Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMH0302, DS30BA101
Hi,
I plan to use the LMH0303 cable driver to drive a 50R cable rather than 75R. This is for a video application running at 2.97Gbps, but with a bespoke protocol (i.e. it's not 3G-SDI, but it is line balanced)
From the Application Circuit in the data-sheet, I guess I need to change the termination resistors on the SDO outputs from 75R to 50R.
I also assume I would also need to change the value of RREF from the nominal 750R to ensure I maintain the 800mV amplitude on the line, but there is no indication what the value required for a 50R cable may be.
So my questions are:
1) Is this a valid application for this device?
2) How do I calculate the required value for RREF?
Thanks
Dave
