4.5 Carrier Detect, Sleep, and Auto-Sleep

The GS2994 includes a SLEEP input pin, which allows the application interface to put the

GS2994 into a low-power sleep mode, consuming less than 30mW. Set the SLEEP pin

HIGH to place the chip in its sleep state. In this mode, the Carrier Detect output will still

function in order to detect valid Serial Digital Input.

The Carrier Detect output pin (CD) indicates the presence of a valid signal at the input of

the GS2994. When CD is LOW, the device has detected a valid input on SDI and SDI.

When CD is HIGH, the device has not detected a valid input.

The Carrier Detect output still functions when the GS2994 is in sleep mode, such that a

valid Serial Digital Input can be detected at all times. In the sleep state, the carrier detect

functionality requires that the GAIN_SEL input be set to 0.

Auto-Sleep can be enabled by connecting CD to SLEEP. When connected, the GS2994

will automatically go into standby mode when there is a loss of Serial Digital Input

signal.

NOTE 1:

CD will only detect loss of carrier for data rates greater than 19Mb/s.

NOTE 2:

If the maximum cable length is exceeded (set by the SQ_ADJ pin) and the

device is not in Bypass mode, the CD pin will not be driven LOW, even if a carrier is

present.

NOTE 3:

If the CD is connected to SLEEP, SQ_ADJ should either be left open, or

connected to ground.
