GS2964-INTE3Z

Video Processing Overview

The GS2964-INTE3Z is a short-reach, adaptive cable equalizer from Semtech's GS2964 series. It supports multi-standard operation with data rates ranging from 143 Mb/s to 2.97 Gb/s, optimized for 270 Mb/s, 1.485 Gb/s, and 2.97 Gb/s signals. The device operates on a single 3.465 V supply with typical power dissipation of 215 mW. It is housed in a compact QFN-16 package suitable for surface mount installation. The component functions as a high-speed BiCMOS integrated circuit designed to extend signal reach over copper cables.

Video Processing Feature Summary

• Adaptive equalization technology compensates for signal loss in copper cabling
• Multi-standard support for various SDI video transmission rates
• Compact QFN-16 package design for space-constrained applications

Video Processing Applications

• Short-reach 3G-SDI signal distribution
• Video equipment interconnects requiring signal restoration
• Broadcast infrastructure cable extension systems

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix INTE3Z against official Semtech documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with system voltage requirements of 3.465 V. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm pinout consistency with existing designs. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer certification documents prior to integration.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component when extending signal integrity over short distances without full retiming capabilities. The adaptive nature eliminates manual EQ adjustments. Compare against retimers if long-distance transmission or clock recovery is required. Evaluate thermal performance within the QFN-16 enclosure relative to board layout constraints.

Video Processing Part Context

This part belongs to the GS2964 series of video ICs manufactured by Semtech. It serves as a cost-optimized solution for extending 3G-SDI signals up to 100 meters using standard coaxial cables like Belden 1694A. It complements other series such as GS2989 which offer different channel counts or functionalities.

Video Processing Replacement Considerations

Consult Semtech official cross-reference guides for verified substitutes. Generic equalizers may lack the specific adaptive algorithms or SDI standard optimizations of the GS2964.
