GS12182-INE3

Video Processing Overview

The GS12182-INE3 is a low-power, multi-rate re-timing cable driver supporting data rates up to 12G UHD-SDI, inclusive of 10GbE. It features dual inputs and outputs with on-chip termination, designed to receive 100Ω differential signals, recover embedded clocks, and transmit over 75Ω coaxial cables. Operating at 1.8V, it consumes 15mA current within a -40°C to +85°C range. Packaged in a QFN-40 SMD/SMT format, it supports SMPTE ST 2082-1, ST 2081-1, ST 424, ST 292-1, and ST 259 standards.

Video Processing Feature Summary

• Dual input/output re-timing cable driver with integrated 2:1 input selector and on-chip termination
• Integrated 3D input signal eye monitor for non-disruptive mission mode analysis
• Configurable pre-emphasis and swing controls to compensate for trace and connector losses
• Automatic and user-selectable output slew rate control for each cable driver output

Video Processing Applications

• 12G UHD-SDI signal distribution systems
• Multi-standard video transmission infrastructure
• 10GbE data retiming applications
• Professional broadcast equipment requiring high-speed signal integrity

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix INE3 against official Semtech documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts, as this component is pin-compatible with the GS12181, GS12281, GS12081, and GS3281 series. Confirm moisture sensitivity levels and storage requirements prior to assembly.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel retiming with integrated cable driving capabilities is required for 12G UHD-SDI or 10GbE signals. It is suitable for designs needing on-chip termination and advanced signal monitoring via the built-in eye diagram analyzer. Consider its pin compatibility with single-input variants if future design flexibility is needed.

Video Processing Part Context

Part of the GS12182 family of 12G UHD-SDI multi-rate re-timing cable drivers. Designed for professional video and data transmission environments where signal integrity over long traces or coaxial cables is critical. Supports various SMPTE standards and includes features like PRBS generation/checking for comprehensive signal testing.

Video Processing Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible substitutes include GS12181, GS12281, GS12081, and GS3281. Verify functional differences, such as single versus dual inputs, before substitution.
