Control of the slew rate is determined by the setting of the SD/HD input pin.

4.4 Output Disable

The GS2989 supports an output disable function for each serial data differential output.

Control of this function is determined by the setting of the DISABLE1 and DISABLE2

control pins.

The serial output disables (DISABLE1 and DISABLE2), disable power to the current mode

serial data output drivers. When asserted LOW, the SDO/SDO output drivers are

powered-down.

When DISABLE1 and DISABLE2 are driven LOW simultaneously, the entire device is

powered down, and the power consumption is minimized.

4.5 Output Signal Presence Indicator (OSP)

The GS2989 supports an output signal presence indicator function.

The output signal presence pin (OSP) is an active-low output that indicates when a valid

output signal has been detected at the pre-driver output.

The output signal presence function measures signal-edge energy to indicate that the

pre-driver to the serial data outputs is toggling.
