Reclocking Deserializer with a Serial Loop-through Cable Driver

Overview

The GS1559 is a reclocking deserializer with a serial loop-through cable driver.

When used in conjunction with the GS1574 Automatic Cable Equalizer and the GO1555/GO1525* Voltage Controlled Oscillator, a receive solution can be realized for HD-SDI, SD-SDI and DVB-ASI applications.In addition to reclocking and deserializing the input data stream, the GS1559 performs NRZI-to-NRZ decoding, descrambling as per SMPTE 292M/259M-C, and word alignment when operating in SMPTE mode. When operating in DVB-ASI mode, the device will word align the data to K28.5 sync characters and 8b/10b decode the received stream.

Two serial digital input buffers are provided with a 2x1 multiplexer to allow the device to select from one of two serial digital input signals.

The integrated reclocker features a very wide Input Jitter Tolerance of ±0.3 UI (total 0.6 UI), a rapid asynchronous lock time, and full compliance with DVB-ASI data streams.

An integrated cable driver is provided for serial input loop-through applications and can be selected to output either buffered or reclocked data. This cable driver also features an output mute on loss of signal, high impedance mode, adjustable signal swing, and automatic dual slew-rate selection depending on HD/SD operational requirements.
