LMH1983 for 12G SDI with Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale FPGA

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMH1983, LMH1981, LMK03328

Hello,

My customer has a question about LMH1983.

[Background]

My customer want to use LMH1983 for 12G SDI with Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale FPGA.

Their requirements as follows.

  • Input : FVH from LMH1981 (Sync Separator)
  • Outputs : Video Clock (148.5MHz, 148.5/1.001M : LVDS), Audio Clock doesn't use.

I read the following post.

  Title : 12G Config. I/O

I understood that LMH1983 can be used for 12G SDI with Arria FPGAs and Xilinx FPGAs.

However, I think the performance of LMH1983 does not meet the Kintex ultrascale FPGA specifications.

Kintex ultrascale specifications as follows.

Please refer to page 48 Table 52 of "ds892-kintex-ultrascale-data-sheet".

When it's normalized by 148.5MHz about QPLLrefclkmask, it's as follows.

10kHz offset : -114.5dBc/Hz

100kHz offset : -130.5dBc/Hz

1MHz offset : -136.5dBc/Hz

I plotted the phase noise mask in Figure 4 of LMH1983 datasheet.

[Q]

I think  the performance of LMH1983 (PLL2 & PLL3) does not meet the Kintex ultrascale FPGA specifications.

How do you think ?

My plan is as follows.

LMH1981 -> LMH1983 (only use PLL1 for Genlock Jitter cleaner) -> LMK03328 or LMK0482xB or LMK0480xB or LMK03806B (Generate Video Clock)

How do you think ?

Do you have any good ideas for this matter ?

Best Regards,
