DESCRIPTION
Texas Instruments' Comlinear CLC006 is a
monolithic, high-speed cable driver designed for the
SMPTE 259M serial digital video data transmission
standard. The CLC006 drives 75Ω transmission lines
(Belden 8281 or equivalent) at data rates up to 400
Mbps. Controlled output rise and fall times (650 ps typical) minimize transition-induced jitter. The output
voltage swing, typically 1.65V, set by an accurate,
low-drift internal bandgap reference, delivers an 800
mV swing to back-matched and terminated 75Ω
cable. Output swing is adjustable from 0.7 VP-P to 2
VP-P using external resistors.
The CLC006’s class AB output stage consumes less
power than other designs, 185 mW with both outputs
terminated, and requires no external bias resistors.
The differential inputs accept a wide range of digital
signals from 200 mVP-P to ECL levels within the
specified common-mode limits. All this make the
CLC006 an excellent general purpose high speed
driver for digital applications.
The CLC006 is powered from a single +5V or −5.2V
supply and comes in an 8-pin SOIC package.
