Gennum HDcctv Solutions

The HDcctv Alliance® estimates that 26 million CCTV cameras shipped in 2008. It is estimated

that around 41 million units will ship in 2014. The Alliance projects that the HDcctv product category will initially take a small

share of the video surveillance market, growing to around 15% by 2014.

Despite the growth of IP-based video surveillance, in the analog/HDcctv world, edge based hacking attacks on the network are impossible since the hacker needs to gain direct access to the DVR. IP networked cameras, on the other hand, are highly vulnerable to edge based hacking.

Gennum’s GV76xx HDcctv Chipset Value Added Features• Gennum HDcctv solutions leverage the large installed base of analog composite or component video over robust, co-ax

cable based video systems with a low-power alternative interface providing a high quality, all-digital, long reach video transport transmit solution.

• Upgrades existing analog composite over coax installations directly to high definition systems at 720p and 1080p.

• Power over the coax cable (PoC) from up to 30V at 1A (NOTE: a future revision of the HDcctv standard will fully Power-over-Coax). Ethernet can offer similar with power over Ethernet (PoE).

• Bidirectional auxiliary channel at up to 6Mb/s data rate while carrying the HD serial digital video content. This can be useful for controlling features such as pan/tilt/zoom (NOTE: a future revision of the HDcctv standard will fully define up-the-cable communications).

• The GV76XX parts are fully compliant with the HDcctv 1.0 standard adopted by the HDcctv™ Alliance, for High Definition video surveillance connectivity.

POWR1014A Breakout Board Evaluation Kit Lattice Breakout Board Evaluation Kits offer a convenient way to conduct hardware evaluations by providing easy hand-access to densely-spaced PLD I/Os. Because the center-to-center spacing of the package pins/balls of PLD modern packages can be 1.00 mm BSC (Basic Spacing between Spacing) or less, it can be very difficult to probe I/Os once a circuit board has been fabricated. The electrical traces of Lattice Breakout boards connect each I/O to header landings that have 100 mil (0.1 inch) centered holes. By adding test probes, jumper wires, or pin headers to the header landings, you can easily evaluate voltage monitors, high-voltage FET drivers, and open drain outputs of the POWR1014A.

Development Kit Contents:

integrity.Gennum’s award winning portfolio of professional and broadcast solutions

includes Crosspoints, Equalizers, Reclockers, Cable Drivers, Serializers, Deserializers,

Timing and Clock Cleaners and Video Optical Module solutions.

APPLICATIONS:

Like any transmission medium, cables impose transmission losses on the signals they carry, manifested as signal dispersion and loss of high-frequency content. Unless something is done to compensate for these losses, they can render the cables useless for transmitting high resolution & high speed signals over reasonable distances. Therefore, to compensate for cable losses, an equalizer can be utilized at the receiving end of the cable.

Designed for use in SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 259M serial digital video applications Serial routing switchers Professional video editing equipment Production and master control switchers Distribution amplifiers Broadcast video to Fiber Channel or Gigabit Ethernet transport linecards Camera control units for medical imaging equipment

Overcome Signal Attenuation and Noise & Jitter Interference Challenges in USB 3.0 System DesignTo offset the signal quality degradation, Pericom offers a broad array of USB 3.0 ReDrivers for maintaining a high level of SI (Signal Integrity) during Tx and Rx of USB 3.0 high-speed signals.

The highly anticipated USB 3.0 is now seeing wide spread adoption in PC, Notebook, Server and Portable Devices. USB 3.0 delivers an unprecedented bandwidth, 10 times that of USB 2.0. USB 3.0 supports full-duplex communication, or the ability to send and receive data simultaneously. It also improves QoS (Quality of Service) thanks to advance data error checking, while saving power with the USB 3.0 link power management. Most importantly, it is 100% backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices. However, with all these added benefits, the high-speed differential signal of USB 3.0 also introduces uncontrollable noise, or signal attenuation, causing USB 3.0 signal voltage swing to overshoot or undershoot the “optimal eye opening”. This distorts the quality of USB 3.0 signal eye during high-speed signal switching. USB 3.0 signal quality is gravely impacted when

random or deterministic noise degrades the signal quality with crosstalk during transmitting and receiving of USB 3.0 packets between USB 3.0 hosts and peripheral devices.

