GS9029 GENLINXII Quad Output Serial Digital Cable Driver

The GS9029 is a second generation bipolar integrated circuit designed to drive four 75 co-axial cables. The GS9029 features two pairs of complementary outputs whose amplitude is controlled within 7.5%. The output signal levels are also adjustable from 50mVp-p up to 1000mVp-p with little change in other performance parameters. The amplitude of the output stage is varied by adjusting the RSET resistor value. The patented current mode outputs ensure superior output return loss and minimal over shoot. The rise/fall time circuitry allows wide range operation and provides symmetrical balanced outputs to reject power supply noise. In addition high output isolation ensures that the cable driver outputs are not affected by the performance or status of other outputs. Operational with input amplitudes as low as 80mV, the GS9029 provides a robust serial Interface By Gennum Corporation
