 GS2994/GS2993…these are not just any
SD/HD/3G-SDI Adaptive Equalizers
Audio / Video

These are Gennum’s 4th-generation SD/HD/3G adaptive cable equalizers

The GS2994 and GS2993 are high-speed BiCMOS integrated circuits designed to equalize and restore signals received over 75Ω coaxial cable. The devices
are designed to support SMPTE 424M, SMPTE292M and SMPTE 259M, and is optimized for performance at 270Mb/s, 1.485Gb/s and 2.97Gb/s. The GS2994
and GS2993 feature DC restoration to compensate for the DC content of SMPTE pathological test patterns.

The Carrier Detect output pin (CD) indicates whether a valid input signal has been detected. It can be connected directly to the SLEEP pin to enable automatic
power-down upon loss of carrier. A voltage programmable threshold, which can be changed via the SQ_ADJ pin, forces CD high when the input signal
amplitude falls below the threshold. This allows the GS2994 and GS2993 to distinguish between low-amplitude SDI signals and noise at the input of the
device.

The equalizing and DC restore stages are disengaged when the BYPASS pin is HIGH. No equalization occurs in Bypass mode. The GS2994 and GS2993 include
a gain selection pin (GAIN_SEL) which, when tied HIGH, compensates for 6Db flat attenuation. The differential outputs can be DC-coupled to Gennum 3.3V
cable drivers and reclockers and to industry-standard 1.2V, 2.5V and 3.3V using the VCC_O pin for the GS2994 and the OP_CTL pins for the GS2993.

LTC4425 - Linear SuperCap Charger with Current-
Limited Ideal Diode and V/I Monitor
Programmable 2A 2-Cell Supercap Charger with Automatic Cell Balancing
in a Compact 9mm2 Package
The LTC®4425 is a constant-current/constant-voltage linear charger
designed to charge a 2-cell supercap stack from either a Li-Ion/
Polymer battery, a USB port, or a 2.7V to 5.5V current-limited supply.
The part operates as an ideal diode with an extremely low 50mΩ
on-resistance making it suitable for high peak-power/low average
power applications. The LTC4425 charges the output capacitors to
an externally programmed output voltage in LDO mode at a constant
charge current, or to VIN in normal mode with a smart charge current
profile to limit the inrush current until the VIN to VOUT differential is
less than 250mV. In addition the LTC4425 can be set to clamp the
output voltage to 4.9V or 5.4V.

Charge current (VOUT current limit) is programmed by connecting

a resistor between PROG and GND. The voltage on the PROG pin
represents the current flowing from VIN to VOUT for current monitoring. An internal active balancing circuit maintains equal voltages across each supercapacitor
and clamps the peak voltage across each cell to a pin-selectable maximum value. The LTC4425 operates at a very low 20μA quiescent current (shutdown
current <3μA) and is available in a low profile 12-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN or a 12-lead MSOP package.

LTC3865 - Dual, 2-Phase Synchronous DC/DC

D C /D C C ontroller
Controller with Pin Selectable Outputs
1% Accurate Pin-Selectable Output Voltages

The LTC®3865/LTC3865-1 are high performance dual

synchronous step-down DC/DC switching regulator controllers
that drive all N‑channel synchronous power MOSFET stages.
A constant frequency current mode architecture allows a
phase-lockable frequency of up to 770kHz. Power loss and
noise are minimized by operating the two controller output
stages out of phase.

OPTI-LOOP® compensation allows the transient response

to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance
and ESR values. Independent track/soft-start pins for each
controller ramp the output voltage during start-up. Current
foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipation during short-
circuit conditions. The MODE/PLLIN pin selects among Burst
Mode® operation, pulse-skipping mode, and continuous
inductor current mode. The output voltages can be precisely
programmed by pin strapping or external resistors.

The LTC3865/LTC3865-1 are available in low profile (5mm ×

5mm) 32-pin QFN and 38-Lead thermally enhanced TSSOP
packages.

 MIC3201 - High Brightness LED Driver
The MIC3201 is a hysteretic step-down, constant-current, High-Brightness LED
LED D rivers

(HB LED) driver with High-Side Current Sense

The MIC3201 is a hysteretic step-down, constant-current, High-Brightness LED (HB LED) driver capable
of driving up to four, 1A LEDs. It provides an ideal solution for interior/exterior lighting, architectural and
ambient lighting, LED bulbs, and other general illumination applications.

The MIC3201 operates with an input voltage range from 6V to 20V. The hysteretic control gives good supply
rejection and fast response during load transients and PWM dimming. The high-side current sensing and
on-chip current sense amplifier delivers LED current with ±5% accuracy. An external high-side current
sense resistor is used to set the output current.

The MIC3201 offers a dedicated PWM input (DIM) which enables a wide range of pulsed dimming. A high
switching frequency operation up to 1MHz allows the use of smaller external components minimizing
space and cost.

The MIC3201 operates over a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is available in an 8-pin

 LT3032 - Dual 150mA Positive/Negative Low Noise

Linear R egulator
Low Dropout Linear Regulator
Dual Positive/Negative ±20VIN ±150mA LDO Offers 20µVRMS
The LT®3032 is a dual, low noise, positive and negative low dropout
voltage linear regulator. Each regulator delivers up to 150mA with a
typical 300mV dropout voltage. Each regulator’s quiescent current is
low (30μA operating and <3μA in shutdown) and well-controlled in
dropout, making it an excellent choice for battery-powered circuits.

Another key feature of the LT3032 is low output noise. Adding an

external 10nF bypass capacitor to each regulator reduces output
noise to 20μVRMS/30μVRMS over a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth. The
LT3032 is stable with minimum output capacitors of 2.2μF. The
regulators do not require the addition of ESR as is common with
other regulators.

Internal protection circuitry includes reverse output protection,

current limiting, and thermal limiting. Each regulator is offered as an
adjustable output device with an output voltage down to the ±1.22V
reference voltages.

The LT3032 is available in a unique low profile 14-lead 4mm × 3mm × 0.75mm DFN package with exposed backside pads for each regulator, allowing
optimum thermal performance.

 SigmaQuad-IITM and SigmaDDR-IITM SRAMs
GSI Technology now offers the highest density Type-II+
devices designed for higher speeds
Mem ory

By offering a 144Mbit density SRAM, GSI provides a memory upgrade path for 72Mbit designs. Existing SRAM memory
controllers can be reused with 144Mbit densities, which make for an easy design decision. With the simple addition of
an address signal you get double the density. The same package is used for both the 72Mbit and 144Mbit—15 mm x 17
mm 165 FBGA—which eliminates any footprint issue.

The 144Mbit family of SigmaQuad-II+ and SigmaDDR-II+ SRAMs achieve higher operating frequencies, in part, because they are designed with a longer
read pipeline. When described in terms of cycles of latency, Type-II SRAMs demonstrate a 1.5 cycle read latency, while Type-II+ SRAMs are offered with read
latencies of either 2.0 or 2.5 cycles. The multiple read latency selections allow designers more flexibility to optimize SRAM performance in their particular
applications. Type-II+ SRAMs also offer optional On-Die Termination (ODT) to improve signal integrity. ODT can be enabled or disabled via the ODT pin—a low
(0) disables ODT while a high (1) enables ODT.

requirements of in-house radio knowledge and any design
uncertainties.

The accompanying software driver works as the interface

between the TCP/IP stack in the host device and the module, is
available for Linux, WinCE and embedded systems and may be
adapted for any micro controller.

Features The interface to the module is either SPI (up to 80 MHz) or

SDIO (v2.0 up to 50 MHz). For easiest integration a version with
