Hello, the LMH1218 is a very compelling product for which I was hoping to gain a little insight into the drive strength of the 100-Ohm Diff. outputs. I understand the typical application for the 100-Ohm Diff outputs is to drive an optical module, SFP, or simple FR4 traces, all of which would not require much of a "cable driver" like output, and therefore might be very weak as compared to a typical Cable Driver output. However, for my application, I would like to use these 100-Ohm Diff outputs for transmitting 3G/HD-SDI over several meters of UTP cabling, which does require a significantly stronger output driving stage (something equivalent to the LMH0307 for instance).
Thank you for your time and any insight you can offer on these specifications.
