase or decrease its sensitivity.
Gennum recommends using the least sensitive threshold level. This provides the most margin
against false de-assertion of LOS.
