SDI Alternatives

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMH1219, LMH1297

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for alternatives from TI for the IC's listed below..

Is there anything that matches in the LMH family?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Kavita

  • Hi Kavita,

    Please note comments below:

    1). GS12170: This is SDI to HDMI bridge.  At TI we do not have a similar part.  AJA or BlackMagic design typically use FPGA plus our SDI parts to do this function. This approach provide a more flexibility in supporting different video format. 

    2). GS12341: LMH1219 is functionally compatible with this part and provides additional feature such as 10GbE retiming. However, this part is not pin for pin compatible.

    3). GS12190: LMH1297 has similar functionality and more(please note SDI loop-through output).

  • Hi Nasser,

    Thank you for supporting me!

    1.) GS12170: What SDI parts from TI are used with the FPGA's in these designs?

    2.) GS12341: Noted, thank you.

    3.) GS12190: Noted, Is this part pin to pin compatible?

    Best regards,

  • Hi Kavita,

    1). LMH1297 can be used on either input side(equalizer) or output( cable driver side).

    3). These are not pin compatible.

    Are these parts getting obsoleted?

  • Hi Nasser,

    1.) Noted, thank you.

    3.) I figured but still wanted to confirm, thank you.

    Not that I know.

    Thank you for supporting.
