LX5250CPW

Overview

The LX5250CPW is a high-performance, low-power CMOS serializer/deserializer (SerDes) component manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It is housed in a 28-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP). The device is designed to transmit high-speed serial data over copper cables, supporting video and control signals for professional broadcast and AV applications. It operates within standard industrial temperature ranges and complies with RoHS directives.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-speed serial transmission capabilities for video and control data over single-pair copper cabling.
• Designed for low power consumption suitable for portable and rack-mounted professional equipment.
• Supports robust signal integrity features to maintain data accuracy over extended cable lengths.

Applications

• Professional broadcast camera link interfaces
• High-definition video distribution systems
• Control signal transmission in AV infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking and date code against official Microsemi documentation to confirm authenticity. Ensure the package type matches the specified 28-TSSOP form factor. Check for any specific screening requirements if the application demands high-reliability standards beyond commercial grade.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-power SerDes solution is required for transmitting video and control data over copper pairs. Consider the pin count and package size constraints of the PCB design. Evaluate the operating voltage and interface compatibility with the source and sink devices in the system architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LX series of serializers and deserializers from Microsemi, now part of Microchip Technology. These components are widely used in professional audiovisual markets to replace bulky parallel connections with efficient serial links, enabling longer transmission distances with fewer wires.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Microchip's official obsolescence notices for direct replacements. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substituting with other LX series variants or competing SerDes ICs.
