GS9064-CKD

Video Processing Overview

The GS9064-CKD is a second-generation high-speed bipolar integrated circuit manufactured by Gennum Corporation. It functions as a video equalizer IC designed to equalize and restore signals received over 75Ω coaxial cable at data rates up to 270 Mbps. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 3.1V to 3.5V and supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C. It is housed in a compact 16-SOIC surface-mount package, providing a solution for complex communication systems requiring serial SMPTE compliance.

Video Processing Feature Summary

• Equalizes and restores video signals transmitted over 75Ω coaxial cables
• Supports data rates up to 270 Mbps for high-speed applications
• Designed for serial SMPTE signal processing requirements

Video Processing Applications

• Video signal equalization in broadcast infrastructure
• Restoration of signals in professional audiovisual transmission systems
• Integration into complex communication equipment requiring SMPTE compliance

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CKD against official Gennum documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics, as variations exist within the GS9064 family. Confirm RoHS status, as some sources indicate non-compliance. Ensure the 16-SOIC package matches your PCB footprint requirements. Cross-reference with the official datasheet for exact thermal and voltage limits before finalizing procurement.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require equalization for 75Ω coaxial video links at standard definition or high-definition rates up to 270 Mbps. It is suitable for applications needing a dedicated bipolar IC for signal restoration rather than digital processing. Consider the 16-SOIC package constraints and the specific 3.1V to 3.5V supply requirement during board layout.

Video Processing Part Context

The GS9064 series represents Gennum's second-generation high-speed BiCMOS technology for video processing. This specific part is categorized under linear video processing ICs. It serves as a specialized solution for maintaining signal integrity in professional video distribution networks, distinguishing itself from general-purpose amplifiers by its focus on coaxial cable equalization.

Video Processing Replacement Considerations

The GS9064A is a related variant in the same family, also designed for 75Ω coaxial equalization. Verify if the A suffix denotes any functional or packaging differences compared to the CKD version. No other direct substitutes are confirmed in the provided public documentation.
