3 Description
The LMH0318 is a 3 Gbps HD/SD SDI Reclocker with
Integrated Cable Driver designed to drive serial video
data compatible to SMPTE-SDI and DVB-ASI
standards. The clock and data recovery circuit eliminates accumulated jitter and detects the
incoming data rate without requiring an external
reference clock. The integrated driver with 75 ohm
and 50 ohm outputs enables multiple media options
such as coax and FR4 PCB.
