DESCRIPTION
The GS9028 is a second generation bipolar integrated
circuit designed to drive two 75Ω co-axial cables.
GS9028
The GS9028 features two complementary outputs whose
amplitude is controlled within ± 7%. The output signal levels
are also adjustable from as low as 50mV to as high as
1000mV with little change in other performance parameters.
The output amplitude of the output stage is varied by
adjusting the R
SET
resistor value.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
INPUT INTERFACING
SDI/SDI are high impedance differential inputs. Two
conditions must be observed when interfacing to these
inputs:
1. The input signal amplitude must be between 80mV and
1000mV.
2. The common mode voltage range must be as specified
in the DC Characteristics Table (page 2). For 800mV
input amplitude signals, this corresponds to a common
mode voltage range between 2.8 and 4.6 volts.
Figures 6 and 7 illustrate two methods of interfacing the
GS9028 to the Gennum GS9024 (Cable Equalizer), GS9035
(Reclocker) or the GS9025 (Receiver).
Figure 6 illustrates the simplest interface and is
recommended when the trace lengths between the driver
and the GS9028 are less than 0.5in. The pull up resistors
should be placed near the GS9028 to serve as end
terminations.

The GS9028 can also be configured to accept ac coupled
input signals. In this case, the inputs must be dc biased as
illustrated in Figure 8.

When trace lengths become longer than 0.5in and data
rates greater than 360Mb/s, electromagnetic reflections
begin to affect signal integrity. To minimize reflections,
controlled impedance traces and source and end
terminations should be used as shown in Figure 7. Although
terminations on both sides reduce the signal swing by a
factor of two, the GS9028 is designed to meet this need
with ultra low input amplitude requirements (as low as
80mV). This low input amplitude requirement also allows the
use of 50Ω transmission lines (which are more robust and
easier to control in multilayer boards) to interconnect the
GS9024/25/35 and the GS9028.
where Z

is the transmission line characteristic impedance.
For 75Ω cable, R1 = 100Ω and R2 = 287Ω.

coupled outputs.
