Description
The GS2988 is a high-speed BiCMOS integrated circuit designed to drive one to two 75Ω coaxial cables.
The GS2988 may drive data rates up to 2.97Gb/s and provides two selectable slew rates in order to achieve compliance to SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 259M.
The GS2988 accepts industry-standard differential input levels including LVPECL and CML.
