This product has reached its End of Life. Its data sheet is for reference only.
Please use the GS2988 for new designs.
The GS1578A is a second generation high-speed bipolar integrated circuit designed to drive one or two 75 Ohm co-axial cables.
The GS1578A may drive data rates up to 1.485Gb/s and provides two selectable slew rates in order to achieve compliance to SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 344M and SMPTE 292M.
The GS1578A accepts a LVPECL level differential input that may be AC coupled. External biasing resistors at the inputs are not required.
Power consumption is typically 168mW using a 3.3V power supply. The GS1578A is Pb-free, and the encapsulation compound does not contain halogenated flame retardant (RoHS compliant).

READ NOWWhen we talk about our AirLink® Pro Router solutions, like the brand-new AirLink® XR60 (a.k.a the smallest rugged 5G router*), we keep bumping into this word: "rugged".
But why does it matter? Why is being 'rugged' crucial for mission-critical applications? And what exactly does a router need to do or be to earn this “rugged” badge?
Unpacking Ruggedness: More Than Just a Label
READ NOWWe’ve all seen the explosion of USB capability since USB 3.1 was released: using USB for network, power in and out, to connect displays and supporting adapters that do just about anything except brew your coffee. Laptops with no Ethernet ports are now common, with some only featuring USB-C ports. Store shelves (brick and mortar or virtual) are lined with adapters. Cellular routers, too, are part of this shift, with advanced models like Semtech’s AirLink® XR series featuring USB-C ports.
In this blog, we delve into the potential uses of the USB-C port on Semtech’s AirLink® XR series of Pro routers.
What can you do With USB on Your AirLink® XR…

READ NOWThinking of upgrading to a 5G router? You may be drawn to the promise of unprecedented speeds — with the theoretical peak speed reaching up to 5 gigabits per second. That's around 50 times faster than your trusty old 4G. Imagine what you could do with that kind of speed — from real-time video streaming to immersive augmented reality experiences.
However, the performance of a 5G router isn't solely defined by its speed. In reality, it's a complex web of hardware and software components working together that determines its performance. And speed, while important, is just one piece of this intricate puzzle.
More Than Just Speed: The Key Factors Determining…
