[September 11, 2012] Mindspeed introduces new adaptive equalizer Tweet Sep 11, 2012 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Mindspeed Technologies, Inc., a supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure applications, has introduced an adaptive equalizer for serial digital interface, or SDI, applications. The new equalizer joins Mindspeed's comprehensive SDI portfolio of equalizers, reclockers, cable drivers and crosspoint switches. It performs adaptive, low-noise, high-gain equalization for 75 ohm coaxial cables at all SDI data rates, supporting greater than 200m at 3Gbps (3G), the company said. The M21544 also features an integrated jitter cleaner that enables it to deliver jitter less than 0.20 unit intervals (UI) after compensating for 200m of cable at 2.97Gbps. It also provides additional high-frequency jitter margin, which can be used for intra-system routing and distribution. For applications where it is not required, the optional jitter cleaner can be powered down for even greater power efficiency, the company added. "This equalizer offers the performance, flexibility and power consumption equipment vendors demand for their next generation broadcast video system designs," said Hasnain Bajwa, senior vice president and general manager, high-performance analog (HPA), at Mindspeed. "Our new equalizer's capability to extend reach and provide extra system jitter margin will enable broadcasters to maximize utilization of their existing coax based infrastructure." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
