GS6081-INTE3Z

Video Processing Overview

The GS6081-INTE3Z is a high-speed BiCMOS integrated circuit designed to drive one to four 75 Ohms coaxial cables. It supports data rates up to 5.94Gb/s and provides two selectable slew rates for SMPTE ST 424, SMPTE ST 292, and SMPTE ST 259 compliance. The device features dual differential coaxial-cable-driving outputs with adjustable output swing from 500mVpp to 1040mVpp. It operates on a +3.3V or +2.5V power supply with 135mW consumption at +2.5V. The component is housed in a small footprint QFN package (4mm x 4mm) and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Video Processing Feature Summary

• Supports multi-rate operation from 270Mb/s to 5.94Gb/s with automatic compliance to major broadcast video standards.
• Features input signal trace equalization and robust signal presence detection for enhanced signal integrity.
• Provides independent disable controls for each output channel to manage power and signal routing efficiently.

Video Processing Applications

• Driving 75 Ohms coaxial cables in broadcast video systems
• UHD-SDI signal distribution networks
• Professional video equipment requiring low jitter transmission

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix INTE3Z corresponds to the tape and reel packaging configuration containing 2500 pieces as documented in official ordering codes. Confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free status align with project requirements. Ensure the QFN-40 or equivalent small footprint package matches the PCB layout constraints. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and current availability status before finalizing procurement orders.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component when driving multiple 75 Ohm coaxial cables is required for 6G UHD-SDI applications. The dual-output architecture simplifies board design compared to single-output variants. Consider the 135mW power consumption at +2.5V for thermal management planning. The integrated trace equalization reduces external component count. Verify that the 4mm x 4mm QFN package fits the available space on the target printed circuit board.

Video Processing Part Context

This device belongs to Semtech’s cable driver line supporting demanding broadcast applications including 6G UHD-SDI. It complements other multi-rate drivers like the GS6080 and GS2988 series. The product family emphasizes low jitter reclocking and advanced signal integrity diagnostics. It serves as a key component in professional video infrastructure where signal fidelity over coaxial links is critical.

Video Processing Replacement Considerations

The GS6080 is a single-output variant drop-in compatible with the GS2988 but may not directly replace the dual-output GS6081 without schematic changes. No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for the GS6081-INTE3Z in available documentation. Evaluate pinout compatibility if considering alternative vendors.