Faced with complex PCB layout challenges, USB 3.0 system designers see significant benefits from Pericom USB 3.0 ReDrivers in transmitting and receiving reliable USB 3.0 signals with strong output swing, effective jitter removal, flexible transmit emphasis and receiver equalization. System designers don’t always have full control as to how USB 3.0 end-point devices, like external HDDs, digital cameras, handhelds, or tablets, are connected between host and end point. When the signal travels thru extensive traces, multi-layer vias, connectors before exiting to the USB 3.0 ports or cables, the transmit eye of USB 3.0 host or device may show significant degradation from

jitter, attenuation or insertion loss. As result, the USB 3.0 link may likely suffer greater BER and link recovery during USB 3.0 cable plug and un-plug processes. USB 3.0 system designers need to take greater measures to ensure strong SI during USB 3.0 Tx and Rx signal transmission. Pericom’s USB 3.0 ReDriver devices offer the exact Signal Conditioning Solutions to ensure that the USB 3.0 eye is fully optimized to maintain consistent level of SI when routing extensive long traces across connectors, vias and thru cables.

With Pericom’s USB 3.0 ReDrivers, system designers are given greater flexibility to design and route High-speed USB 3.0 signals in a challenging environments while maintaining consistent level of signal quality.

FEATURES:

USB 3.0 compatible Two 5.0Gbps differential signal pairs Adjustable Receiver Equalization 100Ω Differential CML I/O’s Pin Configured Output Emphasis Control Input signal level detect and squelch for each channel Automatic Receiver Detect with digital enable/disable Low Power : ~315mW Auto "Slumber" mode for adaptive power management Stand-by Mode – Power Down State Single Supply Voltage: 3.3V Packaging: 24-Contact TQFN (4x4mm) or 20-Contact TQFN (4x4mm)

Mobile SDRAMs for High Performance with Low PowerOnly ISSI offers a complete portfolio of LPDDR memories, ideal for applications requiring low operating power and ultra low standby current. JEDEC standard 1.8V supply voltage interfaces with all popular MCUs.

Demand continues to grow for mobile consumer devices like GPS/navigation

systems, smart phones, digital cameras, and gaming units. This creates the requirement

for ever increasing processing capacity and with that the need for more dynamic

memory (DRAM) for fast access and processing of the multimedia content. At the same

time, mobile products are shrinking in size, with less space for batteries, necessitating

the use of LPDDR products. These meet the data bandwidth need but have much

lower operating and standby currents than traditional “PC” memory. The result is the

increasing use of higher density LPDDR devices in various form-factors including BGA

package, Package-on-Package (PoP) and Known Good Die (KGD).

Many Industrial and Medical applications also have adopted LPDDR products to

take advantage of the low voltage / low power features of LPDDRs. Virtually every new

MicroController (MCU) uses advanced process technology, limiting I/O voltage to 1.8V.

Rather than having to use DDR2 devices with much higher density than is needed and

with a substantially higher power consumption, engineers are turning to LPDDR devices

such as the popular 128Mb product from ISSI. The IS43LR32400F offers a sweet-spot in

terms of density and performance, but with lower power and reduced system cost than

equivalent DDR2 devices.

For applications such as Smart Grid equipment, Test & Measurement products, and

medical devices which require extended life time support, the LPDDR devices from ISSI

are the perfect solution to the designers memory needs.

APPLICATIONS:

Industrial Applications Smart Meters Smart appliances Test and Measurement equipment

XL375 CC - 260 Watts without FansUltra Small, High Efficiency Power Supply with Convection Cooling Option Delivers 260 Watts Without Fans.

The new Convection Cooling Option for the XL375 family delivers 260 watts across all output voltages and eliminates the fans and fan controllers needed to cool conventional power supplies, saving cost and freeing up valuable component space. Doing away with fans and related components and circuitry is significant to designers tasked with increasing the reliability and decreasing the noise of products (fans may fail, and they generate most of the audible sound in contemporary designs).

OEMs can design in both convection-cooled and fan-cooled power supplies that use the same very compact, low profile 3.3” x 5” x 1.5” packaging, connectors and layout, saving time and cost. The very low profile packaging is ideally suited to 1U product designs and makes the system designer’s job much easier.

The Convection Cooling Option gives OEMs a distinct packaging and cost benefit while also reducing overall power consumption and cooling requirements for applications such as industrial automation, telecommunications, gaming systems, security and surveillance systems, and network servers. Our unique technology gives OEM engineers new flexibility in power system design that pays real competitive dividends in their final products.

All models also include Active Current Sharing to allow up to four supplies to be operated in parallel for high output applications. The Active OR-ing mosfet board option is available for N+1 applications. Both 5V standby and 12V auxiliary outputs can be wired Or-able when the main output is disabled. Synchronous rectification delivers exceptionally high efficiency: up to 93% in some models.
