The GENLINX GS9007A is a bipolar intergrated circuit designed to drive four 75 ohm co-axial cables with SMPTE level serial digital video signals at data rates up to 360Mb/s. It directly interfaces with other GENLINX devices and can also be used as a general purpose high speed cable driver.
The differential inputs are AC-coupled and internally DC-restored wich allows correct passage of pathological check codes associated with the serial digital standards. Even though the inputs are AC-coupled, static protection diodes at each input restrict the DC differential so that if the driving source uses the opposite polarity power supply, external DC blocking capacitors must be used.
The GS9007A is packaged in an 8 pin SOIC, and operates from a single +5 or -5 volt supply consuming typically only 250mW of power.
