Semtech GS12070 UHD-SDI Gearbox
Semtech GS12070 UHD-SDI Gearbox is a four-input and four-output device which supports conversions between multi-link, dual-link and single-link UHD-SDI interfaces. Semtech GS12070 supports conversions between the ST 425-3 and ST 425-5 multi-link 3Gb/s UHD-SDI Interface and the SMPTE ST 2081 (6Gb/s) and ST 2082 (12Gb/s) Interfaces. Conversion between 4 x 1.5Gb/s and 6Gb/s is also supported. The GS12070 features four high-speed differential signal inputs and four high-speed differential serial outputs which can be interfaced with 1.2V CML I/O. The high-speed inputs and outputs include programmable trace equalization and de-emphasis drivers to compensate for high-frequency losses associated with board-level interconnects.
