SD/HD/3G-SDI Serializer/Deserializer Benefits:
Include all the SMPTE digital video and analog processing to off-load the FPGA from doing any “heavy lifting” e.g., SMPTE scrambling, CRC & line
number insert, raster support, ANC insertion and serialization
Embedded /de-embedded audio functionality such as AES, I2S and serial audio formats
XXXXXX
Integrated PLL with narrow loop bandwidth to meet the SMPTE output jitter specs
GS2972 input PCLK can reject up to 300ps of jitter
SMPTE output jitter requirements are <= 0.3 UI and IJT >= 0.5UI. The GS29xxx chipsets have output jitter = 0.2 UI max and IJT = 0.7 UI min
1.8V I/O helps to reduce EMI with SSTL resistors that can be controlled to reduce the speed of the rising and falling signal edges
10 or 20 bit DDR interface to eliminate the need for internal level shifting inside the FPGA
3G-SDI deserializer with integrated equalizer – GS2971A
If embedded audio functionality is not required then Gennum’s GS2962/GS2960A 3G-SDI SerDes chipset is the ideal alternative
GS2961A deserializer without audio de-embed comes with integrated SD/HD/3G-SDI equalizer
If 3G-SDI SerDes Performance is not required then consider Gennum’s SD/HD only SDI Serializer/Deserializers
Gennum’s newest GS1672/GS1671A and GS1662/GS1661A SD/HD SerDes chipsets are fully compliant with SMPTE 259M-C and
SMPTE 292M and DVB-ASI

LT3511 - Monolithic High Voltage Isolated
Flyback Converter
Significantly simplifies the design of an isolated DC/DC converter - no optocoupler,
third winding or signal transformer are required for feedback
The LT3511 is a high voltage monolithic switching regulator specifically designed for the isolated flyback
topology. No third winding or opto-isolator is required for regulation as the part senses output voltage
directly from the primary-side flyback waveform. The device integrates a 240mA, 150V power switch, high
voltage circuitry, and control into a high voltage 16-lead MSOP package with four leads removed.
The LT3511 operates from an input voltage range of 4.5V to 100V and delivers up to 2.5W of isolated output
power. Two external resistors and the transformer turns ratio easily set the output voltage. Off-the-shelf
transformers are available for several applications. The high level of integration and the use of boundary
mode operation results in a simple, clean, tightly regulated application solution to the traditionally tough
problem of isolated power delivery.
