Equalized pass-band ripple 1 dB to 70 MHz Input: differential or single ended Supply current: 24 mA on 5 V Small 8-lead 3 mm 3 mm LFCSP APPLICATIONS Keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) RGB video over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable receivers Professional video projection and distribution Security video GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8128 is a high speed, differential receiver/equalizer that The AD8128 has three control pins for optimal CAT-5/CAT-5e compensates for the transmission losses of unshielded twisted pair compensation. The equalized cable length is directly proportional (UTP) CAT-5 cables. Various frequency dependent gain stages to the voltage applied to the VPEAK pin, which controls the amount are summed together to best approximate the inverse frequency of high frequency peaking. VGAIN adjusts the broadband gain response of CAT-5/CAT-5e cable. An equalized bandwidth of from 0 dB to 3 dB, compensating for the resistive cable loss. 120 MHz can be achieved for 100 meters of cable. V allows the output to be shifted by 2.5 V, adding OFFSET flexibility for dc-coupled systems. The AD8128 can be used as a standalone receiver/equalizer or in conjunction with the AD8143, triple differential receiver, to Low integrated output noise and offset voltage adjust make the provide a complete low cost solution for receiving RGB over AD8128 an excellent choice for dc-coupled wideband RGB-over- UTP cable in such applications as KVM. CAT-5 applications. For systems where the UTP cable is longer than 100 meters, two AD8128 devices can be cascaded to compensate for up to 200 meters of CAT-5/CAT-5e. The AD8128 is available in a 3 mm 3 mm 8-lead LFCSP and is rated to operate over the extended temperature range of 40C to +85C. Rev.
