GS6080-INE3

Overview

The GS6080-INE3 is a video IC cable driver manufactured by Semtech, designed for multi-rate SDI applications. It operates on 2.5 V or 3.3 V supplies with a typical current draw of 56 mA. The device supports SMD/SMT installation in a QFN-16 package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Power dissipation is rated at 135 mW or 185 mW depending on conditions. Supply voltage limits are defined between 2.375 V and 3.465 V. This component serves as a high-speed serializer output stage for digital video transmission.

Feature Summary

• Supports multi-rate operation for various SDI standards including UHD-SDI
• Integrated cable driver functionality for signal integrity maintenance
• Compatible with standard serial interface protocols

Applications

• UHD-SDI video transmission systems
• Professional broadcast equipment
• Digital video infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'INE3' against official Semtech documentation to confirm lead-free and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact tape-and-reel packaging quantity specified in the manufacturer's latest datasheet. Cross-reference the Mouser part number 947-GS6080-INE3 with the original manufacturer's catalog to validate authenticity and current production status before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-output cable driver is required for multi-rate SDI signals. Compare power dissipation ratings of 135 mW versus 185 mW against thermal constraints. Verify that the QFN-16 package footprint aligns with the PCB layout requirements. Confirm compatibility with 2.5 V or 3.3 V system voltages.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GS6080 series of video ICs from Semtech. It is functionally related to the GS6081-INTE3, which offers dual outputs instead of single. Both devices share similar operational characteristics but differ in channel count and power consumption profiles. The GS6080 series targets professional video transmission needs requiring robust signal driving capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

GS6081-INTE3 is a documented alternative offering dual outputs. Verify if the additional channel is necessary or if it introduces unnecessary complexity. Check pinout compatibility and power supply requirements between the single-output GS6080 and dual-output GS6081 variants.
