GS9008ACKA

Overview

The GS9008ACKA is a bipolar integrated circuit from the GENLINX family, functioning as a cable driver with two adjustable outputs. It is designed to drive two 75 Ω coaxial cables at data rates exceeding 400 Mb/s. The device accepts SMPTE and standard ECL input levels and operates from a single +5 or -5 volt supply. Key electrical characteristics include nominal 600 ps rise and fall times, on-chip DC restoration for low jitter, and 170 mW power dissipation. Output amplitude is adjustable from 0 to 1100 mVp-p into 75 Ω loads.

Feature Summary

• Provides two adjustable outputs capable of driving 75 Ω coaxial cables at high speeds.
• Incorporates on-chip DC restoration to ensure low jitter performance.
• Interfaces directly with other GENLINX devices and accepts SMPTE/ECL inputs.
