GS2985-INE3

Video Processing Overview

The GS2985-INE3 is a multi-rate serial digital reclocker designed to automatically recover embedded clocks from digital video signals and retime incoming data. It supports SMPTE-424M, SMPTE 292M, and SMPTE 259M-C compliant signals. The device features four channels and operates with supply voltages of 2.5 V or 3.3 V. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a QFN-64 package for surface mount installation.

Video Processing Feature Summary

• Automatically recovers embedded clock signals from digital video inputs
• Retimes incoming video data for signal integrity
• Supports multiple SDI standards including 3G formats

Video Processing Applications

• Evaluation of 3G video reclocking systems
• Digital video signal processing in broadcast equipment
• System integration testing using associated equalizers and cable drivers

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status before procurement, as the component is marked as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Confirm that the specific INE3 suffix matches the required packaging and material specifications for your manufacturing process. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs given the discontinued status.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component only if the design already incorporates the GS2985 architecture or requires legacy support for SMPTE 292M and 259M-C standards. Consider the NRND status when planning long-term production runs. Verify that the QFN-64 package footprint aligns with the PCB layout constraints and thermal requirements of the target application.

Video Processing Part Context

This part belongs to the Semtech GS2985 series of video ICs. It is often evaluated alongside companion components such as the GS2984 equalizers and GS2988 cable drivers within dedicated evaluation packages like the EB-GS2985-Q. The series focuses on serial digital interface signal conditioning and reclocking for professional video applications.

Video Processing Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the NRND status, alternative solutions should be sourced directly from the manufacturer's current portfolio or through authorized distributors for surplus stock verification.
