Overview
The LMH0387SLE/NOPB is a 3 Gbps HD/SD SDI Configurable I/O Adaptive Cable Equalizer / Cable Driver produced by Texas Instruments. This device provides a single-chip interface to a BNC and can be configured either as an equalizer to receive data over coaxial cable or as a cable driver to transmit data. The same I/O pin is used for both input and output functions, offering flexibility in system design. It supports a wide range of data rates from 125 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps and complies with ST 424, ST 292, ST 344, ST 259, and DVB-ASI standards.
