GS9024-CTBE3

Video Processing Overview

The GS9024-CTBE3 is a high-performance automatic cable equalizer designed for serial digital data rates ranging from 143 Mb/s to 540 Mb/s. It accepts single-ended or differential serial data inputs and provides equalized differential signals at PECL levels with an amplitude of 800 mV. The device delivers up to 40 dB of gain at 200 MHz, typically equalizing over 350 meters of Belden 8281 cable at 270 Mb/s. Power consumption is 240 mW at 5 V. It features a signal strength indicator, output data muting upon input loss, and an output eye monitor (OEM) with power-down options.

Video Processing Feature Summary

• Automatic cable equalization compatible with SMPTE 259M standards
• Output data muting functionality when input data is lost
• Integrated output eye monitor with large signal amplitude and power down option
• Programmable output data squelch for maximum cable length limiting

Video Processing Applications

• Front-end cable equalization for digital video systems
• Input equalization for serial digital distribution amplifiers
• Input equalization for routers and production switchers

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CTBE3 against official Gennum documentation to confirm lead-free and halogen-free compliance status. Ensure the package type matches the required 14-pin SOIC footprint. Confirm that the operating voltage and PECL output levels align with the target system design requirements before procurement.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring automatic equalization of serial digital video signals up to 540 Mb/s. It is suitable for environments needing robust signal restoration over long coaxial runs. Consider the 5 V supply requirement and PECL output interface compatibility with downstream logic or drivers.

Video Processing Part Context

The GS9024-CTBE3 belongs to the GS9024 family of automatic cable equalizers manufactured by Gennum Corporation. It is specifically engineered for serial digital video applications, providing high-gain equalization to compensate for signal attenuation in coaxial cables. The part is designed to maintain signal integrity in professional video distribution networks.

Video Processing Replacement Considerations

The GS9024-CKB, GS9024-CKBE3, GS9024-CTB, and GS9024 are listed as similar parts within the same product family. Verify pinout and electrical specifications against the datasheet to ensure functional equivalence before substitution.
