Application Brief: 3.3V Cable Driver And Equalizer Drive Mega-Bits @ Many Meters

摘要

Transmitting data over long distances is necessary in a wide range of applications. These include telecom and video electrical interfaces running at data rates of up to 400 Mbps over appreciable distances. Long-haul data transmission is easily accomplished with existing devices. The new CLC001 cable driver, CLC012 cable equalizer, and CLC016 data retiming PLL form a robust serial digital interface that transmits megabits of data over hundreds of meters. Figure 1 shows a typical SDI application.
