DESCRIPTION

The GS9024C is a high performance automatic cable equalizer designed for serial digital data rates from 143Mb/s to 360Mb/s. The GS9024C receives either single-ended or differential serial data and outputs equalized differential signals at PECL levels (800mV). The GS9024C provides up to 40dB of gain at 200MHz which will typically result in equalization of greater than 350m at 270Mb/s of Belden 8281 cable.
