DESCRIPTION
The GS9024 is a high performance automatic cable equalizer designed for serial digital data rates from 143Mb/s to 540Mb/s. The GS9024 receives either single-ended or differential serial data and outputs equalized differential signals at PECL levels (800mV). The GS9024 provides up to 40dB of gain at 200MHz which will typically result in equalization of greater than 350m at 270Mb/s of Belden 8281 cable.

FEATURES
• automatic cable equalization
• fully compatible with SMPTE 259M
• typically equalizes greater than 350m of high quality cable at 270Mb/s
• signal strength indicator
• output data muting when input data is lost
• output eye monitor (OEM) with large signal amplitude and power down option
• low power: 240mW at 5V
• 14 pin SOIC package
• programmable output data squelch for max cable length limiting
• carrier detect with programmable threshold level
• serial data output "High Z" select to allow muxing of EQ inputs

APPLICATIONS
    Front-end cable equalization for digital video systems; Input equalization for serial digital distribution amplifiers, routers, production switchers and other receiving equipment.
