LMH0397: EQ/Cable

hiram zou
Prodigy 30 points
Part Number: LMH0397
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMH1297EVM

Tool/software:

Dears

LMH0397 datasheet shows when it work as a receiver at EQ mode, cable length can reach 200m at 2.97Gbps (with Belden1694A cabel)

Refer Belden1694A datasheet，the cabel attenuation at 1.5GHz is 7.8dB/100ft (25.7dB/100m)

Q1:

Can we evaluate the LMH0397 EQ mode could work at maxium 51.4dB cable attenuation condition ?

In our project ,want to use a 20m RG179 cabel (total attenuation is 21dB) .Is it available ？

Q2:

If SDI_Out is enabled, use second 75Ω driver as loop-through output in EQ mode, how much affect on cable reach length ? 

Thanks

    Hi Hiram,

    Yes with Belden1694 we have validated the EQ is enough to compensate 200m (51.4dB). If your cable is 21dB LMH0397 should work.

    I do not see test data on this, so I recommend using the EVM or IBIS model to validate. Similar to this E2E, the LMH1297EVM (or IBIS Model) can be used to show performance on LMH0397 up to 3Gbps.

    Best,
