Overview
Please use GS2988 for new designs.
The GS1678 is a high-speed BiCMOS integrated circuit designed to drive one or two 75Ω coaxial cables. The GS1678 can drive data rates up to 1.485Gb/s, and provides two selectable slew rates in order to achieve compliance to SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 259M and SMPTE 344M.
The GS1678 accepts industry-standard differential input levels, including LVPECL and CML. The DISABLE pin powers-down the output driver, leaving the serial data output in a high-impedance state. The GS1678 features an adjustable output swing using an external bias resistor. The single-ended output swing is adjustable from 600mVpp to 1200mVpp. The GS1678 can be powered from either a 3.3V or a 2.5V supply. Power consumption is typically 110mW using a 2.5V power supply.
The GS1678 is footprint and drop-in compatible with existing GS1578A and LMH0002 designs, with no additional application changes required.

In modern telecommunications and industrial automation systems, equipment is frequently deployed in challenging environments, exposing it to voltage transients that can originate from sources such as motor switching, power line fluctuations, indirect lightning strikes, electrostatic buildup, and human-induced Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)) events. These transients pose significant risks, ranging from data corruption to catastrophic system failures, leading to costly downtime and repairs. As industrial and telecom systems become increasingly interconnected, safeguarding sensitive electronics from ESD and other transient voltage events is crucial. Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes provide a robust first line of defense by rapidly diverting excess energy to ground, as illustrated in Figure 1, with sub-nanosecond response times to clamp voltage spikes and protect critical components.
