GS6150-INE3

Video Processing Overview

The GS6150-INE3 is a low-power, multi-rate serial digital reclocker designed to automatically recover the embedded clock from a digital video signal and re-time the incoming data. It supports SMPTE ST 2081, ST 424, ST 292, and ST 259-C standards, as well as DVB-ASI signals. The device features four high-speed differential inputs with on-chip 100Ω termination and a patented 4:1 input selector. It operates at rates including 125Mb/s, 270Mb/s, 1.485/1.485/1.001Gb/s, 2.97/2.97/1.001Gb/s, and 5.94/5.94/1.001Gb/s. Typical power consumption is 130mW at 1.8V.

Video Processing Feature Summary

• Features a patented 4:1 input selector for managing multiple independent video or data streams.
• Includes programmable trace equalization to compensate for PCB trace dielectric losses.
• Supports automatic or manual rate selection with detected rate indication in auto mode.
• Provides two configurable CML outputs with adjustable swing and de-emphasis capabilities.

Video Processing Applications

• SMPTE ST 2081, ST 424, ST 292, and ST 259-C coaxial cable serial digital interfaces
• EN50083-9 DVB-ASI interfaces
• MADI standard audio applications

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix INE3 corresponds to the specific tray packaging configuration of 490 pieces as documented in official Semtech ordering information. Confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free status through the manufacturer's datasheet before procurement. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component when system design requires a multi-rate reclocker with four differential inputs and a 4:1 switching capability. It is suitable for applications needing integrated trace equalization and low power consumption at 1.8V. Consider its compatibility with external reference clocks or referenceless operation based on lock time requirements.

Video Processing Part Context

The GS6150 belongs to the Gennum product line acquired by Semtech Corporation. It is part of a family of multi-rate serial digital reclockers designed for broadcast and professional AV infrastructure. This specific model addresses the need for robust signal retiming across various SDI standards up to 6G UHD-SDI.

Video Processing FAQ

Can the GS6150 operate without an external reference crystal?

Yes, the device can operate referencelessly, though using an external 27MHz reference may provide faster signal lock times.

What is the function of the GPIO pins on the GS6150?

The four GPIO pins are configurable to output device status signals such as Lock Detect, Loss of Signal (LOS), and Low/High bit-rate indication.
